Del replies :
Not true at all. The *only* times when we see Ron refusing to back up
Hermione is when she's going after the Twins. Other than that, we
never hear Hermione complaining that Ron is not doing his job as a
Prefect, which to me is an indication that he must be doing it. But
Harry can't tell us that, because Harry doesn't follow Ron around to
see what he's doing as a Prefect.

In fact, if we assume that the fact that we never see Ron acting as a
Prefect is an indication that he never did anything, then we also have
to conclude that Hermione only ever did 2 things as a Prefect : guide
the first-years at the beginning of the year, and block the Twins in
their testing. Oh, and hang up the Christmas decorations, along with Ron.
