Ron was confused. A lot of people would not find this very startling, but
just because he didn't always do well in classes did not mean he couldn't
be as smart as the next person. Unless the next person happened to be
Hermione, no one was as smart as her, after all she knew more than some
teachers did! But this really stumped him, this he didn't understand. He
doubted even Hermione could make head or tail of it, if he asked her. He
wouldn't though, it wasn't his place, this could be something really
personal to Harry, and he wasn't sure that he himself should know about it.
It had been during a quidditch game, and As Harry made a spectacular catch a bludger had gone sailing and hit him. No biggy, he had been hit thousands of times, by various things. He would be fine, Madame Pomfrey would see to that. So they took him off on a stretcher as usual, deposited him to the nearest bed, as usual, and, also right in synch Madame Pomfrey gave them a lecture on dangerous sports in schools. All the same as it had always been. Then Mcgonagall had come up and handed Ron something. A necklace. The ravenclaws had found it on the pitch where Harry had fallen, they used it was his. Since he wasn't awake yet, could Ron be a dear and hold onto it? Of course he would.
This is what had thrown everything out of wack for Ron. This Necklace. He had known Harry had it; he had seen the chain sticking out from his shirt collars. What is it? Oh, just a good luck charm. This made sense; Seamus had one to, how had a little ring that said something in Latin. But Harry's was different. On the end of the chain was a sort of instrument, Ron didn't know what type. Muggles played them. A bit odd, but then again, Harry had lived with muggles all his life until coming to Hogwarts. Now, the instrument wasn't the thing that irked him though, it was pewter tag, and inscribed on it was "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" with smaller writing underneath, "Philippians 4:18". What was that supposed to mean? Perhaps it just had a special meaning to Harry. Maybe it wasn't Harry's at all. He would have to wait for Harry to wake up. But until then.he was just confused.
