I actually can’t think of any fics like that. However, I do have a fic in the pipeline about that very topic. I can tag you in the post when I publish it, if you like?
Thanks for the ask, @warriorlid14! Sorry it took so long for me to respond.
@ronandhappiness Nothing’s wrong with Lavender. The problem I have is with the way JK Rowling framed Lavender and Ron’s relationship within the narrative.
In my opinion, JK Rowling had a really messed-up idea about Lavender’s characterisation, and it effected the way she framed the Lavender/Ron relationship in HBP. I’ve discussed this before with mutuals, but Rowling does seem to have a problem with ‘girly’ girls. Lavender gets a pretty raw deal from Rowling just because she engages in activities considered traditionally-feminine. Since Rowling has more respect for Luna as a character, a possible relationship between Luna and Ron would be treated with more respect. It would be less framed as ‘two teenagers snogging in the broom cupboard’ and more ‘two people who appreciate and support each-other’. At least, that’s what I think.
It would also be more of a lesson for Hermione about being more appreciative of Ron. Luna’s way of appreciating Ron was the direct opposite of Hermione; based more on unabashedly showing her appreciation for Ron, and less on ‘I can’t show Ron how much I like, otherwise he’ll suspect I fancy him’.
Hope that helps clear up my thoughts on the matter. 🙂
Harry: We need someone to fill in for Hermione.
Neville: I think Ron’s already filling Hermione.
Neville and Ginny: [snicker and high five]
“Listen to the idiot. He’s really laying it on thick, isn’t he?”
OK, but they both have two very different motivations here. Ron is doing this to impress a girl, ie: Hermione. Draco is doing this because he’s a slimy little rotten brat who wants to get Hagrid fired. (Yeah, he’s still a kid, obviously, but that doesn’t excuse his behavior.) Two different reasons for why they’re milking they’re injuries. Also, Draco had already been healed by Madam Pomfrey at this point, he was just milking it unnecessarily for extra attention. AND book Ron had literally jumped up onto his broken leg to defend Harry.
it’s second best only to the scene where ron punches draco in the face.
Stop gibbering, we’ve come to take you home with us.
Ron Weasley to Harry in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, a.k.a. the sort of moment I cry about on a daily basis bc Ron JUST GAVE HARRY A HOME, just told him, with no second thoughts or hesitations, that since Privet Drive was no home to Harry he could come home with them, bc THEY WERE HIS HOME, THE WEASLEYS WERE HIS HOME, and it didn’t matter if their home was overflowing already, it didn’t matter if it took flying illegally to Surrey to do so, Harry was GOING to get the home and family he deserved whatever happened, no questions asked, RONALD BILIUS WEASLEY IS THE BEST FRIEND YOU COULD EVER HOPE TO HAVE, I don’t care what anyone else says, good day.
