In which Ron loses his temper big time.
Ron beat the poo out of Draco because Draco was being a git.
[06:41] Ron: *wanders downstairs*
Draco: *is in the mansion but can be here too if Ron wants to talk*
[06:42] Ron: *wakes himself up and heads in that direction*
Draco: *can go back in here then!*
[06:52] Draco: Have you spoken with Hermione again?
[06:53] Ron: Not since the other day.
[06:53] Ron: I mean, I did talk to her.
Draco: *studies Ron with a thoughtful expression*
[06:56] Ron: *nods*
Draco: Do you love her?
[06:58] Ron: Of course I do, d'you need to ask?
[06:59] Draco: *raises eyebrow* Can you say *why* you love her?
[07:00] Ron: I just ... do? It's not really something you can explain, but there are reasons, yeah. Why do you love Harry?
[07:01] Draco: *thoughtfully* There are many reasons.. and I do know what you mean that it is hard to explain...
[07:02] Draco: Do you think she is the ideal girl for you though?
[07:03] Ron: I wouldn't be with her if I didn't ... What are you trying to get at?
[07:04] Draco: I...
[07:04] Draco: *shakes his head*
[07:04] Ron: No, what?
[07:04] Ron: You're getting at -something-, what is it?
[07:04] Draco: Nevermind, it is not my decision to make.
[07:05] Ron: M'I not good enough I again?
[07:05] Ron: *frowns*
[07:05] Ron: Tell me.
[07:06] Draco: *thinks of what he should say*
[07:07] Draco: If you could reverse everything and not be married to her, would you do that?
[07:08] Ron: Of course not. I'd marry her eventually.
[07:09] Draco: So you would have prefered to wait?
[07:10] Ron: I .. guess? Doesn't mean I wouldn't have been with her.
[07:11] Draco: You would not want to go out with another girl more seriously? Brown, for instance?
[07:12] Ron: She was fun, but not really serious ...
[07:13] Draco: *appears to be probing for answers* You prefer to be with a serious girl or a fun one?
[07:13] Ron: Hermione's both.
[07:14] Ron: I like that she's serious. Of course I want a girl who's serious, but so long as she can have fun, yeah?
[07:15] Draco: *looks away in thought*
[07:17] Ron: Why do you care all of a sudden>
[07:17] Ron: ?
[07:18] Draco: Does that matter?
[07:18] Ron: I think I have a right to know, don't I?
[07:19] Draco: I am merely concerned for her welfare.
[07:20] Ron: Because I'm treating her poorly, right? *frowns*
[07:20] Draco: It would be good to know you both made the right decision.
[07:20] Draco: For both of you.
[07:21] Draco: I did not say you treat her poorly..
[07:21] Ron: She loves me back, you know.
[07:22] Draco: Yes. I know that.
[07:23] Draco: I am not doubting that you love each other.
[07:24] Ron: Why're you so interested, then? I don't ask questions about you and Harry.
[07:26] Draco: *purses his lips slightly* Should I not be concerned about a friend?
[07:27] Ron: No, you just don't seem to trust me.
[07:29] Draco: I trust you with her.. But honestly? I do not believe you are the ideal man for her.
[07:29] Ron: Why not? Who is, then? *frowns*
[07:30] Draco: *hesitates* ... It does not matter.
[07:30] Draco: If she loves you - then that should be enough...
[07:31] Ron: Tell me, don't lead me on.
[07:32] Draco: It is not my decision to make and thus only my opinion so no, I will not say.
[07:33] Ron: You're a git, you know that?
[07:33] Draco: *arches an eyebrow*
[07:33] Draco: Fine.
[07:34] Draco: I am not going to argue with you, Weasley.
[07:35] Ron: No, you're just going to tell me that Hermione can do better.
[07:35] Ron: Have you been telling her that?
[07:36] Draco: That is none of your business. She has her own mind. She can make her own decisions.
[07:36] Ron: What d'you tell her, Malfoy?
[07:37] Draco: [So sorry, really! He's getting more opinionated again.]
[07:37] Ron: You make suggestions? Tell her we're a mistake?
[07:37] Draco: I told you. It is between her and myself and so is none of your business.
[07:37] Ron: [[ It's OK! Ron's going to be an arse and bite back, though. ]]
[07:38] Ron: Then why is what happens with her and me any of -yours-?
[07:38] Draco: [Okay]
[07:38] Ron: [[ *smacks him* Don't be rude, Ron. ]]
[07:38] Draco: I am concerned about her.
[07:39] Ron: -Why-? I'm her husband, you moron.
[07:39] Draco: *narrows his eyes* Because I am her *friend*.
[07:39] Ron: Some friend, if he tells her she can do better.
[07:40] Ron: She wouldn't have said yes if she hadn't believed I was the best.
[07:40] Draco: *bursts out angrily* If it is the truth? Yes!
[07:40] Ron: You can lay off! She said -yes-!
[07:41] Ron: We've got a family on the way, don't honestly think that I'm not her best choice!
[07:41] Draco: *incredulously* You really think she cannot do better than you?
[07:41] Ron: She's the smartest witch anybody's ever met, she wouldn't make a mistak!
[07:41] Ron: *mistake!
[07:41] Draco: *meanly* An unplanned family, you mean...
[07:42] Ron: Piss off, we want them more than anything!
[07:42] Ron: Or are you jealous that you can't have that, eh?
[07:42] Draco: *frowns*
[07:43] Draco: You want them because now you *have* to have them.
[07:43] Draco: I would never be jealous of you, Weasley.
[07:43] Ron: We -chose- to have them.
[07:44] Draco: and yes, I do think she can do far better then you.
[07:44] Draco: Chose? You are saying that wasn't a mistake because you could not control yourself?
[07:44] Ron: *twitches and pulls himself up*
[07:44] Draco: *arches eyebrows*
[07:45] Ron: We made a choice and it's not. Your. Business! *punches Draco in the face*
[07:45] Draco: Really. You are such a stupid--
[07:45] Draco: *reels back*
[07:45] Draco: *scowls, his nose bleeding*
[07:45] Ron: *holds his fist up should he swing again*
[07:46] Draco: *clenches his fists*
[07:46] Ron: You're stupid for thinking you know better!
[07:46] Draco: How dare you...
[07:46] Ron: How dare -you-?!
[07:46] Draco: I *do* know better.
[07:46] Draco: All your family are stupid.
[07:46] Draco: Always have been.
[07:46] Draco: *narrows his eyes*
[07:46] Ron: *punches Draco again and pushes him to the floor*
[07:47] Draco: *falls heavily*
[07:47] Draco: *winces in pain*
[07:47] Draco: That's it!
[07:47] Draco: *pulls out his wand*
[07:47] Ron: *sits on Draco's chest and pulls out his own, pointing it at his neck*
[07:48] Ron: You take everything back, you bastard! Everything!
[07:48] Draco: *flinches and freezes*
[07:48] Ron: You haven't changed at all!
[07:48] Draco: No! ... What are you going to do....?
[07:48] Draco: *shaking a bit but scowling at him*
[07:48] Ron: I'll 'effing kill you if you don't shut up!
[07:48] Draco: *flinches again*
[07:49] Ron: You think I'm useless? You think I'm rubbish? You don't have a chance, Malfoy!
[07:49] Draco: *somewhat desperately* You'll kill me? You think Harry will be happy about that?
[07:49] Draco: *cringes*
[07:50] Ron: He'll understand, I'm sure. I was his friend long before you. *glares*
[07:50] Draco: ....
[07:50] Draco: *glares back*
[07:50] Ron: *prods Draco's neck with his wand*
[07:50] Draco: *mutters* You wouldn't dare...
[07:50] Draco: Ow!
[07:50] Draco: ...
[07:51] Draco: *grits his teeth* Stop. It.
[07:51] Ron: How d'you know, you don't know anything about me!
[07:51] Draco: *tries to push him off*
[07:51] Ron: You've never stopped!
[07:51] Ron: *throws his weight on Draco to keep him down*
[07:51] Draco: *winded* Oof!
[07:51] Draco: ....
[07:51] Ron: I want you out of this common room! Stay the hell away from Hermione!
[07:52] Draco: *tightly* I know you are not good enough for *her*.
[07:52] Draco: No.
[07:52] Draco: *You* stay away from her.
[07:52] Draco: *glares*
[07:52] Ron: *growls and punches Draco again*
[07:53] Draco: *his head snaps back against the floor and he is heavily dazed*
[07:53] Ron: *leaps off Draco before yelling 'Petrificus Totalus' and binding him*
[07:53] Draco: *groans in pain*
[07:53] Ron: Fine, you won't leave? *fumes* Fine.
[07:53] Ron: 'Mobilicorpus!'
[07:53] Draco: *can't move*
[07:54] Ron: *brings Malfoy up and shoves him in the broom cupboard* Can sodding stay here, then.
[07:54] Draco: *is shoved*
[07:56] Ron: *scowls and slams the door before kicking it in frustration and anger*
[07:57] Ron: *grabs his bag and storms out of the common room*
[07:57] Draco: *is frozen and very uncomfortably squashed, not to mention bleeding - which is luckily frozen too*
[07:57] Ron: *couldn't care less if Draco rotted for an age*
[07:58] Draco: *has to wait for someone to rescue him now*
[07:58] Ron: *ha ha ha*
[07:59] Draco: *waits miserably*
[07:59] Ron: *angrily heads to lessons*
(Hermione rescued him later, for the record!)
[06:41] Ron: *wanders downstairs*
Draco: *is in the mansion but can be here too if Ron wants to talk*
