"Ronald that is not what Harry means! He was never going to choose between you two because he didn’t need to make a choice. Harry was hoping that you would be able to put your differences aside like Malfoy had done for Harry’s sake. That’s the whole point! Malfoy was going out of his way to help Harry because he wanted to! I know you’re trying to protect Harry in some convoluted way, but this is not how to do it. Malfoy won’t hurt him, not like you, or even I have for that manner.
