Chapter 10: Stuck
About 3 months later, September
Ron apparated to the Train station, just in time when Lela was getting out. She smiled and ran to him and gave him a kiss and hugged him.
"Oh Ron, I've missed you so much." Lela said. "You didn't write me, why didn't you write me?"
"Oh, must have got lost in the Owl Post." Ron said. "How was China?"
"Great, I didn't understand a thing they said. But they got me great gifts to Glass figurines to clothing." They walked a little and the apparated to Lela's room in her mansion. Ron took the luggage and put it down by her bed she then hugged him and kissed him again.
"Okay, I have to get home." Ron said.
"Ron, we actually need to talk."
"Oh?" Ron asked letting go. He sat on his bed. Breakup? Well, it wouldn't be to bad, sometimes she got on his nerves.
"It's been awhile. We've been dating for two months, I've been gone for half the time, but it still counts." Lela said sitting next to him. "I think it's been long enough."
Ron looked at her perplexed. Then he understood and shifted his weight.. "Ohh... well, Lela-"
"No Ron, let me finish, dear." Lela said, stopping him. "I see it in your eyes that you haven't been happy in a very long while. I think you are avoiding going farther into this relationship."
Ron shifted uncomfortably. "O- kay?"
"No it's not okay. Look, whatever you left, whatever your wishing to happen I don't know but all I know is that you need to move on." Lela said and took Ron's hand and rubbed it. "I think we should move on- together." Ron bit his lip searching for something to say.
"Oh c'mon, I'm getting bored. It's your choice." Lela said irritably.
Ron gripped her hand and looked at her tired, waiting eyes.

Hermione smiled at Toni's achievement. "Very good, very good!"
"Wow, that's like eighth potion I've mastered." Toni said, cleaning the table off.
"Well, you know what time it is. To try the wand again." Hermione said. "No!" Toni said standing. "No, I'm not ready, I won't I won't."
"Come on, look I've taught you potions you will be taught next fall, and now you've got to learn some spells that you will be taught."
"Why can't I just wait, until I go to school?"
"You don't want to waste your time at school if you are unable to do the magic." Hermione said, taking his hand and leading him to his room.
"I can be home schooled. You can be my teacher, and I will not have to go to any school." Toni let go and sat on his bed.
"Oh Toni, I would simply love it, but you must go to school and make friends. I can not teach all the courses you need to be taught." Hermione said going into Toni's closet to find his wand. "You'll love school. And you'll also be away from here, if you don't like it here. You'll make friends, have fun inbetween classes, fight large trolls and collect points for your-" Hermione stopped. She picked up a box. "What's this?"
"It's my candy box. You know, all the candy I get and save to eat at another time." Toni said, making his bed neater.
Hermione opened it and inside was all sorts of glamorous candy. Chocolate Frogs, Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, Cockroach Clusters, all the candy Hermione could name in the wizarding world. "Toni! Why, have you any cavities?" Hermione said picking some up and dropping them back. "What are these, I have never seen them before?" Hermione picked up a red box and inside were small shiny squares.
"Oh, those are some candies that my friend made." Toni said casually and opened a drawer to reveal another box. "I eat one every day. They're very tasty."
"Toni! Why didn't you tell me? For all you know it can be- poisoned squares eating you from inside out and- and making you not able to do magic!"
Toni frowned. "I don't think my friend would ever do that to me."
"Well, even if they are not bad, you have to tell me what you eat!" Hermione said angrily picking up a box and pocketing it. "Are there any other red bad candies you have been eating on a daily basis?"
"No, Hermione, no." Toni said surprised at her reaction to this new candy. "But I have to say, the friend that gave them to me is coming in about a month with my Dad, and he isn't going to be too happy."
"I hope so!" Hermione said putting the box away. She couldn't believe that she was here for 1 and a half years, and she didn't know Toni's correct servings. Hermione was about to walk out the classroom when Toni reminded her about the wand. "Oh- we'll do it later." Hermione said and closed the door behind her.
***
Hermione strongly wanted to study the candy. They just seemed so bad and mysterious. She picked one up and tried. She couldn't. What she needed was a lab, Antonio's lab. But she was forbidden so long ago... Hermione then began to ponder what possibly could be kept in that lab. Secret potions? Secret Research? Secret ill making candy?
Hermione growled and dropped the candy back. She didn't want to taste it; what if it had some bad effect? Hermione walked into Toni's room, where he was reading one of the books she gave him. He looked up.
"What? Come to take the rest of my contaminated sweets?" Toni said angrily. "I do not understand why you can not believe that it is just real candy?"
"I'm sorry I can't. But do you notice how much better you are doing. You completed a whole potion in two weeks." Hermione said. "After complaining and whining and all."
Toni looked at her. He sighed. "I did. Maybe the cut down on that candy has helped." Toni admitted.
Hermione smiled. "Yes! Yes! You're doing so much better."
"I'm craving it all the time but whatever." Toni said. "I can complete a whole potion!"
"You sound not too glad."
"Yeah, I know, I should sound pissed." Toni said getting his book.
"Don't be angry at me. I can't believe you're mad over a candy."
Toni sighed and looked at Hermione. "I do not know either."

"Thank you again, Lavender on helping me water these plants." Maria said grabbing a towel and wiping her forehead. "I am head maid, not a gardener."
"Yes, and I'm just the teacher nanny person." Hermione said. "Do we need to pick the rest of these berries?"
"More berries? Mrs. Landeras did say pick all that can be found."
"She never had us pick berries before." Hermione complained.
"Friend is coming over today, and he loves these berries." Maria said grabbing her basket. "She said to cut a few roses too. You get those roses and I'll finish up these berries."
Hermione nodded and poured the berries into Maria's basket and went up to the rose bush. "Accio, scissors!" Hermione said and they came. She started cutting and when she saw one cut to closely to the rose she pinned it in her hair and hummed more. Across she saw Tina by the waterfall, stand and smile.
"Benjamin!"
Hermione stopped. Benjamin? Hermione looked up and saw Mr. Landeras walking besides a tall buff man come up and give her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Hermione was stunned that Mr. Landeras knew the man too... and that they seemed to of known each other for a long time!
Benjamin released and looked around and caught Hermione's eye. For a moment they just stared. Then his handsome face smiled showing his teeth, His familiar sea green eyes shining bright. His hair was brown and had flyaway ends. Hermione could have just melted on the spot, but the mysterious attached to the man let her stay standing tall. She looked away and continued to cut.
***
Ron finished up his desert. He looked at Lela, who was twirling her ice cream with her spoon and looking at a man behind the counter. Ron seriously didn't know what was going on. They've spent the last months just hanging out, barely talking and acting as if the were still together. 'How's the relationship going?' someone would ask. 'Oh, fine.' Ron's answer would be.
Ron had the feeling that Lela's dad strongly approved of their dating and that's why Lela kept at it. When Ron once asked what they were doing, she got confused. Ron wanted to end it so badly, but he had the feeling if he did, she'd come back and act as if it never had happened.
What Ron needed was to prove that they couldn't be together. Maybe catch her in the act with some other guy- the way she looked around Ron knew the flirtatious young women was searching for a little excitement in someone else. She would break any moment. Ron just needed to wait. He knew he couldn't trust her, or open up to her. They were stuck in this boring dating circle where nothing really mattered. He just needed her to budge.
"Ron, I'm going to go freshen up- and maybe head on home it's getting late." Lela said running her hands through her sleek hair while looking at the man behind the counter.
Ron smiled and tried to hide it. "Alright, I'll- get the bill."
Lela quickly got up without saying goodbye. Ron wiped his hands and saw in the corner of his eye the man getting up and disappearing into the same hall Lela had too.
Ron put the money and tip down and followed silently. He came to the hall and saw that it consisted of the bathrooms and a janitor's closet. Ron looked at the closet and heard noises. How would he explain how he came across to looking into a closet? Then Ron shook his head and opened it anyways.
Inside was a very shocked janitor cleaning his mop.
"Damn!" Ron yelled. "Have you seen a man and a woman the man works here and the woman wearing a very inappropriate red dress? No?" Ron closed the closet. He wasn't going to waste the rest of the night searching for them so he stomped out the restaurant murmuring, "She's paying next time..."
**********************************
If there's one thing in this story that I don't know its if Ron and Lela decided at the beginning of the chapter. I just came up to the conclusion that it doesn't matter. If they did, that's all Lela wanted and go's on flirting with other men. If they didn't, then Lela just sticks around so that her father wouldn't know she was flirting with other men. You decide. Next chapter it'll be all about Hermione and Benjamin. Thanks for the reviews, EvilMicella glad that you are still reading!!!
