When Ron get sorted in Slytherin he knew things were going to get better, like deep down he knew that, but a the very beginning things were just miserable, mom and dad have been very disappointed on him, like if wear silver and green automatically make him an untrustwhorty boy, and the rest of his family (aka his brothers) were all the same as their parents, only a little worst because they were in school with him, and nothing stop them for bully him, nothing until Draco bloody Malfoy stod in their way.
Maybe yeah, that as a matter of fact didn’t change much, but it was something, slightly and almost imperceptible his heart warm a little because every time before they get to howgarts, Ron himself wasn’t a nice person to the other boy, quite the contrary, and Draco, because it was Draco now, have only say, we Slytherin stick together whenever you like it or not, and yeah maybe that was kind of cool because he didn’t need to say, ey guys i need you help, i need your company, it was implicit as a reality.
With Draco come along as an extension of him, Crabbe, Goyle and Parkinson, but Parkinson was a surprise, not unwelcome but a surprise nonetheless, it was well known among the house mates that she didn’t do anything she didn’t want, when he get to know her better he understood why, she was enjoying her freedom because she didn’t know when it was going to end, he respected that, and he enjoyed her presence in his life, the presence of every Slytherin in his life, because okey yeah maybe that wasn’t the plan, that wasn’t the dream he have in mind every time he have thought of howgarts, but at the end of the day, the hat have been rigth, in Slytherin you make your real friends, a he with all the pride in his heart could say coming back to his noisy house, i’m the first Weasly who have friends who choose him, they choose me and i choose them, and okey yeah maybe, I don’t belong anywhere else.
