1. Almost over now
Feeling those pangs of regret
Wait - I'm just hungry

2. Sparkling, twinkle lights
Walking to see every one
Why must they be white?

Seriously, I am *so sick* of the "white lights" trend for Christmas decorations. Bring back the colors!

You've seen this? Good.

What gets me is not all the "proof" that Ron is or could become abusive, but the follow-up that because he's headed in that direction he "will hit Hermione". He will? Why?

Has Ron ever been shown to be particularly violent? I know he's jinxed people - but so does everybody else in that god-forsaken school, and they think this is all in good fun. So, again I say - violent? Won-won? Hermione's more violent than he is!

His lack of violence would not, of course, make him not abusive. I understand that. Indeed, I've often considered that the Weasley household is full of borderline emotional abuse (something I *would* consider a warning sign for what Ron may do in the future - but again, have we ever seen any violence among the family members?) I get that there's other forms of abuse besides hitting people.

But do the authors of this article get that? Because they take this evidence that's kinda sorta convincing (not really, mihi, but I can see how they can come to that conclusion) and then go straight into the twilight zone with this hitting thing. I just don't see it, really.

And I'm posting this just to remind all of youse that yes, there's other forms of abuse out there. Really.
