Harry was struggling with how to tell Ron about his relationship with Draco.

They had been seeing each other for three months, and decided that it was silly to keep their relationship a secret now that Voldemort was dead. Even though Gryffindors and Slytherins were at each others’ throats as a rule, it hadn’t prevented the occasional couple from emerging between the two rival houses. Most friends would come around eventually.

No, Harry’s problem was Ron. Malfoys and Weasleys just didn‘t get on.

“Here’s the thing, Ron. Malfoy and I are … well, we’re together. Don’t bother arguing --”

“Okay.”

================

“What?!?” Harry couldn’t believe his ears. “What do you mean okay?”

“Well, I would think that was obvious. If he makes you happy, then it’s okay with me.”

“Who are you, and what did you do with my best mate?”

“Here’s the thing, Harry. After everything that we’ve all been though, don’t you think life is enough of a struggle? Why not enjoy what you can? I know I plan to.”

Harry was sure that someone had messed with Ron’s head, but he wasn’t going to argue with him.

“Of course you know I’ll kill him if he hurts you.”
