ron: so charlie
ron: we have this whole
ron: “illegal dragon”
ron: situation on our hands
ron: i was just wondering if-
charlie: [shows up at the window] you rang?
ron: holy shit i didn’t even finish writing the damn letter
My favorite thing ever is how Ron just sent Charlie a random letter like “hey yo there’s an illegal dragon at hogwarts, could you come and smuggle it out of here, please?” and Charlie was just like “yeah sure, I’ll trespass into the castle and steal a dangerous magical creature, of course, lemme just hit up my friends”
It’s better if you imagine Charlie and co as a group of Grad Students trying to avoid their other responsibilities.
2. Because he’d do anything for his friends. Like literally he’d walk through hell for them.
3. Because he’s a chess prodigy. Dude beat a puzzle design to stump a highly intelligent adult at age eleven
Reblog and add on
4. He realizes he does shitty things and tries his best to make amend, that’s a huge thing for a teenager
5. Because he’s compassionate when it counts.
6. Because he got over a prejudice he had against house elves and remembered them even when Hermione forgot.
7. Because he offered himself up without hesitation to spare Hermione.
8. Because he had the courage to walk into the Yule Ball, in front of hundreds, in ridiculous outfit.
9. Because he’s funny and knows when to lighten up the mood.
10. Because he came back after he left.
11. He took over the studying for Buckbeak’s trial because he felt guilty about his fight with Hermione and she was taking too much on.
12. He opened up his family to Harry even though he already felt inferior.
13. Because he cared about how the house elves would feel if they were tricked into picking up clothes.
14. He sacrificed himself to a chess game when he was 11.
15. When he came back he took on the planning and was a source of encouragement for Harry and Hermione.
16. He continued to fight even after he believed his best friend was dead.
17. “HE BEAT YOU!”
18. “If you want to kill Harry you’ll have to kill us too.”
19. He leaped to his friends’ defence every time they needed him to, no matter how angry he was at them at the time. Every. Damn. Time.
20. He also overcame his prejudice towards werewolves in a very short time, volunteering to tie himself to Pettigrew and Lupin
21. Thought it was weird his best friend wasn’t answering his letters, knew he lived in an abusive home, and asked his brothers to help rescue him in an illegal flying car
22. He’s usually the first in line to support Harry in everything, even if it means extreme danger (”We’re with you whatever happens”)
23. Pushed Harry out of the way when he thought Padfoot was going to jump at Harry, getting himself dragged and his leg broken and he never complained about it
24. Made an effort to be the person Hermione would want to be with and he meant every gesture
25. Knows when his friends are overwhelmed and tries to lighten the mood to make them feel better
*cries* A list that isn’t made out of points why people think he sucks, but why he’s kinda awesome instead.
shoutout to george, fred, and especially ron weasley for realizing that harry was stuck in abusive and unhealthy household and, in spite of the massive trouble they knew they could get in, taking immediate steps to personally see him removed from that environment, something no adult in harry’s life did.
