harry is woken up by seamus' cackling. still half-asleep, he puts on his glasses and sees dean chasing seamus across the dorm, a glittery pink tie in his hands. "what did you do to it?", he roars, waving his wand in desperation and to no avail. "change it back, seamus, i swear if you don't-"

ron, already getting out of his own bed, laughs. "i think it'll suit you, dean." dean glares daggers at him before tackling seamus onto his bed, where a sort of wrestling match begins.

neville yawns and climbs out of bed, too tired to notice the heaps of parchment still left on the floor from late night OWL practice, and he slips so unfortunately that he has to struggle for several seconds to find his balance. ron laughs so hard he misses one of the buttons of his shirt, before grabbing harry by the wrist (he's still sleep warm and softer around the edges) and dragging him out of bed.

"c'mon harry, hermione will be waiting for us, we're going to hogsmeade, remember?"

seamus wolf-whistles, and dean (splayed halfway across seamus, holding his arms down) wiggles his eyebrows in an obnoxious manner. "yeah, don't make your girlfriend wait, ron." ron's ears promptly turn a deep shade of pink as he stammers denial, making harry grin.

seamus starts loudly singing something about ron and hermione in a tree, and only shuts up when dean lightly slaps his face, the tie still in hand. seamus grins up at him with mischief in his eyes. "joke's on you, thomas, i'm into that shit." dean groans and shakes his head, but even neville laughs.

the dorm is warm, and harry glows as he starts changing. he's so lucky to be here.

thinking of how ron weasley stole a car, broke wizarding laws and broke into a house when he was 12 to get his best friend away from his abusive family. the way he stood up to a mass murderer at 13, with a broken leg at that, to shield harry.

about how the thing harry at 14 would miss most in the world- after all the things he'd lost, after a huge argument- was his best friend ron.

these two go so deep and love each other so much and i can't stand that this fandom doesn't appreciate it enough
