Disclaimer: I do not own anything in this fic apart from possibly the actual things Ron's thinking. Although actually, they belong to the evil plot bunnies who make me write stuff like this...

AN:/ Okay, this is possibly what Ron could have been thinking in TDH when he's wearing the Horcrux. The evil plot bunnies invaded my head and threatened to eat all the carrots if I didn't write it so, y'know, not my fault!

He's the lion with a hiss, the snake in the nest. He's dangerous to us, this boy who converses with snakes. He's a liability, too like a snake, not enough like a lion. Sure, he's got courage but it's not the Gryffindor courage. It's the courage of the Slytherins. It's doing something brave only as long as he gets something out of it. He's sly, he's too good a liar. How long has he managed to get away with the Invisibility Cloak, how long has he managed to lie, to cover up the fact that he speaks Parseltongue? Too long for a Gryffindor. I know if I had that curse, I wouldn't have lied. I would have just told everyone, been truthful and brave but he hasn't. You see? Slytherin bravery. He gets nothing out of telling people and so he doesn't. How can he lie to us, lure us away from our families, pretend he knows anything and everything about what we're doing? I wouldn't, no, I couldn't do that but then, I'm not him. Never have I been happier for that to be the case.

AN:/ What d'ya think? Pretty please review! For me? Or those plot bunnies might hold me hostage and demand the carrots again. Would you really wish that fate on someone? :)
