Once again proving that Hermione doesn’t understand Harry’s emotional needs as well as Ron does. Ron helps Harry unwind and de-stress himself in his own way. Hermione can put it down to ‘boys’ all she likes, but all it does is prove that she really doesn’t understand the situation.
Sorry, I know this seems like I’m coming across as very anti-Hermione (which wasn’t my intention), but scenes like this make it very clear to me why Harry and Hermione never became a couple. They genuinely don’t understand what the other needs emotionally. Ron, on the other hand, is far better at it. Which is why I prefer Romione (and, to a lesser extent, Rarry/Harron) over Harmione.
“Your Wheezy, sir, your Wheezy — Wheezy who is giving Dobby his jumper!” Dobby plucked at the shrunken maroon sweater he was now wearing over his shorts. “What?” Harry gasped. “They’ve got… they’ve got Ron?” “The thing Harry Potter will miss most, sir!” squeaked Dobby.
Coworkers re-ignighted my HP flame months ago and every now and then I get a hankering for a good fic or art or pretty much anything. Also, the new movie coming out pretty much threw fuel on that fire.
that ron bravado™️ being exuded by rupert in last gif is one of the few times we see that side of ron within the movies and I need more right this instant
AU in which Ron has to get the last, most ragged secondhand copy of Advanced Potion Making from Flourish and Blott’s (typical, why is everything he owns such rubbish), but then it’s Snape’s copy and Ron gets to be the potions prodigy for the year.
I need this au ASAP
Ron letting Harry copy off him because Ron is a sweetie and sharing is caring
Ron telling Hermione that she’s welcome to read the book too if she’s so angry about him “cheating”
Ron contemplating using the Felix Felicis he’s won the night of Slughorn’s Party because he’s so goddamn scared about his date with Hermione, he’s so sure he’s going to mess it all up
Ron testing Sectumsempra on a piece of parchment and when it leaves a deep indentation in the table he says “ok you know what we’re not gonna use that spell”
Ron hesitating between keeping the book and burning it once he learns that Snape is the one who wrote in it (he keeps it because he figures out that using Snape’s methods against their creator and the Death Eaters is the greatest karmic justice ever)
Colin: So, Ginny, pardon my confusion, but…are Harry and Ron a couple?
Ginny: What? No; they’re best mates! I’m the Weasley who’s dating Harry!
Colin: Really?
Ginny: Why is this so difficult to believe?
Colin: (points to Harry and Ron nearby)
Harry: (has his head in Ron’s lap)
Ron: (stoking Harry’s hair while they talk)
Ginny: …
Ginny: (to Colin) Okay, you might have a point…
