Even though this story is "smut", I prefer reading stories that have less flawed logic.
Basically, they're all treating Ron like shit...his own sister even. But Harry feels it is okay because Hermione says so (as he told her it was her choice).
Thank Merlin friendship isn't important eh?

Flawed logic?
I mean yes, I agree Ron is being treated like shite...however he is treating Hermione like a common slag instead of his best friend of 5 years. He is an idiot at this point and doesn't deserve her. Hermione just hasn't realized it yet.
His sister is into Hermione as well and knows he is being a prat. Maybe its crappy on all there parts but they are horny teenagers. They can't be expected to make perfect choices.
Friendship...true friendship is important. Ron however is a selfish jealous git who turns on Harry at the drop of a hat. He is not a true friend. He has the potential though.
That said, Ron always comes around once he realizes he was wrong.
Are you a R/Hr shipper then? Because if so this is the wrong story for you. Ron gets his own girl eventually and realizes what an insensitive git he was to Hermione and is able to forgive them even though as you say, they were really treating him like shite behind his back.
Honestly though! They keep inviting him to join them even after he knows some of what is going on! If he would have just been there to get all hot and bothered with Hermione instead of being lazy he would have gotten it on with her inistead of Harry.
Guess I can't say enough about it :) Unfortunately thats just how I feel about any Ron/Hermione relationship. Unless it is explained and done really well how they finally ended up together.
Even the Ron who whispers in her ear about "I like it when you get flustered" or some such is cute but not a long term relationship material.
Ron has to grow up first, he and Hermione should date until she figures out he is still too immature for her. Then after the break up maybe he has another girl to train him better while he grows up. Hermione might then date Harry or not...if she did I can't see why they wouldn't stay together.
After Ron has been shown to grow up in text, only then do I see him having a chance with her. What they do is not fight like an old married couple.
They fight like oil and water and Harry is the egg.
