“ron and hermione wouldn’t work out they’re too different”

which is exactly wHY THEY WORK OUT FOR FUCK’S SAKE

they’re not just ‘opposites attract’ all right

  • they
  • balance
  • each
  • other
  • out

are we clear

They do balance each other out, but they are also VERY MUCH ALIKE.

1) They are both battle their insecurities. They sometimes do that in different ways. Hermione’s constant study is fueled by her fearful desire that she “hope(s) will be enough”. Ron takes a different route feeling that no matter how hard he were to work that he will never best his siblings.

2) They both are fiercely loyal. What other two friends would have stuck by Harry to the bitter end? We seem them both stand up to others for Harry, for each other, and for people they care about. Even after feeling that Hermione dismissed his feelings over Scabbers, Ron is “snapped out of it” by worrying about Hagrid and Buckbeak’s fate (not to mention his standing up to a lunatic shape-shifting mass murderer on a broken leg to try and save his friend). Even when Hermione is distraught over Lavender she does not even consider wounding Ron with the information that she confunded McLaggen.

3) They are both passionate. They disagree; they bicker; they fume, but that is part of who they are. They challenge each other. They don’t back down, and I for one, think that they love that about each other. Hermione would never want a partner that patronized her or treated her like she could not handle herself. Ron would be miserable with a woman that couldn’t think for herself or who only agreed with everything he said.

4) They are both intelligent.

Not only is Ron intelligent he may be even more naturally so than Hermione (hear me out before you automatically dismiss this idea).Hermione does have natural intelligence, but she does so well in large part because SHE WORKS SO DILIGENTLY!! She reads all of her books BEFORE starting Hogwarts because she wants to be successful. Her top marks are a result of her work ethic.Ron’s intelligence is more instinctual. He does not work as hard as Hermione (perhaps in part because he fells that he cannot impress anyone because his older brothers did it all before him;perhaps he is just an adolescent boy)

I love these two as much as they love each other!! When you read the books carefully it is obvious that are perfectly suited. Movie adaptations and sensationalized soundbites have rocked this ship, but they will never sink it!

Yes !! Excellent addition to my post. Yes. I love this a lot.
