How did you get away? Puking Pastilles, it wasn’t pretty.

bonus: 

“The door of the compartment slid open and the youngest redheaded boy came in.‘Anyone sitting there?’ he asked,pointing at the seat opposite Harry.‘Everywhere else is full.‘Harry shook his head and the boy sat down.He glanced at Harry and then looked quickly out of the window,pretending he hadn’t looked.“

OMG GUYS THAT WAS ONE TIME

I feel like Ron side-eyes Harry a lot. Like, “Oh my gosh, mate, you set a python on your cousin? Remind me not to get on your bad side. Geez, you blew up your aunt? What the halibut, Harry? Your godfather is an escaped convict and you put your name in the Goblet of Fire and you’re deliberatly messing with Umbridge and you literally killed a professor in First Year and you can see the invisible freaky horses and you want us to do what now with the werewolf who is our professor and you’re supposed to single-handedly kill You-Know-Who? Harry. Harry.”

happy birthday ron weasley

                             ❝ don’t let the muggles get you down ❞

“I’m the sixth in our family to go to Hogwarts. You could say I got a lot to live up to.”

When Ron, frustrated with studying for NEWTs and with Hermione’s anxious sixth-year nagging, explains to her what reading is like for him, Hermione’s breath catches. “Ron, you’re dyslexic,” she says, softly, and instantly regrets every snide comment she’s ever made towards his study habits. 

Soon, by asking around, Hermione amasses a list of spells for Ron to try - some stilling the page, some changing the font of books for easy reading, some going after Ron’s temporal lobe directly. 

These help, a little, but not as much as knowing there’s a word for why reading is so hard for him. That it’s normal, that he’s not stupid, and that Hermione suddenly helps instead of criticizes, looks for solutions rather than complains, praises instead of gloats. 

!!! Oh

#listen tho what if #muggles are terrible about disabilities#but wizards are even worse#they don’t even have the terminology that muggles do#it’s all ‘kinda loony’ or “just dim’ or (most often) ‘not a talented witch/wizard’#and ofc ~everyone knows~ that all illnesses can be cured with magic#(except for some magical illnesses that can’t be cured at all)#but as ron talks more with hermione and other muggleborns#and researches the spells hermione gets him#and realizes that most of the spell creators probably also had dyslexia but had no word for it#he realizes that what ‘everyone knows’ isn’t true at all#after abt a year of this he talks to mcgonagall abt changing his career goals#goes into healing with a concentration on research#and a secret concentration on finding out what muggles know and bringing it into the wizarding world#(his dad is so proud of him and prolly helps out a lot too)

this paragraph is better than anything jk ever wrote about grown ron

You’ve got to make some sacrifices! I take one step forward and she’ll take me - that leaves you free to checkmate the king, Harry!
