Poem on Ronald Bilius Weasley, my favourite character from the Harry Potter series. Here is the content:
I am a Potterhead
And every Potterhead has a character
Whom s/he will defend
Till his/her last breath
For me, it’s Ron Weasley
He is Harry Potter’s best friend
Sacrifices himself in a real game of wizard chess
At the age of twelve
Merely a year later
Ron, whose worst fear is spiders
Heads into the Forbidden Forest with Harry
A malfunctioning wand and a rather timid dog
Being his only means of protection
And bravely faces an army of giant spiders
Nearly dying in the attempt
In his third year at Hogwarts
Ron, having already broken his leg
Stands up to Sirius Black
Considered a mass murderer then
Just for the sake of his best mate
Coming to the fourth year
There are a lot of fans
Who jump on Ron’s supposed jealousy
When Harry was chosen as a Triwizard Champion
You are all wrong
Ron was not jealous
It was all a misunderstanding
And a stupid one at that
When Draco Malfoy and his cronies poke fun at Harry
Ron doesn’t join them
On one particular night
When Harry is out
Ron actually shows concern for him
By sacrificing some precious sleep
In order to wait for him to return
Something that Harry misunderstands as “being nosy”
And throws a badge at him
To which Ron doesn’t react at all
Had it been me, I would have hit Harry in retaliation
But Ron doesn’t
In fact, the very next day
Ron tries to catch Harry’s eye
On a number of occasions
Are all these signs of a jealous person?
I think not
After the first Triwizard task
Where Harry bravely faces off
Against the deadliest dragon imaginable
Ron’s face is white with fear
Which means he was genuinely afraid
Of losing his best friend, forever
The misunderstanding is cleared up
Quicker than one can say “friendship”
Harry doesn’t even need an apology
Their friendship is so natural
In Ron’s fifth year
Harry loses his temper with him
On a number of occasions
But Ron patiently puts up with him
Because that’s what best mates do
Coming to the second wizarding war
Again, there are a number of fans
Who jump on Ron’s “jealousy”
Which led him to abandon his friends
Right in the middle of a difficult and dangerous mission
Yes, what he did was wrong
But again, it was a case of insecurities, not jealousy
What would you do
If you are involved in a dangerous mission
Where the leader doesn’t have a concrete plan
And you have absolutely no news of your family
Whom you have left to fend for themselves
So that you can save the world?
It is enough to drive anyone mad
And remember, on top of that
Ron was carrying a piece of Voldemort’s soul
Yes, the soul of the evillest wizard ever to have existed
Anyway, Ron ultimately returns
And saves Harry’s life as well
In fact, he would have returned sooner
Had he not run into a couple of Snatchers
Almost immediately after leaving
What’s more, Ron later shows leadership skills
Continuously motivating his friends during the endless Horcrux hunt
While Harry, the actual leader
Becomes obsessed with the Deathly Hallows instead
And it doesn’t end here
After the Battle of Hogwarts
When Harry is playing dead
Ron stands up to Voldemort himself
So, for all those haters of Ron
I have only one thing to say
“Weasley Is Our King”
Note: “Weasley Is Our King” is the name of the song originally made by the Slytherins to mock Ron’s skills as a Quidditch Keeper in the book “Harry Potter And The Order of The Phoenix”. Later the Gryffindors recreate the song in a positive way to praise Ron; after his brilliant performance in the final match of the season, against Ravenclaw.
