Draco Gets His Just Desserts

On her way back to the common room Hermione thought about what she had just seen. She knew that Ron had a special talent for telekinesis; that one day in class had proved it. But just how good had he gotten? Was his special talent a gift? Or was it a curse? Would Ron use his powers wisely, or would he abuse them? These questions swam in her brain as she ascended the Gryffindor tower steps. First chance I get, she resolved, I'm going straight to the library to research this sort of thing. She glanced at her charmed watch. "Fifteen minutes until Care of Magical Creatures!" it announced. She groaned. Yet another class with the Slytherins. Fifteen minutes...enough time to go ask Ginny what in the world she was talking about the other day, she thought as she traveled towards the fifth-years dormitory.

Hermione reached the door and knocked on it lightly. When nobody answered, she pushed the door open. The only one in the room was a small redheaded figure staring intently at a picture.

"Ginny?" asked Hermione. The redhead quickly stuffed the picture behind her pillow.

"Hey Herm!" she called back. "What's up?"

"Nothing, really." said Hermione crossing the room to Ginny's bed. "I was wondering what you were talking about the other day…something I can help you with?"

"Ohhhhh," said the fifth year. "I was just going to tell you that…I finally dumped him!"

"Really?" said Hermione, her eyes widening. "You dumped Colin Creevy? I thought the day would never come! What made you do it?" Ginny shrugged.

"He was too clingy. I told him we would be better off as friends."

"So," Hermione said, grinning wickedly, "if you dumped Colin…then who is that behind your pillow?"

"Nobody!" squealed Ginny, attempting to cover it.

"Let me see!"

"No way!" After a five-minute struggle, Hermione finally retrieved the slightly bent picture frame. It was a very nice shot of Harry waving at the camera.

  "I thought you said you were over him." Ginny shrugged.

"I thought so too…but the whole time I was with Colin I kept thinking of Harry…." Hermione's eyes widened even further, if that was possible.

"Oh wow, Gin. You're crazy for him!" Ginny gave her a tiny smile.

"I think…I might be." Hermione glanced at her watch. "Five minutes until Care of Magical Creatures!"

"Ooh I got to go now. Hagrid said he was introducing us to a new creature today…and you know how that's going to turn out..."

"Bye Hermione!" said Ginny. Hermione walked towards the door, and turned after reaching it.

"Do you…do you want me to ask Harry anything?"

"No, no that's okay," said Ginny quickly. "You go have fun getting bitten or whatever Hagrid wants you to do today." Hermione smiled.

"Bye Gin."

Four minutes later Hermione reached Hagrid's hut. She slipped into her place beside Harry and Ron.

"Listen, Ron," began Hermione.

"I'm sorry," they both said at once. Harry sighed.

"Well I'm glad that's over with! So, what were you guys arguing about anyway?"

"Nothing!" both teenagers said quickly. Hermione started laughing but stopped when she saw Hagrid appear out of his cabin with his large crate.

"Oh no…remember last time he introduced us to a new animal? Those fwoopers were terrible!"

"Yeah and McGonagall didn't accept my homework excuse of temporary insanity," said Ron grinning.

"I promised yeh a new creature today so here yeh go..." said Hagrid pulling the lid off of his wooden crate. As soon as he had done so a swarm of round custard colored animals bounded to the floor.

"Puffskeins!" shrieked Parvati. All of the girls immediately reached for one to cuddle.

"How cute!" cooed Lavender. Hagrid opened his mouth to lecture about puffskeins, but then closed it.

"Ah let 'em enjoy 'emselves. Not hard teh take care of puffskeins anyway."

"This is a surprise, Hagrid." Said Hermione smiling at the gigantic man. "I can't believe you've changed!" Hagrid gave her a wink.

"It was Dumbledore's idea. I would've had yeh studyin' quintapeds but he suggested these things." Hermione shivered at the thought. She favored puffskiens far more than quintapeds. Besides, the puffskeins were actually cute!

Ron tossed the humming puffskein back to Harry, but his mind was hardly on the small ball of fluff. He wanted to try out his new power. How to do it without anyone noticing? He decided to concentrate on a black book bag lying close by. Ron was amazed when the backpack slid over with almost no effort. He smiled until he heard that familiar cold drawl. 

   "What are you doing with my backpack Weasley?" asked Draco.

"Um...no-nothing.." Ron's mind frantically searched for a reasonable explanation.

"Admiring the fine leather? Bet you've never even touched something as expensive as my bag."

"Shut up Malfoy!" exclaimed Hermione as she and Harry appeared next to Ron.

"Oh so now you've got your little mudblood girlfriend fighting your battles for you? You're parents won't be proud, you dirtying their pure blood. Oh I forgot, you're nearly muggles anyway..."

"TAKE THAT BACK MALFOY!" all three teens screamed at him at once. Harry and Draco started a shouting match as their classmates backed away. Draco was so caught up yelling at his enemy he didn't notice that his shoelaces were busily tying themselves together. Harry lunged for Draco's throat and the pale blonde tried to dodge him by stepping backwards. Unfortunately, he hadn't noticed that his shoes were firmly knotted together. He fell backwards with a painful thump. All of the Gryffindors doubled up with laughter as they pointed at a very red faced Draco.

"You did this Weasley!" he snarled.

"Me?" Ron was the picture of innocence. "I haven't been near your shoelaces!"

"I know it was you!" shouted Draco. "You and your stupid teleki-whatsis!" Hermione gasped as she remembered what she had seen earlier that day. Had Ron tied Draco's shoelaces with his mind? After what she had seen through the crack of Professor Rosenburg's classroom she couldn't be sure. Hermione's mind was jerked back to the present when she saw Malfoy (with his knotted shoelaces too, mind) make a flying leap at Ron. Luckily a large hand picked him up at the last minute.

"Disturbin' my class again Malfoy?" asked and angry Hagrid. "Don' want a repeat performance of las' year do yeh?" Last year Hagrid had finally snapped and locked Malfoy in his cabin with an open crate full of Billywigs. Draco had been giddy and levitating for hours. The seventh year stared coldly back at his professor.

 "No," he said. Hagrid quickly dropped him to the ground. Two minutes later the bell rang to go to the next class. Harry, Hermione, and Ron gathered their things and trudged indoors. The two boys would be going to Divination while Hermione would be heading towards Arithmacy. As they neared the end of the hallway a certain blonde haired someone was barring the way.

"Move, Malfoy," said Ron. Draco just sneered.

"Why don't we finish what we started outside Weasley?"

"MOVE, idiot!" said Ron, attempting to push past the other boy.

"Are you afraid? Too scared to take me on now that your half giant freak isn't around to protect you?" 

"Don't call him that!" said Hermione as she and Harry stepped to Ron's aid. The red-haired boy pushed them back.

"I can handle this," he said, pulling out his wand.

A/N Ooh a cliffie?! Maybe…. anyway lemme answer some reviews to show how grateful I am. (Some of them are screwed up for some reason…all squished together. Stupid word.)

~ circinius  - Thanks! Here's the next part…just as you've been waiting for!~

~ Sabrina Potter- Hmmmm will she get Ron or not? I think Willow poses a threat….ah but time will tell won't it?~            

  ~Omega- Thanks for your review!~   ~Taya J Weasley, The Author- hmmmm they might. I think Tara might make a guest appearance, but I'm not sure about the rest of the scoobies. I wasn't really planning on a crossover fic. It's more like I'm "borrowing" Willow for this HP fic. J ~  ~Jackie- Wow thanks! I personally think she's very out of character….but that's because I'm better at writing HP fanfics than Buffy. J I'm glad you like her though! ~

~Michelle Ishida- Yes sidekicks rule! I figured we needed a few more fics where Ron was the star.~

~hpfanficlover07- Thanks! I'm glad you like it J~

~B'Elanna- Yay! I'm glad SOMEbody liked the chapter! Hehe.~

~Lilith- Tara! Yayyy! Hehehe. I'm glad you think this is getting better! I'd hate for it to get worse! J~ ~Lady Norbert- *sigh* sometimes boys can be so stupid…especially if their names are Ron Weasley! I promise he'll figure out SOMEthing soon…will it be what we want him to figure out? Who knows? I can't wait for the Yule Ball chapter though (although I don't think I'm calling it a Yule Ball J). That one will be fun to write! ~ ~Dichotomy- Hmm yeah that sounds about right. I wonder if she's ever going to go back to college? Well in this fic she's 18 okay? J Not that Ron wouldn't shoot for a 20 year old…but I think 18 is better for him.~

~Now review! Yeah! You know you want to!~
