Why this must be read:
Many readers were surprised by the brief pairing of Ron and Lavender (or should I say Won-Won and Lav-Lav?) in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Since the books are told mostly from Harry's point of view, we are not privy to Ron's thoughts or feelings. Of course, he is a teenage boy, so his thoughts and feelings are not that hard to discern.
Angua takes on the difficult challenge of writing a story from Ron's point of view, all the while keeping him a sympathetic character whose actions make perfect sense--in his own mind at least. Angua details what led up to Ron and Lavender snogging in the corner after the Quidditch match. What appears inexplicable when we see things from Harry's viewpoint, comes to be a natural outcome of Ron's thoughts and Lavender's obvious attraction toward him. Ron's cluelessness can be an endearing quality, but not always. Read this story and have a good laugh at his expense. The story is rated PG-13 because Ron is an adolescent male with the accompanying lewd thoughts.

She was smiling at him again.
It was almost enough to keep him awake in Charms class, having Lavender Brown staring at him and smiling every time his head turned in her direction. Almost. When Professor Flitwick lectured instead of setting them to practice charms, he could be almost as boring as Binns had been. Outside the autumn day was crisp and clear – perfect flying weather – but inside, the classroom air was thick with swirling chalk dust and the squeaky rasping of their little professor’s voice.
Ron yawned hugely and stretched. Immediately there was a rustling behind him to his right. From the corner of his eye, he could see Parvati nudging Lavender, and Lavender stifling a giggle behind her hand. He lowered his arms hastily, glancing at his mates to see if they’d noticed anything.
Harry hadn’t. He had stopped copying down random phrases about the theoretical principles of changing water into wine and was now taking the top off his ink bottle and putting it back on over and over again, his eyes glazed with boredom. Beyond Harry, Hermione was still writing. Her small brown hand, clenched tightly around her quill as usual, moved smoothly over the parchment as she steadily filled page after page. Usually Ron could spend an entire class period watching that hand move back and forth, but lately...
"So what if I am? I can have a pen-pal if I—"
Pen-pal? It wasn’t called having a pen-pal when you wrote long huge letters to someone you had snogged. It was called having a –
Ron crossed his arms and leaned back in his seat. He’d warned her that Krum was too old for her, that he was up to no good... And she’d been only fourteen – no, wait, fifteen – anyway, she’d been young and she probably hadn’t wanted... She didn’t know how blokes were, and Krum had probably... He frowned fiercely, thinking of Krum’s big ugly hands all over –
"He's really nice, you know."
Ron snorted out loud. Harry and Hermione didn’t respond, but a glance to his right revealed Lavender looking at him with wide, curious eyes. He gave her an apologetic shrug and she grinned back at him as if they’d just shared a joke.
