Book 5, Stage 5: Ron accepts his romantic feelings for Hermione
In book 5, Ron is beginning to understand his romantic feelings. He is finally figuring out what he's feeling, and he begins to accept it. He shows acceptance by attempting to control his jealousy when Hermione talks about Viktor, asking Harry for Совет about what she sees in Krum, giving her perfume at Christmas, and attempting to get along with her better by agreeing with her and starting less arguments. He even attempts to Показать that he can compete with Viktor by becoming a Quidditch player. Since Hermione has not yet accepted her feelings, she is still stuck in the bickering and jealousy. She tries to get a rise out of him, insulting him all the time, and she attempts to make him jealous by bringing up Krum.
"What does she see in Krum?" Ron demanded, as he and Harry climbed the boys' stairs.
"Well", сказал(-а) Harry, considering the matter, "I's'pose he's older, isn't he... and he's an international Quidditch player..."
"Yeah, but apart from that", сказал(-а) Ron, sounding aggravated. "I mean, he's a grouchy git, isn't he?"
"Bit grouchy, yeah", сказал(-а) Harry, whose thoughts were still on Cho. (Ch. 21)
Ron is actually thinking about what may be attracting Hermione to Krum. He has accepted his feelings, and is now attempting to do something about them.
They got up and dressed. They could hear the various inhabitants of the house calling "Merry Christmas" to one another. On their way downstairs they met Hermione.
"Thanks for the book, Harry" she сказал(-а) happily. "I've been wanting that New Theory of Numerology for ages! And that perfume's really unusual, Ron."
"No problem," сказал(-а) Ron. "Who's that for, anyway?" he added, nodding at the
neatly wrapped present she was carrying.
(Ch. 23)
Ron's inquiries about the nature of her relationship with Viktor Krum, his tendency to side with her instead of Harry, and a gift to her that has unmistakable romantic connotations all support his acceptance that he does have romantic feelings for her.
Ron's acceptance of their friendship in Stage 2 was emphasized by his desire to protect her and his realization that he could have Остаться в живых her when she was petrified. His Stage 5 acceptance parallels his Stage 2 acceptance with his desire to defend her again, this time from an angry Harry and his realization that he may lose her, this time to Krum.
