Quite a lot of time had passed by since Majie had met the blond Slytherine boy, Draco. She had nearly forgotten about her odd encounter with him when she sat down with Ron at lunchtime.
Ron immediately began grumbling about how he couldn't get his potion for Snape's class to come out right.
"The color is supposed to be bright green, but it always keep turning a dull yellow!" He spoke.
"Read over to me what you did, each step." Majie instructed. He reread his procedure for her and half way through she interrupted him.
"Ooh, I know what you did! The lacewings, you said you put them in at the same time as the lime peel, but you're supposed to put in the wings, then wait 3 minutes, and then put in the bits of peel. You were mostly just blanching out the color by cooking the peel too long I think. I don't think it would have totally affected the usefulness of the potion."
"Oh."
"I still don't understand why Snape made such a big deal over a yellow potion that is supposed to be green, it's really just a slight change!" Majie said, feeling proud of her quick wit to be able to figure out Ron's potion problem.
"Well it's because his name starts with a S and ends with a N-A-P-E"
Majie laughed. "What did he say to you again?"
"He threw a fuss, told me he was going to feed it to my 'yelping owl' and see if it lived. And then he told me if I didn't do it right tomorrow he would fail me."
"Ugh. The old bloke! I'd like to have a word with him. In fact I might just do that. He has no right to yell at you, nor threaten your owl Pig like that."
"We agree whole-heartedly" Chimed in a red headed duo approaching Majie and Ron from behind. Majie smiled at them.
"Look at what we did!" Exclaimed George. "We took the left over cookies from the other night and made a new Weasley creation!"
"Oh boy, what did you two do?" Questioned Majie. Fred pulled out a medium sized bag that contained one cookie, setting it down on the table. Ron took that moment to lean away from the table.
"We were inspired by Majie during our game of exploding snap! Those cookies, when brought too close to your face, start to spark and then explode, sending chocolate pieces up your nostrils!!" Fred spoke excitedly.
Just as he finished his explanation, Draco, Crabe, and Goyle, passed by the table. Draco, in a swift movement, lifted the cookie up from its spot on the table and tossed it towards Crabe and Goyle.
"Hey!" Shouted George. "That's ours!"
"Oh really? Well too bad, hope you don't starve. I know your mum and dad can't afford too many things. I'm surprised your father can make enough money to feed the entire litter of you."
Ron fumed, but Majie held him back. "It's not worth it." She said, before lowering her voice. "Besides, that's Fred and George's creation this might be fun." Ron stopped struggling and smirked smugly.
"My offer still stands Majenta" Draco said before bowing and turning towards his friends.
In a fumble Crabe and Goyle tore the cookie in half. Streams of sparks erupted from the halves as they brought it to their faces. In a burst the halves exploded, and flying chocolate flew straight up Crabe and Goyle's noses.
Everyone at the Gryffindor table burst into laughter at the three boys speed off, Draco looking back at Majie once.
"What did he mean 'his offer'?" Ron turned to Majie.
"Oh nothing, he's a jerk. Forget about it, he's just trying to get a reaction out of you."
Ron nodded, still slightly confused, but said, "alright," before
changing the subject.

I'm so excited! This has been the most reviews I've gotten at one time! I should write about ROn getting sexual more often.. *evil laughter* Thanks so much to everyone who has reviewed so far, here's the latest:
LetaBear: Yeah I do think I might have made Ron a bit too emotional, but, well
he's in love! If you notice though, he never does actually cry in front of anyone,
just is frustrated with himself and holding back his tears. =P
Sarah Christine: THAT IS THE FUNNIEST REVIEW I'VE EVER GOTTEN!!! It took me
a few minutes to stop laughing after reading what you wrote... thank you a ton
=D
SpiffyAwesometon: Thank you lots and lots and lots! I'm really not THAT talented,
but I try, hehe. (cute name btw)
Elf Princess Bloom: Wow, I think you've managed to review every chapter of my
story! So exciting!
Ineedaname: hehe, sorry there was no "controling" being done in this
chapter... I promise Ron will have more in the future though! I mean, it's a
pretty nice mental picture with him.. *coughs* hehehe... and I'll stop there.
++ As a side note, I thought I would mention that I found the word and meaning to the spell Waddiwasi in the Spell Origins Book at: http://www.angelfire.com/hi5/spellorigins
