Really, do you think so? I would have thought that if he had really wanted to catch the eye he would have made the bandage colour-shift or put spangles on it.
But then Ron Weasley isn't really the spangle type, is he?
I'm a lot better at colour-change transfiguration than I used to be, so Ron, if you WANT your bandages to be Cannons Orange I reckon I could manage it!
If you want sparkly bits you'd better talk to the Twins, though.
In fact, on that note, I'm holding off teasing him any more where others can see. Even though I'd dearly like to.
For instance, I could say to him that the size of his ego or his swollen head could've provided distraction enough, if only he hadn't been thinking about those robes of Nefertiti!
Or that if he wants a medal for standing by and doing nothing, we can certainly make one up for him.
You were being such a good friend, sticking your thumb up your arse while Draco was in mortal danger, that Ron just couldn't take it any more! Your devotion was just too much to handle!
He wasn't trying to save Draco, he was trying to end it all so that he wouldn't have to spend another minute basking in the overwhelming presence of you.
Oh, and you would rather he show his healing wound? According to him, it's still oozing a bit, but you know, I'm sure he'd be accommodating to your delicate sensibilities.
But then again, red is a bit more eye-catching than white, don't you agree?
Oooh, haven't you heard, though? There's a free bandage giveaway going on in the Infirmary! She's just passing them out to anybody! If you hurry, you can get one, but she might run out soon.

And it sometimes involves Chudley Cannon orange.
Which might look rather nice on a bandage, come to think of it. And might go quite well with Gryffindor colours.

I could see it working.

Date: 2011-05-06 05:34 pm (UTC)How about you take lessons from your girlfriend on how to be gracious?
Or...
Ron would've graciously let you jump right in, but he noticed you were too busy examining your nails.
Or...
It's such an insult! How dare Ron bleed like that! Honestly. I know how sensitive you are about blood.
Or...
It's a good thing you didn't sprain anything just standing there.

'Oozing' is the same thing.
