Ron and Justin got asked to duel. Only, it's not exactly a real duel, it's more a performance of impressive looking spells. Remember Lockhart? It's like a Lockhart style duel. But with less obliviation.
Harry's actually sitting right next to me because he's pretending to be a Slytherin again today. And Zabini is trying to act like that's not weird.
I'm not actually sure if he particularly requested Ron and Justin or if that was Dolohov's idea, someone came over and whispered to both of them and they got their wands back (oh, yeah, we had to leave our wands outside because of the Lord Protector, the only people who have theirs are Hydra and Finnigan and Patil. And Harry. And the people who are dueling.)
I know. I mean, I didn't even know that Draco and I would be together, ever, but even without that, I was actually really really relieved that it turned out he ran away before he had to be Marked. Only then I feel guilty about Hydra. It's got to be so hard for her. And for Justin.
I wasn't sure how you felt about it. About, what would happen if...something happened to Ron.
Sometimes I wish he hadn't got good enough marks on his OWLs to have a shot at the Auror programme, because of what it does to him, I mean it's done to him already. But he'll do it for the Order, just like I'll do whatever I have to do.
He said that not too long ago, Voldemort had a really awkward conversation with him. We've got a theory, I'm not really at liberty to share it, sorry, but I was worried when Voldemort came to the school that he was--going to be sizing Harry up. You know, in a sort of...are you plump enough to be plucked and roasted sort of way.

Or is it something you just don't think about?

But not literally, of course.
