"Just ask him"
They made it sound so simple.
But how, how was I supposed to do that?
How was I supposed to go over to him and just ask him something like that?
What if he said no?
What if he said yes?
What if he thought we were going as just friends?
What if het thought I wanted to go as more than just friends and he didn't feel that way about me?
What if -
And why couldn't he just ask me himself?
We'd been friends for over three years, so surely he would've realized by now that I existed, right?
And he didn't have any problems asking a girl out, after all: he'd already asked at least one to go with him.
That might not have gone all too well, but, well, he really should've known that she'd probably would say no.
Given who she was, and the fact that half the male population of both Hogwarts and Durmstrang was drooling all over her.
So, really, what did he expect?
Then again, he didn't really seem to have been planning on asking her.
But still: if he could ask her, why couldn't he ask me?
Why didn't he ask me?
Did he really not want to go with me so badly?
And then there was that other thing.
That other guy- no, man.
He had half the female population of Hogwarts and Beauxbattons drooling over him.
And yet he'd asked me to go to the ball with him.
And he'd even done so in private, and he'd brought me flowers.
And I really did like him, but...
I just wish he'd have asked me to go with him.
I wasn't even sure if he would ever ask me.
Nor if I would ever be able to gather the courage to ask him.
And did I really want to be the back-up, the girl he took to a ball, just because no one else would say yes?
I honestly didn't know anymore.
I was just sick of being something like a third boy in our group, the one who would always be there as 'just a friend'.
So I'd say yes, I decided.
And no.
I would not
"Just ask him"
I somehow found myself being frustrated with Ron throughout almost the entire fourth book. First he ditches Harry, then he's to dumb to notice Hermione, then he just ruins the ball for both himself and his date, then... Okay, then he gets slightly better, but stil...
