I'm going to stray from Canon which means that right now the
moderators are probably aiming a very big cannon at me.

I hope Ron does something so obviously and independantly heroic that
no one can possibly ignore him. So heroic, that while still Harry's
friend, he is not basking in Harry's reflectd glory.

Among a small segement of wizards, Ron is a king, a hero's hero, a
champion's campion. In my fan fiction, (the moderators are now
lighting  the fuse on their cannon) kids come rushing up to Harry and
Ron, Harry rolls his eyes and say, 'Crap, not this again. More hero
worship.', but the kids rush past Harry and go straight to Ron. Sure
Harry beat up some stupid lizard man, but can he play chess? No? Well
then who cares then.

Among chess players, the Philosopher's Stone chess game against
McGonnagall's chess set was the most noble, brave, and heroic game of
chess ever played in the entire history of the world. A 12 year old
boy, scared to death, overpower, out matched, played bravely to the
end. Then, like any good chess player, he saw the sacrifice play, he
knew that sometimes a player must be lost for the greater good of the
game, for the greater good of the world. And the greatest most noble
and brave chess player who ever lived, did just that, he sacrificed
himself for the great good of the world and for the sake of his friends. 

I swear if I was a little kid chess player in England, every night
before I went to bed, I would bow my head, fold my hands, and say a
little pray to the lord and master of all chess players; the great Ron
Weasley. 

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
