A/N: Well, I had to fix this. I don't know why, but I kept spelling Ron wrong. Well, it's now fixed. I hope you all enjoy.

Chapter One

Ron was sitting in the dorm room, alone. He was leaning over his trunk, muttering and laughing. Just then the door opened and in walked Harry. Ron quickly dropped what he was holding into his trunk and slammed the lid shut.

"What were you doing?" Harry asked, watching Ron mutter spells at his trunk.

"I was just looking for something," Ron quickly said, "Really nothing important."

"What were you looking for?" Harry asked, "Maybe I can help you find it."

"I was looking for my charms essay," Ron lied.

"You turned it in this morning," Harry said, shaking his head.

"Oh ya, right," Ron said, quickly standing up, "Well, goodnight."

Ron and Harry both changed and got into their beds. Ron looked over at Harry to make sure he was asleep before he gave a sigh of relief. 'That was a close on,' Ron thought, 'Good thing he didn't see what I was doing.' Ron closed his eyes and was asleep in five minutes. Harry was the first one up the next day, he quickly woke up Ron. They both got ready and headed down for breakfast. Hermione was already there.

"Don't forget we have that big Potions assignment today," Hermione said as the boys sat down next to her.

"At least we get out of all the other classes," Ron said, filling up a plate and beginning to eat.

"Ya, we don't have to deal with Snape today," Harry sighed, "Just Slughorn."

Just then the mail came. An owl landed in front of Ron, who quickly took the letter.

"Whose it from?" Harry asked.

"It doesn't say," Ron said opening the letter.

He read it to himself. I know your little secret. If you don't want to spread it around the school you'll do as I tell you. If you don't than the entire school will be laughing at your by tonight. I will send a note to you when I want you to do something.

Ron's face went bright red. He quickly put the letter in his pocket before Harry or Hermione could see.

"Is something wrong?" Hermione asked.

"No," Ron lied, "I just remembered that I forgot something important."

Ron quickly stood up and ran out of the Great Hall before Hermione or Harry could say anything. Ron ran down a hall and stopped when he noticed no one was there. He leaned up against the wall and tried to think of who it could be. After one minute, he had come up with a few people: Draco, Ginny, Fred, George, and Harry. He knew it could be Fred or George since they were not even at school anymore and Harry wouldn't do something like this to him. Ginny would be this mean and she had access to his room all summer and Draco would do this for a laugh. Ron then realized that he was wasting time standing there. Class was going to start in five minutes. He quickly ran down to the dungeons and sat down next to Harry.

"Running a bit behind," Harry said, "Don't look so worried. This will be easy."

"Easy for you to say," Ron quickly said.

"What's the matter with you?" Harry asked, looking at Ron with concern.

"It's nothing, really," Ron said, "I think I can handle it."

"Well," Harry said, "if you need any help, just ask."

Ron nodded his head and waited for Slughorn to begin talking.

"Today, we will be making many different potions," Slughorn said, "Now; you've been excused from all your other classes, so you have all day to finish them. We will first make a gum potion that will make anything stick to something else. After that, you'll need to make five potions of your choice. Pick your potions wisely, though. We don't want you to spend all day with just one. Now you can begin."

Slughorn sat down at his desk and began looking at papers. Everyone began on the first potion. Ron began, calming down a bit. After a half hour, everyone was nearly done. Harry was further than anyone. His potion was already the light purple color while everyone else still had dark purple. Ron was stirring his potion when a note landed in front of him. He looked around before picking it up and reading it to himself.

Now the first task I want you to do is put a drop or more of that yellow stuff in front of you into Harry's potion.

Ron put the note in his pocket, looking a bit puzzled by this task. He looked in front of him and there was a small vial of yellow potion. He picked it up and looked over at Harry, who wasn't looking or paying much attention to his potion at this moment. Ron quickly dumped the entire thing into Harry's potion. The potion exploded with a loud bang, causing now light green potion to fly everywhere. Slughorn waved his wand and the potion all over everyone disappeared. There was still some potion in the cauldron though. Slughorn quickly moved over to examine it.

"Wow," Slughorn said, shocking nearly the entire class, "you added a yellow exploding liquid. Makes the potion useless, I must admit. Thought it gives the potion a very good taste. Really fun for parties and pranks. You don't mind if I take the rest?"

"Why sir?" Harry asked, "if the potion is useless?"

"Well, not entirely useless," Slughorn said, taking a little bit from the cauldron, it wasn't liquid but more like slime.

Slughorn dropped it onto the floor and there was another bang, drops of green potion flying everywhere.

"Just throw a bit on the floor and see who can catch the most in their mouths. I did it when I was in school," Slughorn said, "Yes, those were some good times. I even scared a few people with this. So, may I?"

"I guess you can have it," Harry said, looking relieved and a bit confused.

"Excellent," Slughorn said, filling up two big vials.

Slughorn went back to his desk and began writing a letter. Ron looked happy that he didn't ruin Harry's potion. He looked over at Draco to see that he was looking more than mad. 'It must be him,' Ron thought, 'Look at how mad he is. Bet he didn't expect that to happen.' Ron just smiled and continued with his potion. Soon everyone was finished with the first potion and was now continuing on their second. Ron decided that he was going to stick with simple potions. He looked over at Harry to see that he was busy on his potion. Sighing, Ron flipped a few pages and just picked a random potion, which was a fog potion. He got what he needed and began to make his potion, hoping that nothing else would happen during this class.
