He wanted to give Ron that attention. He wanted to laugh at Ron’s jokes, he wanted to get in trouble getting too close to the Whomping Willow, he wanted to catch Gnomes in the backyard of the Burrow while Mrs. Weasley yelled at the twins for putting U-No-Poo in Percy’s tea. He wanted to be the Seeker to Ron’s Keeper. He wanted to be an Auror with him. He wanted to go on adventures and maybe end up working back at the office when things got too dangerous, getting in trouble with Ginny for staying at the pub too late.
