A/N: Please, if you're Ron's greatest fans, don't blame me, don't flame me. I love Weasleys, but this idea just came to my mind: what if Ron's in position of Petegrew now? Always in a shadow, always… Whatever – read on.

The Road. Part 1
It was always like that.
Never different.
Never.
First – hanging around with older brothers, Charlie, Bill, Percy, Fred and George – then, Hogwarts – and always in the shadow of "famous Harry Potter"
I didn't mind.
I never did.
Harry Potter took me seriously, unlike others. I was the bad egg of the family – not sly or creative or "kewl" like Fred and George, not the "perfect son" – Percy, not the Cool and Popular and Head Boy Bill, not the "lovely little girl" Ginny. Not even Charlie, who was Seeker, and could fly and was so nice and kind and had such a charisma. Oh, no, good old Ron was never like that.
Then I went to Hogwarts. And again it started. I tried to be funny. I tried to be popular. But – no way! It was just like that – Harry Potter, Harry Potter, and if somebody asked my name, and I said "Ron Weasley" – they nodded – Harry Potter's friend. Even Hermione. Yes, not very cute, yes, plain, but SMART! Best student of the year. I was never like her – always rubbish. Yes, this is my word – rubbish. I would never do anything myself – always need help – rubbish, I am. Even a rat I once owned turned to be a betrayal, an Animagus, Petegrew.
Oh yes, he was in the same situation. Oh, yes, he indeed was.
Like me, he was – in the shadow of everything and everyone, always in the shadow – unnoticeable, helpless rat.
He was in Black's, Potter's and Lupin's shadow at Hogwarts – then, when he betrayed them, he became a shadow of Voldemort.
Oh, yes, but I don't want to be like that. It is not a way with me. I will never become a shadow again, like I was before. Like I was a shadow of harry Potter and Hermione, like I was just "Weasley", like as if my parents can't afford a name for me. Why does it have to be like that? Why can't it be normal – for good people – good fortune, good life. It's always people like Malfoy or Potter who get all the money and all the attention. Okay, I wouldn't fancy Dursleys, and I wouldn't fancy Malfoy's parents, but COME ON! They at least have their room, they at least have their OWN life, and they're, at least, not the tag-along!
Why can't I just be myself? Why? What's the problem with that? Always – Fred's brother, or Potter's friend… or Malfoy's enemy… Never Ron Weasley, always "somebody's something". Always a shadow.
Shadow.
Shadow.
Mere shadow.
Now it won't be like that – I know it won't. I shall choose a way now – to stay with Potter, and be a shadow forever, to be a shadow, but to be his "good" shadow, to support Potter, or to be a somebody, not like Petegrew, however, who I hate, but to be somebody, to be something, to be a supporter of Voldemort? Which is my road? Which is my way? Which is my path?
A/N: I'll leave it there – me evil. Review – and tell me – shall Ron betray him friends or not? Wow, me evil… grins
