Notes: I hope readers enjoy this little bit of Ron/Draco. The two of them took over my brain when I saw these prompts. I played a little loose with the song one, but I do Ron demonstrated the loneliness implied in the song, and I referenced him listening to sad music, and you really don’t get sadder than country, so I think that’s what he was listening to. In any case, I think it works well enough. I happen to love country music, so please don’t think I meant my comments in a negative way. Apologies for this long-winded note, and please do feel free to tell me what you think.

Summary: Draco tries to cheer a heartbroken Ron up.






Infiltrating the Nest

“Weasley, for Merlin’s sake, do get your sorry arse out of bed. Even I’m starting to feel sorry for you, and that’s not good for my image.”

“My fiancée left me for another woman, Malfoy. It’s not as if she went to Australia to study oceanography or something. It won’t kill you to show a little sympathy for once in your life.”

“I’m very sympathetic to your plight, aren’t I? I wouldn’t be here otherwise. But I fail to see how listening to sad music is helping you to get over this. It looks to me like you’re wallowing.”

“I’m not wallowing, you git. This is called healing is what it is.”

“Weasley, it’s two o’clock in the afternoon, and you’re still in your dressing gown,” Draco pointed out, sighing in exasperation.

“So what?” Ron grumbled, glaring at the blond.

“So you need to get out of bed and start doing something constructive.”

“Like what, may I ask? Practising my quidditch manoeuvres? Learning the Hawkshead Attacking Formation?”

“That would be better than lying abed all day like a lump. By doing that, you’re giving her all the power over your emotions, and you’re better than that. I know it.”

“Did you just say something nice about me, or am I hallucinating due to extreme depression?” Ron wondered.

“Don’t get used to, Weasley. You know I never liked you. I’m only here because Potter thought I might be capable of stinging you out of your nest of misery.”

“She left me, Malfoy. For another woman.”

“So you’ve said. The way I see things, she did you one hell of a favour.”

“Why would you say that?”

“She left you because she realised that she preferred women?”

“Yeah. She said she couldn’t be with me anymore because she noticed that we started checking out the same girls. Said it wasn’t fair to either of us to go on pretending.”

“She always was smart. At least now you won’t have children with beaver teeth.”

“Oh har har. You’re just so hilarious.”

“I know. Everyone loves me.”

“I don’t.”

“Give it time, Weasley. Let me take you to dinner. ”

“Like a date?”

“Do you want it to be?”
