That sounds exactly like Ronald. Hope he wasn't hurt too badly.

Yes, he gets along with Parkinson and Perks quite well. They've come over for Quidditch several times at the Burrow, and the three of them are thick as pixies together. I had a few doubts about Perks at first, given her background. But she's certainly perfectly respectful, and almost painfully polite to my mother.

I've heard good things about her knack at dark arts, too.

And of course, I'm quite pleased to see him cultivating a relationship with Parkinson; now there's a connection it will do him good to foster.
