The consequences could be significant. Ron's jealousy and shock could lead to arguments between them. However, if they communicate well, their friendship could survive and even become stronger as Ron learns to accept Harry's relationship.
For their friendship, it would be a big test. At first, Ron might be so angry that he avoids Harry. But if Harry is patient and tries to make Ron understand his feelings for Viktor, they could work through it. If not, it could lead to a long - term rift in their friendship. Ron would have to come to terms with the fact that Harry has a relationship with someone he didn't expect, and Harry would have to be sensitive to Ron's concerns. Only then could their friendship endure this new development.
In the fanfic world, Ron's reaction to Harry dating Viktor would be complex. Ron has his own insecurities and a sense of loyalty towards Harry. When he discovers this relationship, he may feel like his friendship with Harry is being threatened. He could also be embarrassed because he might think that the wizarding world would gossip about it. His initial response might be to distance himself from Harry, but as he thought more about it and realized that Harry's happiness was important, he might slowly accept the situation, though it would be a long and bumpy process for him.
In the fanfiction world, the abusers may find themselves ostracized by the wizarding community once Viktor reveals what they've done. If Viktor has friends or allies in high places, they could ensure that the abusers are held accountable for their actions. There could also be legal consequences within the wizarding laws if the abuse is of a certain nature. For example, if it involves dark magic or illegal forms of coercion, the abusers could be sent to Azkaban or face other forms of severe punishment.
Their friendship would become deeper. Ron would be more protective and more attuned to Harry's emotions. There would be a new level of trust as Harry has shared such a difficult and personal experience with Ron.
One possible consequence could be that Draco feels a sense of shock and disbelief. He might initially struggle to process the information. He could then feel a newfound sense of protectiveness towards Ron. After all, in the wizarding world, such a heinous act goes against all notions of respect and safety. Draco might also start to question the people around Ron, wondering how such a thing could have happened without anyone preventing it.
It could also lead to a divide within their group of friends. Hermione, for instance, might be caught in the middle, not knowing who to side with. This could create a lot of tension and conflict among the characters, adding more drama to the fanfic. If the punch was public, it could also damage Ron's reputation among their peers, as punching a friend is not an acceptable behavior in most cases.
In the fanfiction, if Ron finds out Harry is abused, it's a complex situation. Ron's reaction would be multi - faceted. Emotionally, he'd be a mess. He loves Harry like a brother. He might feel guilty for not noticing earlier. Ron would also start to view Harry in a new light, with more compassion and understanding. He would use his Weasley family connections to find resources or help for Harry. Maybe he'd ask his mother for advice or even get his older brothers involved if the abuse was from a powerful source within the wizarding world.
Harry might be really angry with Ron and it could damage their friendship. They've been through a lot together, and stealing something as important as the cloak is a big betrayal.
One great Ron and Harry friendship fanfic is 'The Marauders' Map Adventure'. It delves into their Hogwarts years and shows how they use the map to get into all sorts of mischief together. Another good one is 'Bond Beyond Quidditch' which focuses on their relationship strengthening through their love for the sport. And 'The Secret Roommates' is also a fun read where they share a lot of late - night conversations and secrets.
Viktor might be shocked at first. He could feel a strong sense of protectiveness towards Harry. Maybe he immediately tries to comfort Harry and assure him that he's not alone anymore.
Fleur might expose them. If they are students, they could face expulsion from Hogwarts.
