Rating: 12 (for language) TW: Homophobic language (of the rather dated kind, because Ron).
It was a truth universally acknowledged that Ron Weasley was rubbish with women. As far as he knew, the only girl who'd ever been interested in him was Lavender - and it was a mystery what had kept her around for so long. Even then, Ron had managed to fuck it up spectacularly.
So, all in all, when Ron had suggested he and Astoria go for a drink he'd just been trying his luck. He hadn't remotely expected her to actually say yes. Yet here he was, standing awkwardly by the door of The Hound's Pint with combed hair and clean trousers. He'd even had Molly check there weren't any stray leaves or bits of twig clinging to him before he left the house. He checked his pocket - for the third time - to make sure he had enough coins to cover a couple of drinks for them both, then looked up as the door opened.
