Dondee:

My favorite Ron moment is more of a trio moment: the scene in OotP 
following the kiss. It is too much to write all down here so I will 
just give the highlights...

>>Ron made a triumphant gesture with his fist and went into a racus 
peal of laughter... A reluctant grin spread over Harry's face as he 
watched Ron rolling around on the hearthrug...

>>"Well?" Ron said finally, looking up at Harry. "How was it?"

>>Harry considered for a moment.

>>"Wet," he said truthfully...

>>..."Are you that bad at kissing?"

>>"Dunno," said Harry... "Maybe I am."

>>"Of course your not," said Hermione absently...

>>"How would you know?" said Ron in a sharp voice.

>>...Cho crying, Cedric dying, bad Quidditch playing, etc...

>>A slightly stunned silence greeted the end of this speech, then 
Ron said, "One person can't feel all that at once, they'd explode."

And then later the whole Krum jealousy is revisited...

>>"Who are you writing the novel to anyway? "Ron asked Hermione, 
trying to read the bit of parchment now trailing on the floor.

>>Hermione hitched it out of site.

>>"Viktor."

>>"Krum?"

>>"How many other Viktors do we know?"

...later...

>>"What does she see in Krum?" Ron demanded as he and Harry climbed 
the boys' stairs.

>>"Well," said Harry,considering the matter, "Is'pose he's older, 
isn't he... and he's an international Quidditch player...."

>>"Yeah, but apart from that,"

Ah, one of JKR's best writing moments, IMHO of course :)

Cheers, Dondee
