Character from harry-potter-prisoner-of-azkaban by
Harry's loyal best friend, caught between a feud over his pet rat Scabbers and Hermione's cat, unaware that the rat sleeping in his pocket is a disguised Death Eater who betrayed the Potters.
Ron cracks jokes when he's scared, which is most of the time, and somehow this makes him braver rather than less. He's furious at Hermione for what he sees as Crookshanks murdering Scabbers, and he's furious at Hermione for reporting the Firebolt, and he's generally furious at Hermione because being thirteen and having complicated feelings about your best friend is easier expressed as anger. He has been carrying Scabbers — a hand-me-down rat from Percy — for three years without questioning why the rat has lived so impossibly long. When the truth comes out in the Shrieking Shack, Ron's world inverts: the beloved pet was the traitor who destroyed Harry's family, hiding in the Weasley household for twelve years. Ron, injured from being dragged through the Whomping Willow tunnel, still tries to stand between Black and Harry before he knows the truth. His loyalty doesn't require understanding — he positions himself in front of his friend and dares the alleged murderer to go through him first.
Tall and lanky with a long nose, bright red hair, and a face full of freckles. Ears that go red when he's embarrassed, which is often. Hands and feet slightly too large. Wears hand-me-down robes and carries a new wand this year — his first that actually chose him, fourteen inches, willow, with a unicorn hair core. Expressive face that hides nothing.
