“Lucky for you,” Weasley said calmly, “I’m willing to capitulate.”

Draco stared at him, horrified. “That was a good apology,” he said. If Weasley wasn’t willing to accept his apology, he was stuck.

Weasley rolled his eyes. “It was all right,” he admitted. “But you have fucktons of bad shit to make up for. Literally years of it.”

Draco looked at his shoes again. “You’re right,” he said.

“And that’s why I’m willing to give you a chance,” Weasley continued. “Because your apology was decent enough, but I can tell you actually meant it. That’s the part that really matters.”

Weasley spat his timothy on the ground. “You apologized to Rosmerta?”

Draco nodded.

“Then come inside. Buy me a pint.”

“Katie Bell,” Draco managed to mumble.

“She’ll be here in twenty minutes,” Weasley said, looking smug.

Draco stared. “But, in her owl… she wouldn’t commit to hearing my apology.”

“It helps that I asked,” Weasley said, his tone serious. “It helps that I’ll be there. That we’ll all three be in public. And it helps that Andromeda Tonks trusts you.”

“Aunt Andromeda,” Draco said. It all made so much more sense now. Chastened, Draco nodded and followed Weasley back around.

Wow Ron come of your high horse! You were not an angel either and just because you came out on the right side of the war, does not make up for you being a tempramental arse with a chip on his shoulder about his poverty that had the size of alaska!

I hope one day someone will tell Mr Ron Weasley that, otherwise this entire fucking war will just start over again.

Wow, we're gonna have to disagree on this. I think Ron was within his rights. Draco was a shithead while they were kids in school.

which is fine I think I have quite a different view of Ron Weasley, and I think he is not the better man here. Draco was a "Shithead" as you said in school. But Ron should not lord the fact that he came out on the winner side over someone who is trying to make up for it. It takes more moral fibre to own up for past mistakes, than just not making them because your parents raised you differently and you were lucky to become friends with Harry Potter as a child.
