She can do better than a boy who at thirteen stood on a broken leg to protect his best friend?
She could do better than a boy who vomited slugs defending her from a word she didn't know was mean, because he knew it, had more of a right than anyone in the trio to use it, but recognized it for the racist bs it was?
She can do better than a boy who saw his own faults and worked to be better because he wanted to please her?
SHe can do better than a boy who at twelve, faced his worst fears to try and figure out who had petrified her?
Yes, he has some maurity issues (try spending time with your average teenage boy these days and tell me Ron is immature) and no, he is not as intellectually gifted as her. But he had had the heart of the trio, the common sense, and he loved her.
Maybew you don't see what she sees in him, but there are many, many who do. Including the author, who based him on her best friend.
