Well, we were always going to fail that one, " said Ron gloomily as they ascended the marble staircase. He had just made Harry feel rather better by telling him how he told the examiner in detail about the ugly man with a wart on his nose in the crystal ball, only to look up and realize he had been describing the examiner's reflection.

About This Quote

In this quote, Ron has just described his worst nightmare. In the scene from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone where Ron is studying with Hermione, he tells her that he failed another exam. His worst fear seems to have been realized. He is now cast into a world of failure and shame.

He feels like a failure and his self-esteem has suffered a bit. Then, Hermione comes to his rescue and tells him that he did not fail the exam after all. She is very supportive and does not allow him to feel bad about himself.

She tells him that no matter how many times he gets back up that he will always be a Gryffindor and that her faith in him will always be unwavering.
