Best 'Ron' Moment
Harry kicked out wildly, trying to push himself back to the surface, but merely propelled himself into the rocky side of the pool. Thrashing, suffocating, he scrabbled at the strangling chain, his frozen fingers unable to loosen it, and now little lights were popping inside his head, and he was going to drown, there was nothing left, nothing he could do, and the arms that closed around his chest were surely Death’s…
Chocking and retching, soaking and colder than he had ever been in his life, he came to facedown in the snow. Somewhere, close by, another person was panting and coughing and staggering around. Hermione had come again, as she had come when the snake attacked…Yet it did not sound like her, not with those deep coughs, nor judging by the weight of the footsteps…
Harry had no strength to lift his head and see his savior’s identity. All he could do was raise a shaking hand to his throat and feel the place where the locket had cut tightly into his flesh. It was gone. Someone had cut him free. Then a panting voice spoke from over his head.
“Are – you – mental?”
Nothing but the shock of hearing that voice could have given Harry the strength to get up. Shivering violently, he staggered to his feet. There before him stood Ron, fully dressed but drenched to the skin, his hair plastered to his face, the sword of Gryffindor in one hand and the Horcrux dangling from its broken chain in the other.

Awww lovely pick! I was sooooo happy Ron was there to save Harry, I got really scared something terrible will happen. And then as they got back... Hermione's reaction was priceless, couldn't help but laugh.
ReplyDeleteGreat choice!
After all that time being gone Ron came through when it mattered. I love that scene. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteFantastic pick ^^ It was lucky that Ron showed up when he did, otherwise Harry would have been a goner! I love that Ron never thought twice, just dived into the icy water and hauled Harry out! Ron is always sacrificing himself for Harry and that's the true mark of a best friend!
ReplyDeleteThe moment Ron comes back! I will always love this moment. It was heart-wrenching to see him leave, but to see him come back was a day of much rejoicing and happy tears. I love how he does it too. Not only does Ron come back but he comes back just in time to save Harry's life.
ReplyDeleteRon returned at EXACTLY the perfect moment! Harry had such a close call there. After being affected so badly by the locket, I was glad that Ron was the one who got to destroy it!
ReplyDelete*Shivers*. Such an absolutely perfect moment! I love that he returns; that he just can't leave his two best friends and that he once again shows his bravery.
