Me too - lots of time offline composing silly fairy tales, less online

so, I *think* nobody caught this, one of my favourite moments in the 
entire canon.  From memory, I'm afraid.

At the Yule ball, Ron has just been exceptionally rude to Krum, and K 
walks off, looking for Hermione.

Percy bustles over, and says something like: 'Made friends with 
Viktor Krum, Ron?', rubbing his hands together, 'Excellent, 
excellent - that's what it's all about, international magical co-
operation.'

It's very funny in its own right, but I like it particularly because 
if Ron had been entering into the spirit of the thing, it would have 
been a positive moment for him, too.  As it is, Percy's innocent 
enthusiasm is just what Ron needs, if he is capable of receiving it.
