Hey! Sorry to keep you hanging on that little cliffie, I've been really busy! After you read the chapter, can you please review and tell me what you think Ron should have been accused of? Thank you so much, it will all make sense once you have read it!

Disclaimer: I only own my ideas, not Harry Potter.

What happened to Krum?

Hermione gasped. Ron shook with anger, his ears scarlet. They both stood up, Hermione slowly and awkwardly, Ron quickly, still trembling with rage. Hermione opened her mouth to say something, but Ron got ther first.

"How dare you!! She's married - perfectly happily - we were - are - fine! But you couldn't leave us in peace, could you? Couldn't face the fact that this time, someone else has got something that you can't have?! YOU SELFISH LITTLE-"

He continued with some strong language, striding closer to Krum who laughed hysterically.

"You're just jealous! You know that I'm better for her! You know that I can give her things you can only dream of! So maybe I'm not the selfish one, maybe you are! Maybe you should just let her come with me, and find someone else to share your pathetic little life with!"

Ron fumed. Stepping towards Krum, he swung his arm and punched him in the mouth. Krum clutched his face and screamed "ASSAULT!".Then he quickly lifted his foot and kicked Ron between the legs. Ron dropped to the floor, squirming. People began to crowd around Krum who was rubbing his face and pointing at Ron. Reporters began clicking their cameras at him, and speaking excitedly to Quick Quotes Quills. Fans glared at him, and a teenager in baggy jeans spat disgustedly in his direction. He turned around, and Hermione was looking at him and shaking her head. Suddenly, two Aurors came out of the crowd, looking meaningfuly at Ron. Ron looked back. Surely they couldn't arrest him for smacking Victor Krum? He heard a reporter talking hurriedly to her Quill.

"Ronald Weasley is the name of the man who comitted this terrible crime. He will go down in history as the man who will be hated forever by Quidditch fans everywhere. Victor Krum is now severely shaken and most probably traumatised for life. Everyone here is hoping that Krum will pull through, and that will get the punishment he deserves for this disgusting act."

So Krum had laid it on thick. So thick, that the whole country was now going to think that he had commited a - what was it? - "Disgusting act". Ron looked back at the Aurors. They were walking towards him. Without thinking, he turned on his heels and ran.
Task one - find out what he was supposed to have done. Task two - either clear his name, or do it.
