Title: Party Guests Team: Ron Rating/Warnings: U Wordcount: 320 Prompt: Trick or Treat Disclaimer: I do own Ron and Draco. JKR can keep everything else. Oh go on, Jo! Give them to me! Please. Apparently I don't own any part of the Potterverse.
“Do you think they'll come?” Ron asked his partner, doubtfully.
The quill scratched addresses onto a pile of envelopes and the invitation cards decorated with glittery dancing pumpkins hopped inside them. Ron thought the glitter was a bit much, actually, but if it kept Draco happy then why not?
“Some of them will,” Draco replied. “Others will never forgive us.” He stroked Ron's forearm. “This is how we find out which ones.”
Draco had said they should invite friends only, no family, but for Ron, his family were so embedded in his group of friends that he couldn't separate them. He hoped Harry would come, and that he would persuade Ginny. He hadn't seen much of them since baby Molly's party. He missed them.
He wondered whether Hermione would come. There was a rumour that she was with Luna now. If she was happy, then she might be able to forgive him, the two of them might come to the party.
He watched the names as the owls took off. Dean, Neville and Hannah, George, Lavender and Lee ... He hoped they would be there for Halloween, because acceptance of and invitation would mean acceptance of his relationship with the son of Lucius Malfoy, Voldemort's faithful follower.
There were other names, though, Gregory Goyle and guest, Pansy Parkinson, the Greengrass sisters ... Just the thought of being in a room with those people might e enough to put his friends off coming.
On the night, Draco and Ron decorated their apartment with lanterns and pumpkins, made punch and stuck cocktail sticks in sausages (“you have no class, Weasel”) and they waited.
Dozens came. The place was filled and they all seemed to be having a good time. But they all came in costumes, with masks, so by the end of the night, the couple still didn't know who was against them and who was prepared to forgive them.
