Ron Weasley - 3/4lijororliMarch 1 2010, 05:24:41 UTC
Weaknesses: - He’s lazy.- If Ron didn’t have friends as encouraging as Harry and Hermione, it’s unlikely he would have passed as many classes as he had, or even done as much as he had in regards to attempting to stop Voldemort. He doesn’t apply himself to the best of his abilities unless it’s a matter of life and death. He’s so laidback that Hermione is often on his back to motivate him, which is one of the reasons they argue so much. - He tends to take things at face value and doesn’t like the unfamiliar.- There are exceptions to this, of course, but Ron generally likes sticking to what he knows, such as certain beliefs, suppositions, and situations. The Malfoys are evil bastards. He and Hermione are just friends. Snape is a git. Family always sticks together. If any of these standard ideas prove wrong, he is often flustered and has no idea how to react, save perhaps with crankiness or sarcasm. A clear example of this was when his brother Percy broke away from the family during a rather tumultuous time and wrote Ron a letter to warn him against making the same “mistakes” their parents did; Ron ignored the letter, angrily tearing it up and refusing to acknowledge Percy’s existence. - He is extremely insecure.- Being the youngest boy in a large family means that Ron had to endure a lot of teasing, and even his younger sister Ginny grew up to have a sharp tongue. His grades are average, his athletic ability is average, and his appearance is average. Not only that, but his best friend is one of the most famous wizards in the world and the girl he’s harbored a crush on for years is the most brilliant person he knows and has dated a celebrity athlete. In his mind, Ron has the misfortune of being absolutely mediocre and thus usually invisible, which explains his sometimes sullen disposition and his often hurtful sense of humor. - He’s quick to anger.- Insult his friends, and be prepared for a verbal lashing. Insult his family, and you will end up bleeding if there’s no one around to stop him. Partially due to his own insecurity but also resulting from his rather passionate nature, Ron will gladly rage at anyone who tries to make life difficult for anyone he cares about, often resulting in him getting into some sort of trouble. - He is his own worst enemy.- As stated, the two people Ron is closest to are shining role models to any young witch or wizard who knows them. Compared to them, he considers himself weak, slow, clumsy, and stupid. This is partially why he loses his temper so easily; any insult towards his friends is an insult to the kind of person he aspires to be, and any insult to himself is a vocalization of his own fears. Left to his own devices too long, he’ll let his own self-doubt trip him up. If his irregular performance as a Keeper for the Gryffindor Quidditch team isn’t proof of this, then it can certainly be said that the Horcrux he wore around his neck picked up on this flaw and exploited it in a nearly-successful attempt to turn Ron against his friends.

Samples First Person: [Audio] [A groan can be heard as a new arrival is slowly waking up. After a moment during which one can assume he’s getting his bearings straight, he finally speaks up in a low murmur.]
Why’m I so cold? It shouldn’t be this-…. Bellatrix! Hermione? Hermione, where are you? …Hermione!
[Scrambling to his feet, he apparently kicks the journal besides him.]
Eh? What’s this? Last bloody thing I need is another one of Riddle’s childhood diaries at my heels.
[There’s a pause and the muffled sound of pages being flipped.]
Huh…no writing. Not even a name. And no mention of, ‘Dear Diary, today I went completely mental and decided to kill every Muggle-born I can get my hands on,’ so I suppose that’s good. Unless it’s another Horcrux that’s gonna have a go at making me mental. Because that was loads of fun, being angry and irritated and stupid and alone…. Where’s Gryffindor’s sword now that I need it?
[And have one more, longer pause. ]
Hermione! Harry! Hell, Dobby… where did you lot go?!
Third Person: Ron doesn’t generally panic in the face of a crisis. And let’s face it: everything he’s been through that night could be counted as one continuous crisis. He and his friends had been picked up by Snatchers, they’d been dragged to Malfoy Manor, he’d been thrown in a bloody dungeon and forced to listen to Hermione get brutally tortured for what seemed like hours to his frazzled mind, and by the time he and Harry finally managed to come to her rescue, he felt a stab of fear at seeing her unconscious state. At least, he hoped and prayed that she was just unconscious. If she was d-
But no, he wasn’t going to allow himself to think about that.
He’d woken up someplace that was most definitely not Shell Cottage, his intended destination. His clothes and wand were missing, and so was Hermione. If she’d been abducted by Death Eaters, her captors wouldn’t have gone through the trouble of providing him with white trousers before leaving him in the middle of nowhere. So it was entirely possible that Hermione was very much alive, and she had gotten up, taken his wand for protection, and gone to look for help while he’d somehow blacked out after Apparating her out of the manor.
Of course, that didn’t account for his missing clothes or the blank journal without so much as a short message written inside or why she wouldn’t have used magic to take him along with her. Nor did it explain the strange discomfort Ron felt when he leaned heavily against a tree, trying to get his bearings straight. It felt almost as though he was constricting some kind of appendage on his back, but that was ridiculous - what did he expect to have back there, wings?
He was starting to feel a small smidge of panic welling up. He hadn’t seen any footprints that could have been Hermione’s or anyone else’s, so it was likely that he’d somehow been magicked off on his own. Maybe he didn’t get the chance to Apparate? Maybe an unknown Death Eater had joined in the fray at the manor and had banished him to some… some…. Where the hell was this place, anyway?!
“Bloody hell,” Ron whined lowly, his blue eyes desperately searching the surrounding area for signs of Hermione or Harry or civilization or anything besides dark and forbidding woodland. He didn’t know where he was, or if Hermione was all right, nor if Harry was still at the manor, and he didn’t even have a wand. “This is a right mess I’ve found myself in.”
