'You take it. Drink half and we'll keep the rest incase we need it again sometime on the mission. Half will probably get you about six hours, right?' Daniel asked, he knew that Ron was a more experienced Auror and would, of course, make better use of the Felix Felicis than Daniel would.

'Really? You're OK with that?' Daniel nodded and Ron felt excitement rush through him. Ron had never taken Felix Felicis before, he had only ever been under the impression that he had. This time he knew that Harry hadn't pretended to slip some into his pumpkin juice.

'So shall we make a plan, then? For when you've taken it?' Daniel asked.

Ron laughed and shook his head in amusement, remembering the first time he had seen someone take Felix Felicis, back when he was at school.

'There's no point, Dan' Ron laughed again at Daniels shocked expression 'When you've taken this, you don't follow any plan. You just know exactly what to do, and things just go perfectly for you!'

They looked at eachother and smiled greatly, ready to get out of there and catch the evil Wizard once and for all.

Ron pulled the lid off of the phial and drunk, leaving half of the potion still in the bottle.

'Do you feel anything?' Daniel asked curiously.

Ron felt many things. He felt light and calm and like nothing could possibly go wrong, like he was Hermione Granger about to take an easy test, like he was racing snails or trying to catch a wingless snitch; but there was one thing that he felt more than anything else...

'I feel... I feel a strange desire to do this' and he walked coolly across the room, knelt down and ripped out a floorboard with his bare hands. Daniel watched in wonder as Ron dug around beneath the floorboards and finally emerged with a small key.

'She must keep one in here incase he gets locked in' Ron said, calmy, as he strolled to the door and unlocked it.

'Wait!' Daniel whispered 'She might be out there!'

'She's not. I can feel it. Now let's go!' Ron said with a sort of dont-be-a-worrier smile.

They climbed out of the attic, Ron casually jumped and Daniel carefully shimmied down. Daniel went to walk to his right but Ron quickly stopped him,

'We shouldn't go that way'

'Why not?' Daniel looked positively puzzled

'Just come this way!'

Ron led Daniel down the stairs leading into a small kitchen.

'What are you doing?' Daniel whispered, angrily, as Ron opened the fridge and looked around inside.

'SCORE' Ron said loudly as he opened the freezer and pulled out a massive tub of ice cream. He found a large spoon and began shoving ice cream into his mouth.

'Ron!'

'Oh, I'm so sorry!' Ron said through a mouth full of ice cream 'D'you want some?'

'No, I want to get the hell out of here' Daniel whispered, sincerely.

'Fine. Let's go this way!' Ron said as he led Daniel to a door.

'You can't be serious. You're actually bringing that with you?' Daniel asked as he fought to hide a laugh. But when Ron shrugged his shoulders and took another mouthful of ice cream, getting more on his face with every spoonful, Daniel let out a little laugh. Shaking his head in disbelief, Daniel picked up a spoon and shoved a huge lump of ice cream into his mouth.

'Wait. Why don't we just apparate from here?' Daniel asked as Ron practically skipped down the little hallway and through another door.

'Because there's something in here' Ron said in a matter-of-fact tone.

And, of course, Ron walked into what looked like a reading room, picked up a small box from a corner (Daniel wondered how he could have possibly noticed it) and dropped it into his pocket. Ron then said a quick spell to reverse any dark magic used on Mrs Balderdash, grabbed Daniel and apparated.
