Poor Ron...

I like Ron Weasley. I don't really get the fandom hate for him. And I think the later books and the movies did him a great disservice by emphasising his role as comic relief. In later books he never gets a chance to shine, like he does in Prisoner of Azkaban. Where he stands on a broken leg to get between Harry and Sirius (when they still though Sirius was an evil mass murderer) and if he does something good. like excel at keeping or rally the group's horcrux hunt it happens entirely off page or is glossed over in a couple of paragraphs.

On the other hand... gosh darn is it easy to write him into the role of the guy asking questions for exposition and have be jealous for conflict and so forth. I keep falling into using him that way instead of doing better for him.

Yes this is a covert smutty_claus post. And its coming along. I did lots today. And by lots i mean, I typed out the stuff I wrote in my notebook last weekend. Still, I'm still feeling upbeat about this one.
