I think this is why I'm against an H/H SHIP. I think that if there were
to happen before Ron is able to control himself, then I think this would
ultimately end up in the "betrayal" category, as Ron might be willing ot
go extremes to get the upper hand over Harry. Then, after Ron has gone
to the extreme, is brought back to reality and decides to redeem himself
by sacrificing himself to save Harry or Hermione. I like Ron too much,
and I don't want to see him this torn between what he wants and what is
right. Though...I'm sure that if JKR went this route she'd make a
satisfying redemption for Ron, but I want for him what I want for Harry
and Hermione -- to have long happy life after V is taken out. In my mind
this just can't happen if Ron goes to the dark side, but my gut says he
won't. He might be tempted, but he won't go.
