Now, really, Flourish, what makes you so sure about Ron's love for Harry being
platonic? I actually happen to like Ron/Harry a good deal, when it's done properly.
Except half the time it's Slutty!Harry secretly desiring Ron but thinking he can't get
him, so going with Draco/Fred/George/All three instead, never realizing that Ron
actually loves him back...I don't think that's very in character, personally. There are
good ones, though.

And this would make me the third to concur - sometimes it's that a slashy pairing seems
equally/more logical than other, het, pairings. I mean, if Hermione slapping Draco and
Draco insulting Hermione was enough fodder to produce the first D/H fics, isn't Harry
or Ron's dislike for Draco also enough to make Draco/Harry or Draco/Ron equally
'fanon-legitimate'?
