Ron was a good kid.

[dadstielkline]

you don't like ron because you think he bullied hermione so instead you ship her with draco who canonically called her slurs and wished she would die.

you think ron doesn't appreciate hermione's intelligence so you ship her with snape her literal teacher who called her an insufferable know it all and takes points when she answers questions.

you think ron is abusive to hermione so you ship her with bellatrix the woman who literally abused and scarred her or even worse voldemort a man who literally wanted her kind dead.

you think ron made of hermione so you ship her with fred and george who canonically made fun of her for being a no fun rule follower.

you think ron and hermione are like brother and sister so you ship her with harry who literally said she was like a sister to him.

you think ron made Hermione cry too much so you ship her with draco, harry, snape, bellatrix, fred, george, etc all people who have made hermione cry because hermione is an emotional character.

i don't want to hear "ron doesn't belong with hermione" ever again.

based on the majority of the fandom's reaction to hermione attacking ron with birds, people would probably be a lot more forgiving if it was hermione who left the horcrux hunt.

if it was hermione who criticised the lack of progress they'd made, many more people would agree with her.

if it was hermione who was worried for her family and thought harry didn't care about them, many more people would sympathize with her.

if it was hermione's departure that caused harry and ron to spiral into weeks of misery, many more people would see her importance to the trio.

if it was hermione who endured the horcrux that constantly tormented her with her worst fears and insecurities, many more people would call her strong.

if it was hermione who returned, apologized, saved harry's life, and destroyed the horcrux, everyone would be calling her a hero instead of bashing her for leaving in the first place.

maybe I'm wrong, because there is no way to tell how people would've reacted. but let's be honest, when has this fandom not taken hermione's side?

ron, normally: don't say you-know-who's name! he's the most powerful dark wizard in history!

ron, when voldemort demeans harry: [rolls up sleeves] i don't need a horcrux to split you in half.

ron, normally: bellatrix lestrange is so scary i would not want to mess with her.

ron, when bellatrix threatens hermione: get your disgusting voldy-worshipping hands off of her ✋

[smallpumpkinboi]

Ron: Harry's so cool, he's the boy who lived, defeated Voldemort, and even Dumbledore's protege! How could I ever be his friend? He's so powerful and famous why would he want to hang out with a nobody like me

Harry, upon seeing Ron: *running to give him a hug* That's him! Thats my Ron! I love him!!

[giuls233]

@thecrazyfan-girl yes I can.

Base off a post by @hermiones-butterbeer that made me laugh SO MUCH

[giuls233]

Here’s today’s first messy doodle I made during class.

It’s from the second book, when Mrs. Weasley came outside to scold Ron and the twins after they stole Harry back from the Dursleys.

Doodling helps me follow along :)

[giuls233]

Could you draw Ron and Percy pre-Hogwarts. In Percy's room. Thanks. Love you, your work is great. Wholesome as fuck.

Thank you I LOVE YOU TOO💗💗💗

Mini Ronnie actually enjoys mini Percys company

I like to think that Ron and Percy would play chess together💗

[giuls233]

I reblogged with this, but putting it your ask box so it’s official. But in response to your doodle where mini-Hermione brings a whole load of whoop-ass to the anons who are Ron-bashing, I think there should be an added scene where all of mini-Ron’s mini-fans give him the ego boost he so very much deserves! They have placards and everything and Harry is their leader!

Please, if you have time that is!

IF YOURE A RON FAN, COMMENT WHY HE IS SO GREAT AND RAISE HIS EGO (lord knows this man needs a confidence booster)!!!!

Ps. R.W.D.S. Is for Ron Weasley Defence Squad. In case you didn’t get it :)

Also please, if you don’t like Ron, simply pass by this post. No fighting or negativity please.

[kingbiliusweasley]

Harry, when Ron wasn't talking to him in GoF: I'm sad. I'm upset. Why would he leave me? I want him back. RON, PLEASE COME BACK TO ME-

Harry, when he wasn't talking to Hermione in PoA: The weather's very nice today, I wonder what we'll do in class?

i think that as a society we should acknowledge that ron weasley is very very handsome🪄

The Harry/Ron fight in GoF from Ron's POV

I think Ron’s tendency toward jealousy/insecurity gets more attention than it deserves in fandom. Meanwhile, his loyalty to Harry (“If you want to kill Harry, you’ll have to kill us too!”) is often tossed aside.

But I want to focus specifically on the fight in GoF. There are two things that I think need to be taken into account when considering Ron’s POV.

1. The timing of the party in the common room.

Harry’s name comes out of the goblet, he turns to Ron/Hermione and says he didn’t put his name in, and then disappears into the chamber off the entrance hall. The rest of the school is then sent back to their dormitories.

Of course, with Harry gone, all of the Gryffindors turns to Harry Potter’s best friends Ron and Hermione to find out how Harry pulled it off. And what do Ron and Hermione know? Absolutely nothing.

I’m guessing Hermione goes upstairs because she’s never liked those parties anyway.

Ron has a choice between remaining in the common room at the party and having to admit over and over that he didn’t know anything about what his best friend had been planning, or going upstairs to the dormitory to wait for Harry there. And since that’s the best place for a private conversation, it makes the most sense anyway.

And at this point, Ron probably assumes that Harry’s going to walk in the door of the portrait hole and make a beeline for the boy’s dormitory so they can speak in private.

Ron thinks Harry will come in and say either “so I’m sorry I didn’t tell you I put my name in the goblet, but I didn’t tell you because __ and I got around the age line by doing __” or “I didn’t put my name in the goblet, here’s my thoughts on what might have happened.”

But Harry doesn’t make a beeline for the dormitory.

This is what happens instead:

The blast of noise that met Harry’s ears when the portrait opened almost knocked him backward. Next thing he knew, he was being wrenched inside the common room by about a dozen pairs of hands, and was facing the whole of Gryffindor House, all of whom were screaming, applauding, and whistling.

[snip]

But nobody wanted to hear that he wasn’t hungry; nobody wanted to hear that he hadn’t put his name in the goblet; not one single person seemed to have noticed that he wasn’t at all in the mood to celebrate… Lee Jordan had unearthed a Gryffindor banner from somewhere, and he insisted on draping it around Harry like a cloak. Harry couldn’t get away; whenever he tried to sidle over to the staircase up to the dormitories, the crowd around him closed ranks, forcing another butterbeer on him, stuffing crisps and peanuts into his hands… Everyone wanted to know how he had done it, how he had tricked Dumbledore’s Age Line and managed to get his name into the goblet…

“I didn’t,” he said, over and over again, “I don’t know how it happened.”

But for all the notice anyone took, he might just as well not have answered at all.

“I’m tired!” he bellowed finally, after nearly half an hour. “No, seriously, George - I’m going to bed -”

There’s no way that Ron didn’t hear the “blast of noise” when Harry came in. But Harry remains downstairs with his admirers for nearly a half hour before he comes upstairs to find Ron. Which gives Ron a half hour to brood about why if Harry didn’t put his name in the goblet, Ron’s upstairs alone with zero information while Harry hangs out with his admirers downstairs.

And things don’t go well when Harry finally does show up.

He [Ron] looked up when Harry slammed the door behind him.

“Where’ve you been?” Harry said.

Since we see the books from Harry’s POV, we know that Harry wasn’t really a voluntary participant in his own party. But Ron doesn’t know this. Harry shows up thirty minutes “late” with a Gryffindor banner tied around his neck and looking like he’s enjoyed spending the last 30 minutes being praised by the entire house.

And then Harry asks “Where’ve you been?” Harry means it as “why weren’t you there for moral support downstairs?” But to Ron, this registers as “Why weren’t you downstairs congratulating me at the party with the others?”

“Oh hello,” said Ron.

He was grinning, but it was a very odd, strained sort of grin. Harry suddenly became aware that he was still wearing the scarlet Gryffindor banner that Lee had tied around him. He hastened to take it off, but it was knotted very tightly. Ron lay on the bed without moving, watching Harry struggle to remove it.

“So,” he said, when Harry had finally removed the banner and thrown it into a corner. “Congratulations.”

“What d'you mean, congratulations?” said Harry, staring at Ron. There was definitely something wrong with the way Ron was smiling: It was more like a grimace.

“Well… no one else got across the Age Line,“ said Ron. "Not even Fred and George. What did you use - the Invisibility Cloak?”

“The Invisibility Cloak wouldn’t have got me over that line,” said Harry slowly.

“Oh right,” said Ron. “I thought you might’ve told me if it was the cloak… because it would’ve covered both of us, wouldn’t it? But you found another way, did you?”

Ron’s first question is how Harry pulled it off. The secret of the invisibility cloak is shared between Harry/Hermione/Ron, and if Harry says, “Yes, I used the cloak,” then the bond between Harry and Ron is somewhat repaired because this becomes another trio secret. 

But when Harry instantly rejects the cloak, Ron suggests that Harry “must have found another way.” In other words, he now believes Harry went off on his own to figure it out and chose not to let Ron in on what he was doing.

“Listen,” said Harry, “I didn’t put my name in that goblet. Someone else must’ve done it.”

Ron raised his eyebrows.

“What would they do that for?”

“I dunno,” said Harry. He felt it would sound very melodramatic to say, “to kill me.”

Note that when Ron asks why someone else would put his name in, Harry doesn’t actually say the “to kill me” part out loud. Which makes his defense seem pretty weak.

Ron’s eyebrows rose so high that they were in danger of disappearing into his hair.

“It’s okay, you know, you can tell me the truth,” he said. 

The italics are JKR’s, not mine. Ron (rightly) sees himself as deserving of the truth, even if everyone else is fed the public story or no story at all. And the fact that Harry appears to be putting Ron on the same level as, say, the twins, is pretty hurtful.

“If you don’t want everyone else to know, fine, but I don’t know why you’re bothering to lie, you didn’t get into trouble for it, did you? That friend of the Fat Lady’s, that Violet, she’s already told us all Dumbledore’s letting you enter. A thousand Galleons prize money, eh? And you don’t have to do end-of-year tests either…”

“I didn’t put my name in that goblet!” said Harry, starting to feel angry.

“Yeah, okay,” said Ron, in exactly the same skeptical tone as Cedric. “Only you said this morning you’d have done it last night, and no one would’ve seen you… I’m not stupid, you know.”

“You’re doing a really good impression of it,” Harry snapped.

“Yeah?” said Ron, and there was no trace of a grin, forced or otherwise, on his face now. “You want to get to bed, Harry. I expect you’ll need to be up early tomorrow for a photo-call or something.”

I think that Ron should have trusted Harry, however I can understand why he would feel upset and as though his best friend was cutting him out of the loop.

2. Ron/Hermione/Harry’s friendship dynamic

So in the first three books, Harry was sharing pretty much everything with Ron and Hermione, and even though they might not make it to the final confrontations, they’re there for nearly every step of the way.

Harry asks a lot of his friends, and Ron/Hermione give him a lot of their attention/energy. They’re basically his 24/7 support team. When Harry gets on the Quidditch team, they’re cheering him in the stands. When Harry is upset about his murderous godfather, they’re talking him off the ledge. When Harry isn’t responding to letters, they fret and Ron rescues him. Harry’s problems/worries become the trio’s problems/worries.

By the time GoF starts, Ron has spent 3 years giving this to his best friend. And yet he gives his time/energy willingly because he cares for Harry and knows that’s what best friends are for.

But then Harry’s name comes out of the Goblet of Fire. Ron said that he genuinely believed that Harry had put his name in. We readers are privileged because we see into Harry’s head, but Ron doesn’t have that level of insight.

He’s hurt that Harry didn’t bother confiding his plans, and feels like Harry sees him more as a sidekick than a friend with whom he has an honest/equal relationship.

Ron saw it as Harry decides to enter his name for a bit of a rush and another adventure, and now Ron and Hermione get to spend 9 months worrying about Harry and dealing with Harry’s stress and staying up late helping Harry practice.  Which is, after all, exactly Ron and Hermione do in GoF. The only difference is that we know that Harry didn’t put his name in.

TL;DR: 30 minutes is a long time to sit and brood about whether or not your best friend (who you’ve devoted a lot of energy to) sees you as a sidekick or legitimate confidant.
