This my first stories on ff.n, so if it is totally horrible, please understand. Hopefully I will get better the more I write. PLEASE REVIEW!! Thank you. Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters. Ok everyone got the point, right. Good. Now let the story begin.

"Oh man this is the third time this week that they both left me by myself." Ron growled walking down the corridor to his next class. "Where are they?"

"What's the matter weasel, cant find the other two stooges?" Malfoy laughed at Ron and kept walking to his classroom.

Ron completely ignored Malfoy and continued his walk. He was starting to notice that he was walking to more and more classes by himself. Harry and Hermione were always going somewhere, sometimes with an excuse sometimes without one. This was starting to get on his nerves.

"Hey Ron are you feeling alright? You look kind of well. crappie." Harry said from behind Ron.

'Well at least he is being honest,' thought Ron.

"Yeah, I'm fine" he lied. He couldn't bring himself to snoop into Harry's life and constantly ask him where he was going. He hated always asking, he didn't want to sound like his mother.

"Good lets get going or we are going to be late for class." Harry's voice broke thorough Ron's train of thought.

" Um yeah ok." Ron said and walked with Harry to his next class.

~*~*~*~After Class (Great Hall)~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

" Wasn't it funny when McGonagall called on Malfoy? Did you see the look on his face? He looked as white as a ghost." Ron said between fits of laughter.

" I know and when he was like 'Of course I know the answer, I just don't feel like telling you.' I can't believe he thought that would work." Harry said, also laughing hysterically.

"I know and.." Ron's last sentence was cut off when the milk started to come out of Seamus' nose on to the table.

This of course made everyonce at the table laugh or yell "EWW GROSS." Except for one person who was quiet the whole time.

"Oh come on Hermione laugh everyone once in a while." Said Harry.

Not even a smirk out of that one. Between the Malfoy incident and Seamus' milk squirting episode, Ron expected at least a giggle. But it never came. Ron realized that as soon as they talked about the Slytherin's, especially Malfoy, Hermione became very quiet.

"Ron! I think you might need this." Ron was then hit directly in the face with a napkin thrown by Dean.

"Why?" Ron asked

"Well unless you want boogers and milk stains on your robes, I would use it." Laughed Dean.

Ron looked down to see his robes drenched in milk. "Gee thanks Seamus." Ron said sarcastically.

"Yeah you were right in the way of Seamus' milk squirting path. But apparently you didn't notice." Harry giggled.

"O yeah hehe" Ron faked laughed trying not to get to embarrassed. 'I have to pay more attention to what is going on around me.' Ron said to himself.

"Hey Ron snap out of it!" Harry was snapping his fingers in front of Ron to get his attention.

"I'm not feeling so well, I think I'm going to go to bed early tonight." Ron said

"Its only 6 o clock are you sure." Asked Harry.

"Yeah, I will see you guys later." Said Ron as he got up and left the table.

The truth was that Ron was feeling fine physically. But there was something bothering him mentally. His friends. They have been acting a little off lately.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flash Back~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey guys do you want to go hang out at the..." Ron started to say when both Harry and Hermione cut him off.

"I am going to study in the library some more, so I will see you guys later" quickly Hermione said and ran off.

This probably would not have seemed weird to Ron, but the problem was she ran in the wrong direction. The library was to the right and Hermione ran to the left.

"I'm going to go practice. um Quiddtch." Harry said. What Harry said didn't bother Ron, it was the way he said it. He didn't look Ron in the eye like he normally would.

"O ok well I just be going then." Ron said dejectedly and walked away.

Harry felt bad about not telling Ron the truth about where he was really going. He would tell him eventually, but not now.

~~~~~~~~~~~End Flash Back~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Ron got in to his room that he shared with his friends, he felt different from usual. Like he wasn't suppose to be there. Yet it was calm and quiet not like it always is.

He jumped on to his bed and looked up at the ceiling and thought of why everyone was acting so out of place. He rolled over and looked at the brown chest hidden under Harry's bed.

He remembered Harry putting all his important possessions in that box, while he thought that Ron was never really paying attention to him. That was when the idea struck Ron like a ton of bricks.

Ron rolled off the bed and onto the floor. He crawled over to the box. He sat there and stared at it for a moment deciding what to do, he made up his mind.

"I'm sure that Harry wouldn't mind if I borrowed it. I bet he won't even know it's gone." With that thought in mind Ron opened the box to get the item that would put his plan into action.
