Title: Acceptance
Author: celandineb
Fandom: HP
Character: Ron
Rating: general
Length: 200 words
Summary: Ron finally feels special.
Note: For aome, who wanted Ron solo or with anyone in his generation, "coming into his own."
As the youngest of six Weasley sons, Ron might have felt special... except that he wasn't the absolute youngest, that was Ginny, and her being the only girl as well rather put Ron's claim into the shade.
Becoming friends with Harry Potter was pretty cool too, Ron didn't deny that. Harry was the Boy Who Lived, after all, and that he'd picked Ron as his best mate meant Ron must be special himself.
It didn't always feel like it, though. Harry was as good as or better than Ron in all their classes, and he was brilliant at Quidditch to boot, whereas Ron felt a right old fraud most of the time he played as Keeper. He knew, if no one else did, how nearly he mucked up almost every save. He even suspected, darkly, that he'd been let on the team just because he was Harry's friend.
Not until he was accepted for Auror training did Ron feel that he'd come into his own. He'd earned that place not by birth, or friendship, or deception of any kind, but through his own hard work and persistence, and for once when people congratulated him, he felt no embarrassment at all.
