CHAPTER 3: Looks

They entered the Gryffindor common room after dinner. In each class, they looked for anything out of the ordinary that might be good towards Ron. Nothing else had happened, except Ron's good work on charms and potions.

"I know you guys feel a little awkward- I just want you to know that there is NOTHING to be scared about!" Ron said. Harry and Hermione were silent. "Oh you've got to admit that points off Slytherin was-was- great!"

Harry couldn't help but smile a little. "Well.it was really cool."

"And really not real." Hermione said hotly. "We know that Snape wouldn't take points off Slytherin.especially something as small as talking. Warning maybe, but points off! If this keeps up-"

"We may just win the House cup." Harry said softly, putting his hand to his mouth as a grin slowly formed on his face. "And if we win the House cup, we may just win-"

"The Quidditch cup!" Ron and Harry said together, excitedly.

"Yes, and I bet that our team will be astonishingly fast all because of that necklace." Hermione said opening some books.

"I'd have no problem with that." Ron said firmly.

"Same here." Harry said.

"Oh-so you take Ron's side!" Hermione said huffily, slamming her books closed. "Well- this is so-so- you guys! 'Hey, we've met so many dangers these past 5 or 6 years so how bad can a necklace be that just changes *everything* to Ron's liking!'"

"Don't be so dramatic." Ron said eating some Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans.

"I'M NOT!" Hermione said indignantly, and left.

Ron whistled. "She needs to stop being a worrywart."

"Yeah." Harry said softly. Ron sensed that he was thinking about it. Ron ignored this and smiled.

"Yeah." He said firmly.

***

Ron opened his eyes. It was still dark outside, and everyone was asleep. Even Harry. He had a major headache and felt-energetic. He rubbed his arm to notice it felt hard. Like he actually had muscles. Ron smiled and turned over.

Unless.

The necklace was doing more of its job. And maybe he looked different. But he never wanted to look different.

Ron was too sleepy to think and let his thoughts slip away.

***

Ron got dressed, putting on his perfect fit robes and waited for Harry. He still had a major headache, it felt as if he were holding more thoughts then he could handle, maybe even thoughts that weren't suppose to be there. what was he thinking?

"Whoa!" Harry said all of the sudden.

"What?" Ron said, looking down at himself.

Harry pointed to his own hair, his face. "You look kind of- different." Ron took out a mirror from his trunk . "Whoaaa." Ron said. His hair wasn't very bright but was darkened. That was the only thing he could really notice. But he still looked different.

"The necklace! It changes your appearance- I think." Harry said.

Ron put the mirror away and looked at the necklace. "Lets see what Hermione thinks of this."

***

"Whoa!" Hermione exclaimed.

"That's what we said." Harry said, sitting on one of the chairs.

"Yes you look different but what really changed?" Hermione asked, scanning his face with her eyes.

"The hair-you like?" Ron smiled. "That's the only thing I noticed. I knew that necklace was good for something."

Hermione's face went serious. "If the necklace can change *your* appearance then it can change *others* appearances!"

"Hmm." Ron smiled at the idea of having a frog face on Malfoy.

"Ron! It can change *our* appearances!"

"No, no- only if Ron doesn't like the appearances on us." Harry said. There was a moment of silence. Harry and Hermione looked at Ron.

"What? I don't know!" Ron said. "Anyway, nobody really likes their appearance." Hermione was about to disagree when Ron said, "Yes, even you Hermione. Remember, you shrunk your teeth. And Harry. Even though that scar is-a kind of memory, aren't you tired of people staring at it with their mouths open?"

Harry and Hermione exchanged glances. Harry straitened his bangs over his scar.

"Look, If you like the way you are, I like the way you are. Remember, you're my friends. I don't want anything bad happening to you guys so these next days should be lucky for you too." Ron said warmly.

There was another moment of silence.

"I'll be in the library doing research." Hermione said. She turned on her heel.

"Bloody Hell!" Ron exclaimed a Hermione walked off. "Maybe I should curse you with large vampire fangs and a horn like a unicorn. Don't you walk away!" By the time Ron had said that, Hermione already had the portrait hole open.

"What about breakfast?" Harry shouted to her. Hermione had already left. "She's just jealous!" Ron said hotly. "She probably wants this necklace for herself! Needn't to worry about getting top scores or about taming her hair! Well I was the lucky one who found it so-in her face!"

"Ron. *I* was the one who found it."

Ron remembered that it had been Harry who saw the glimmering stone. "Oh.yeah.It's okay that I have it right?"

Harry nodded. "It's fine. I probably don't need it as much as you. I just hope this ends all good." Harry did a quick half smile and walked out of the portrait hole. Ron stood there for a moment thinking that if Harry had the necklace- his parents might of returned. Even if they were dead. And maybe if the necklace could do that, then the necklace would probably strong enough to make himself ruler of the world! How far could the necklace really go? World effecting? Universe effecting? There was a quick moment where Ron was sure the necklace was extremely dangerous.

*** "Teri, Ginny, Teri, Josie, Teri, Josie- shoot- score!" Ron clapped his hands, as the quaffle zipped past his ear.

"Come on, Ron, your making yourself look bad!" Josie laughed.

"Yeah okay!" Ron said laughing them mumbled "Whatever."

"I want to shoot this time!" Ginny said to Josie. "You and Teri get all the fun!"

"Teri! She's a great passer but not so well shooter!"

"I HEARD THAT!"

"One of you guys do it." Harry said on his broom, ducking when a bludger passed him. "And Ron- come on." Ron looked at Harry's eyes. He was talking about the necklace.

"Yeah come on, Ron, PUMP IT UP!" Josie said. Ron liked Josie's tomboy, strong spirit. But sometimes it was forcing and annoying. Ron always had the urge to say, "Be a woman!" partly because she seemed more boy then himself.

Teri on the other hand was more nice, girly and pretty. Ron couldn't figure out why she was related to Keri.

"Again, now." Harry tossed the quaffle. Teri caught it and passed it to Ginny who passed it to Josie who passed it to Ginny who dropped it and Teri caught it and aimed at the hole. Ron was ready to block. He watched the ball fly into the air. Then suddenly feeling energized he blocked it and it flew all the way to the end of the field.

"Whoa." Dean said.

Josie looked at Ron to the ball and back at Ron. "GOOD BLOCK!" Ron felt slightly happy but couldn't help wanting to block one of Josie's throws.

"Okay, times up. That's it for today." Harry said holding the snitch they all flew down and organized the balls. Harry came up to Ron. "Was that some of the necklace's doings?" Harry asked smiling.

"I guess.All of the sudden I felt strong and energized." Ron said. Teri went up to Ron.

"Now that we're on ground I see its true! You look much different!" Josie and Ginny went up to them too.

"She's right." Ginny said, frowning.

"You look kinda cuter." Josie said. Everyone looked at her. "What? I know that's what everyone here was thinking."

Ron smiled. "As much as I *love* you guys all examining my face, I have to-"

"What changed?" Josie asked.

"What?"

"What changed? Maybe your hair but what else?" Josie said examining him closely. Was this how Harry sometimes felt? Ron wondered.

"I don't know. Lets stand back from my face, people." Ron said as everyone backed away. Josie continued to stare so Ron decided to jog out of there. He hoped Josie drops the situation.
