ron vc: haha what

pig because fawkes is Too Good, Too Pure to fight such a smol walnut. and it’s less a fight and more. . .pig getting far too excited and flopping fawkes over the head before fawkes taking pig under his metaphorical wing.

( now pig vs hedwig is more likely. . . and fawkes wins that one because he puts a stop to it like the good bird mentor he is )

one little girl ( a transfer ) with dirty blonde hair wandered over to where harry was ( hiding from the harry hunt, probably ) and offered to play. she went home, talked to her parents about the nice boy with the funny hair. her first friend at a new school, her parents were thrilled. 

on privet drive a conversation on the same interaction took place, cast in an entirely different light. dudley took to reporting back about harry’s behaviors ( at times pointing at fresh bruises to state that was after a rather good chase ), quick to pick up on the attention given to the other when it came to matters out of their control. they wanted to know if he did anything odd, and his making any friend was definitely out of the ordinary. ( it infuriates them, of course. harry isn’t supposed to talk to other children at school, it reflects poorly on the dursleys ). 

the girl didn’t mind the other kids rallying behind dudley’s teasing. and her parents did their part - trying to pin down a cagey petunia at school pick-ups, and finally getting her on the phone after a few weeks of losing connection. there’s an attempt to set-up a playdate, it’s rebuffed. 

he’s troubled, petunia says. only safe around other children in moderation. seeing someone, the very best in child psychology - vernon chimes from the other room. they recount the issues of his parents, how difficult it is to remind dudley how loved he is while the other takes up so much of their energy and attention. maybe when things get sorted with him, but the way she slams the phone down tells harry she didn’t mean that one bit. 

ron’s outnumbered. he doesn’t know if ron realizes he’s outnumbered, but percy sees it. it’s all happening so fast, and percy feels the fear tense in his chest. “ron,” he shouts, hurrying toward his younger brother. he should send a curse, a hex, anything, but his body’s on autopilot and he runs. “ron!” barely seconds pass, but percy grabs ron by the back of his shirt and throws him down just as the glow of a spell reaches them --

percy’s never been comfortable on a broom, but it’s tradition to play quidditch on sundays during the summer. he’s fifteen and riding high--he got his prefect’s badge, and ron’s already got his acceptance into hogwarts. today he’s playing the role of chaser, but he’s not very good at it, letting his brothers whirl around him...

and then he sees fred snicker and aim the bat at ron, who’s barely old enough to even be flying on a broom. perhaps fred thinks it’s funny, but percy finds no joy in the action. he’s racing toward ron as fast as he can. “ron!” and the bludger hits him instead, knocking him right off the broom, sending him crashing into the ground below. percy lets out a cough of pain and curls into himself--he’s cracked something, because he only feels pain every time he tries to breathe. he can hear the twins laughing, while bill and charlie jump off their brooms to check if he’s all right. he waves them aside and reaches for his glasses--they flew off during the fall. “you -- idiots,” he calls out to fred and george, struggling to sit up. “you could have really HURT RON!” he’s livid, truly. they’re supposed to protect their younger siblings, not let them get hurt... 

She had worn it like a badge of nonexistent pride. The ‘Potter Stinks’ badges, by no mean her idea and yet she had jumped on the bandwagon. Convinced that this decision was her own, product of her own frustrations at her house being overlooked time & time again. But perhaps there was more to it than that, perhaps it was her following the crowd as usual as it seemed that everyone was slowly turning their backs on Harry Potter.

RANDOM SENTENCE STARTERS // MEME@aitchthree

“   honestly, ronald ...   ”   she replied with an amused huff. shaking her head, she tried her hardest to suppress the smile curling its way onto chapped lips. hermione most definitely found humor in this situation, though the last thing she’d ever admit to ron was that he was a blessing for something as minor as this.   “   you took the trash out of the tent once, that doesn’t make you the next hero of all that is high && mighty !!   ”    being on the run sounded a lot cooler than it really was. no female in their right mind wanted to share a tent for months on end with two blokes.
