Four Chances Ron Missed And The One He Didn't
The Yule Ball
Ron could've invited Hermione to the Ball. He could have, he should have, but he didn't. He still didn't recognize the strange feelings he had for her. By the time he realized that he loved her, that git Krum had already asked her.
Emotional Range of a Teaspoon
He could've told her he loved her when they were laughing in the Common Room, after Harry kissed Cho. No, he missed that chance too.
I Love You, Hermione
He could've told her everything when he blurted out that sentence in their sixth year. He didn't, he deflected it with a joke, but he really meant it.
Grimmauld Place 12
He could've told her at Grimmauld Place, when she told him she was scared, when he comforted her, when they feel asleep holding hands, but he was certain she already knew.
The Kiss
He was almost glad he missed all those chances, because that kiss was bloody damn worth it.
