"He who angers you conquers you" -Elizabeth Kenny

I was glad that for the next two days Ravenclaw happened to have no classes with Gryffindor what so ever but then Thursday came around and it just happened that basically our whole day had to be spent with them. In my head I was freaking out but I had to act normal especially around Ali or she would just keep bugging me about Ron all day and I didn't need that.
But of course when I'm trying to act ok I don't talk much and that seems to make everyone more worried about me.

"Ok what's up?" Ali asked me at breakfast

"Nothing" I said nonchalantly as I ate my eggs

"Lies, it's about our classes today isn't it" She sighed "We could fake you getting hurt, or wait I will injure you!" she yelled

"Allison, really" I just gave her the really look which makes sense in my world to be a look

"Well I thought it was a good idea" She said poking at her food

"I rather face him then hide from him, that just seems pathetic" I assured her while trying my best not to look at the Gryffindor table which had been hard to do in the last two days.

"Well if you feel like you don't want to be in class just tell me I got skiving snackboxes from the Weasley twins" She grinned

"I will be fine" I insisted and she dropped it

We finished eating and headed outside for Care of Magical Creatures with no other than Gryffindor. I tried to have a positive outlook on the class but it was very difficult for me. Professor Grubbly-Plank was waiting next to the forbidden forest waiting for everyone to arrive. Surprisingly Umbridge was next to her talking about what she was going to teach us this year.

"I hate this women she is mental, inspecting all the teachers" I whispered to Ali

"I'm the one who has detention with her all week" Harry made me jumped

"All week? Really?" I turned to look at him

"Yeah so I won't tell lies anymore, or so she says" he told me glaring at Umbridge

"She is awful" Ali joined in

"She also needs to find a better color to wear then pink, it makes her look like a pig" Ron said behind us and everyone giggled quietly so she wouldn't hear

I was taken by surprise, Ron actually speaking around me. My eyes went wide.

"I think she's actually half pig, with her little squeal like laugh she has" I said Ali looked to me surprised I said anything

Ron had now joined all of us, in fact he was standing right next to me, which made me nervous and my heart start beating faster than it should be. I was never this close to Ron. I was scared to look over at him but still so tempted.

"Do you think she'll be here all class" Hermione asked

"3 hours outdoors by the forbidden forest, I highly doubt it" Ali said

"She wouldn't want half-breeds jumping out and attacking her" Ron again said something amusing. I tried to hold back a smile but it was hard.

I turned my head to look at him and saw that he had a smile on his face and was starring in my direction, I locked eyes with him for a second but quickly turned to face Professor Grubbly-Plank who had now started to speak to us about this year's lessons.

"Now class we all know you have OWLs this year, so we're going to learn and go over all the things you will need to know for your exam" She announced to the class "Today we will be learning how to recognize Knarls and Crups, follow me"

The class was actually enjoyable since Umbridge left after a half hour, and Ron wasn't ignoring me and actually speaking to me which still was weirding me out.

And later that day after charms we had transfiguration with Gryffindor again and this time I was excited about it. I couldn't wait to see Ron again and of course being around Harry and Hermione was enjoyable.
Since I had to run up to the common room before class because I forgot my book. When I got to class there was an evil smirk on Allison's face who was sitting next to Harry, Hermione was next to Neville, and the only open seat was next to Ron. Allison and her evil doings none the less. I glared at her as I passed by to sit next to Ron.

I was scared to speak to him but I didn't have to be the one to break the tension.

"Hey" He said with a slight smile

"Hi?" I tried not to look at him

"Is my face really that awful" he laughed

"No, just we don't normally talk" I said trying not to be a jerk when I said it

"Well I've been meaning to talk to you about that, but I think we're better off after class unless we want Mc Gonagall to take off our heads as she teaches" he was dead serious, he wanted to talk to me?

"Um...sure we can do that" I was confused but went along with it.

I would have to say that this was the best class all week.

"Stop laughing" Ron whined

"But your snail looked so funny, I can't help it" I laughed more as we walked out of class

"I'm glad my snail turning rainbow colored instead of vanishing amused you, McGonagall didn't seem too amused" Ron sighed

"I can help you, if you need it" I said trying to cheer him up

"Thanks but you do realize I'm friends with Hermione don't you" he laughed

"Hey, I was trying to be nice" I pushed him

"Pushing me is not very nice" He pushed me back

I just smiled as we walked down the corridor towards the great hall, I hadn't notice that Ali, Harry and Hermione went on ahead of us. Ron gabbed my arm so I would stop walking.

I gave him a confused look but remembered he wanted to talk to me.

"I'm sorry" he said "about being thick headed"

"It's fine" how could I not forgive this adorable boy

"You sure, because I was being a stupid git and you didn't deserve that" he looked to the ground

"Really Ron, it's fine" I smiled "I'm over it"

He looked up at me with a smile "Good cause I probably am going to need someone to help me with spells" he chuckled

"What about Hermione?" I asked in confusion

"She isn't as amusing as you, and she already helps me with homework" He said

He made me smile "I guess I could help you, but it's going to cost you"

"And what's it going to cost me?" he grinned

"I'll have to think about it" I winked and walked into the great hall for dinner as he stood a little loss of what I could of meant.
