"Harry dragged me out into the Forbidden Forest to talk to a nest of Acromantula. Hagrid said if we wanted information to follow the spiders. We almost got eaten, if it hadn't been for Dad's car, we'd be dead," Ron explained, with a full body shudder. He still had nightmares about that night. His fear of spiders was very strong. He deserved a bloody award for that alone.
"If Hagrid is the one who directed you there, how is that Harry's fault?" George asked curiously, causing his little brother to glare at him.
"Forth, if you hadn't flown the car and broken your wand then that cave in might not have happened, granted you'd be dead, but again you volunteered to go after Ginny," Fred pointed to the forth finger.
"Now I have no idea why Black was after you, those are his actions not Harry's," George finished, waving it away as he lowered his hands.
"Of course your taking his side, everyone always does," Ron snarled as he sat back on the bed and folded his arms mulishly.
"When has everyone taken Harry's side?" Fred started, looking very confused.
"In first year, when he lost all those points and the whole house turned on him?" George asked, just as confused.
"Ruddy dragon," Ron mumbled, rubbing his hand where that stupid baby dragon bit him.
"In second year when they thought he was the Heir of Slytherin?" Fred said, remembering the great time they had yelling in the halls, but also acknowledging that it had been a very bad year for Harry.
"Which you stood up with him for," the youngest pointed out.
"Because we knew he wasn't," they both snapped back.
"Now third year I have to admit the school didn't turn their backs on him, but they didn't ruddy well have his back either," George said, thinking the year over to see if there was a time the school shunned Harry and coming up blank.
"And last, but surely not least, this year when the whole school is calling him a liar and a cheat? So tell us Ron, when was this standing up going on?" Fred asked, looking to his younger brother.
"You don't know Harry like I do," Ron protested, holding up his hands defensively. "He is always in trouble and he always seems to get out of it. After all of his 'adventures' he gets points, or awards, and stuff. I got a crummy fifty points first year, while he got sixty, how is that fair?"
"If what I am told is correct, then he faced You-Know-Who. He should have gotten the House cup named after him," George retorted, not liking this side of his baby brother. He had no idea that his jealousy went this far.
"He saved our sister's life," Fred said softly as if that should stop the whole argument.
"And he got an award for it," Ron said snidely. "I was there too, you know? All I got was a pat on the head and a lolly."
"No, you got over a hundred points for the Chamber incident, which all you did was stand around with Lockhart," Fred snarled. He couldn't believe the stuff coming out of Ron's mouth. He thought that his little brother enjoyed all the 'adventures' he and Harry had gone on. They heard about it every summer, while Ron bragged about all his heroic deeds.
"That's it, we're done talking to you," George said, grabbing his twin's robe. "We'll leave this to Mum and Dad," he finished as he pulled open the door.
"You need help," Fred said, pointing a finger at Ron as he was pushed out the door.
Ron just fell back on the bed and pouted; now he was going to have to listen to his dad lecture and his mum yell and it was all Potter's fault.
