I think a lot (if not all) of us fic writers (the fanartist in me is craving to do canon!kickass!swordwielding!Ron art <3 further blabberings on this later...) read through this book, breathed a heavy sigh after the last page and can't wait to go back to fandom. Yes, canon happened but the slashers have wonderful worlds to go back to and frolick in. ANd admittedly, the fannon world is much much better more often than not.
Now about the swordwielding!Ron... <3 I could kiss JKR. I like swords in general. I'm also quite the Arthurian fan. Most of my AU fics/drawings have Ron donning the mantle of a Black Knight in some form or another. So for him to retrieve that sword with that scenario completely won the book for me.
Ron punching Draco in the end, also. I remember it was Ron's punch at the beginning that made me ship those two before lol and for it to come full circle like that was a wonderful trip. And on a random and probably pointless sidenote, their wands both have unicorn hair!
