She knew it wasn’t easy for him to live in Harry’s shadow, to be overlooked and only known by association. He had been a Quidditch fan his whole life, Harry was made Seeker during their first year without even knowing what Quidditch was. He had helped to try and rescue Ginny, yet the sole credit went to Harry, who had slain the Basilisk. He had looked forward to Care for Magical Creatures because it had genuinely interested him, but it was Harry - who had repeatedly voiced his lack of enthusiasm for the topic - who had ridden a Hippogriff. Ron had been so eager to put his name in the goblet of fire and so disappointed when the rules had been changed, and yet every rule seemed to have been bent so Harry could be a Champion.
