the pair can't be any more insufferable together than they are currently
A couple who could use restraining orders before their relationship starts must be some sort of record even at Hogwarts, home of ill-considered teen marriages.
Ron, meanwhile, suffers from that old favourite, "lack of confidence"
What's the deal with Ron and Quidditch, anyway? He's not enjoying it. He performs badly under pressure, i.e. whenever Harry isn't tricking him into feeling confident. Yet quitting is unthinkable. That brutal and inane rich man's game is just that important.
Ron is indignant that anyone might dare to defile his precious sister. Ginny, for her part, accuses Ron of only ever having been kissed by their Auntie Muriel
Essence of Weasley: Men= reactionaries with Madonna/Whore notions Women= emasculating shrews Both sexes: toxic tempers, like to air their dirty linen very loudly in front of other people. Ideal family? Of course! Being human and flawed just makes them more lovable!
This whole chapter certainly shows why Ginny is the perfect girl for Harry. Open-mindedness, empathy, kindness, compassion – can't allow Harry to develop any of those. He's got a war to win.
