An: Written for the Gemstone Competition. This is not meant to bash Ron in any way, it's meant to be him coming to terms with some stuff after having some low points where he thought he wasn't worth anything. This was inspired by a song in AVPSY with the same title.
For the longest time, Ron had watched his best friend in the spotlight. Even Hermione was always being honored by something, or awarded some prize for academic achievements. Harry was the hero, the savior, the star. Hermione was the smart one, the logical one who got them through everything. What was he?
The heart, they had called him on more than one occasion. What good was that though? He had always felt like he was worthless, and that he was just going along for the ride. Even when he was growing up he felt that way because of the brothers he had to live up to. It was hard not to still feel that way now when his best friend was the chosen one.
He was not the bravest, the smartest, or hell, even the best looking. He wasn't the chosen one, and he would forever go down in history as Harry Potters best friend. In a way though, Ron had come to terms with all this. He knew it, and while there was a time where he hated it, he didn't exactly feel that way anymore.
He might not be the best at Quidditch, and his brains had never really been impressive, but that was all okay now. Somehow though, he was the 'heart' and he had yet to figure out what that really meant. He figured it had to mean something though, otherwise people wouldn't be calling him that. He was a sidekick, and he probably always would be in one way or another. Sometimes he hated it, but others, he loved it.
He loved being there for his friends and helping in anyway he could. He would always be there, no matter how much he may have gotten wrong in the past. He would always be there, and he would always love being at their side.
