Without you I'm nothing
1. Loneliness
When had everything changed? As long as he could remember they had been good friends. Of course they still were friends, it was just that they weren't together so much. Maybe he just felt left out? But why hadn't he even told him he was going out with Draco? Didn't he understand he would find out? And that when he got it from Neville and Seamus it felt much, much worse?
Ron couldn't really remember when it was that he had started sneaking out when the others were sleeping. He knew Harry also did it and usually left after him. There were times, though, when he left before his friend just to make it seem as if he was also seeing someone. Harry never asked. What actually happened, was that he went to some tower and watched the stars floating in the sky.
He just felt so lonely. Hermione was just studying for the OWL:s all the time and Harry was either seeing Draco or talking about him. Ron couldn't stand it, he just couldn't. He wished from the bottom of his heart that there would be someone, even if it was just a little mouse, just someone who would be interested in him.
2. Potions
Ron had a potions class. He wasn't really paying attention to the man talking in front of the class. He was so concentrated on his dwelling-in-agony-appereance that he didn't even notice it when all the others in the classroom started making some potion. When his Professor called his name for the second time, clearly irritated, he looked up.
"Mr. Weasley, I would appreciate it if you bothered to pay so much attention that you could at least act like you knew what you are supposed to do, while it is now unmistakeably clear that you have no interest in passing your OWL:s", Severus Snape said in his so-dry-that-could-make-you-a-mummy-tone.
"Yes Sir, sorry Sir!" Ron answered and turned to Hermione to ask what he was supposed to do.
Instead, Snape continued, in the same tone: "Page 153, and don't even dream about asking help from your friends, this is the test I told you during the last lesson".
Ron was horrified, he had no idea what to do, he wasn't something people normally call 'good at potions'. Although, he started making the potion, doing his best. When he finally was ready he rose his hand like Snape had told them to. Professor came to him, looked at the potion, smelled and looked somewhat stunned.
"Mr. Weasley, I have no idea how you have done it, but you have succeeded doing a working potion". Ron sighed in relief. "Although, this is not the potion you were supposed to do, this is love potion. A potion you are supposed to make with totally different ingredients and absolutely not in my class", Snape continued with amusement. Ron wasn't sure which one was worse, the fact he had failed or that he had made love potion. He was absolutely too scared to think.
Ron stood up suddenly, and while doing this he succeeded in knocking down his cauldron. And of course all the love potion in it fell on Snape. For a second their eyes locked, and Ron could see something strange was going on in Snape's head, he could see the feelings roaming around in his eyes.
"This is the end of the class, if you didn't finish your potion return a 100-paged essay about it and it's effects in tomorrow's lesson", Snape said angrily and disappeared to his private chambers.
Ron was absolutely horrified. What exactly was it that he had done? He had nearly drowned Snape in a LOVE POTION! He was sure there would be a really long detention because of this.
