JEDI POTTER

(#) Destroyerdrt 2011-11-15

This is the first story that Ron dies in that he was not up to the task of fighting in all of the others he was good but the bad guy was better or he was out numbered.This does exclude the ones that he is the bad guy and it is Harry that kills him.Good luck with finding a job.

Heya Destroyerdrt.
Quite honestly, I hated to kill off Ron, but a lot of that wrote itself. In the early part of writing this story, Luna danced across my desk and demanded a larger role, so included her and Ron back in chapter four. Based on Harry’s canon character, he’d never even consider leaving his best mate behind. I also decided Ron, as written in canon, was rather one-dimensional. Rowling really didn’t do us any favours there. Most of her characters were paper dolls. Since he was jealous and lazy in canon, I made him the same…just a little less intense. I had to pair him with someone, so I chose Luna…which is, in my opinion, a realistic match. They grew up together, they knew each other well, and while Ron is afraid of her unusual nature, he’s fascinated by her all the same. She would also keep his hormones focused on her, rather than on Harry’s relationship with Hermione. It’s thin, but it’s much better than JKR did.
Unfortunately his canon nature would push him in the direction I have. As I said several times before, he’s still prideful, reckless and prone to impetuous action. That’s what killed him, more than anything. Worse, he nearly got both Susan and Hannah killed too. All because he wanted to be a hero.
