Ron, Harry and Percy have a very tense lunch (Ron makes Percy pick up the tab) where a tooth-grittingly polite Ron asks them what the fuck is going on? He gets really ticked off when it turns out Hermione knew all along ("What? You don't think you could trust me?") and the 'gay thing' is pretty much a non-issue compared to that. Although he is not happy at all at the idea that Harry's with... "Harry. That's my brother." Once they hash out the trust issue the fact that Harry's with Percy strikes him as somewhat incestuous. Harry's family in Ron's mind and somehow Ginny is okay, but Percy makes him squirm. He tells Harry that he "doesn't want to know" what they got up to, a contradiction that leaves Harry and Percy blinking at each other.
"Ron," Harry says, recovering first. "That's exactly why I didn't tell you."
Those two, by the way, continue to go out.
Well. Okay, despite Percy's bold words he's not really willing to go out "dressed," but Harry slowly talks him into going to Muggle gay bars and other "safe" places. Slowly they get braver and Percy starts keeping a collection of newspaper clippings of himself in femme with Harry. He gets a little jealous of his alter-ego weirdly enough, because she gets more press coverage than Percy-as-Ministry-employee, even though all she does is hang on Harry's arm. On the other hand, he looks gorgeous in femme.
It's only a matter of time before those two go too far.
