we need to talk about Ron in Prisoner of Azkaban
- imagine all the secrets he told Scabbers
- his good pet Scabbers who was always there
- listened to him when spoke about his doubts
- his fears
- how he was worried he’d never live up to his brothers
- they were all amazing
- made their parents proud
- but what about him??? what could he do???
- the love that a young boy had for a simple old pet
- then he finds out that his rat was involved in the murder of his best friend’s parents
- he was never a garden rat
- but an aid to the death of lily and james potter
- imagine how he felt at that moment
- sure deep down he knew he couldn’t have known
- it wasn’t his fault
- but that initial guilt
- for years he had looked after and shared his secrets with peter pettigrew
- a villain in hiding
- did he feel like he couldn’t look Harry in the eye
- ever put into words how sorry he was
- Harry was going through unimaginable pain
- but surely, Ron was, too
