-Ron-
"So that's why he was acting so odd after I got back last night," Ron thought bitterly. After leaving the hall he had walked aimlessly and finally ended up in the Astronomy Tower again. Luckily there was no one there, so he sat in the same spot he had been in only last night and stared out the window some more.
He saw Hagrid walking towards a crate behind his hut. "Good luck," Ron muttered to whoever was in Care of Magical Creatures next. He stared out the window for a little while longer then decided to bang his head against the wall.
"That can't be good for your face, Weasley, and I really don't think you need to look -any- worse," a voice said from behind him. Ron groaned but didn't bother to turn around. He knew who it was.
-Draco-
Draco left the hall and instead of heading towards the dungeons to get his things for class went to the Astronomy Tower. He had a feeling Ron would be there, but didn't know why he wanted to go. "Stupid subconcious, making me go all over the castle," he muttered and continued to walk.
He reached the Astronomy Tower and just stood there for a few moments. He took in the sad look on the other boy's face. His silent gazing was startled as Ron started banging his head against the wall. Draco, who's mouth tends to act on it's own, said "That can't be good for your face, Weasley, and I really don't think you need to look -any- worse." Ron groaned and leaned against the wall.
Draco had a sudden urge to go place a hand on the other boy's shoulder to try and comfort him, but squashed the idea and said, "Just thought you'd like to know. Anyway, if you're going to go to class, you might want to leave. Unless of course you've strayed to living in the Astronomy Tower, in which case I think I'd have to talk to Professor Sinistra..."
Ron silently stood up and stalked past Draco. Draco smirked to himself as Ron muttered, "Thanks." The smirk disappeared as he added, "Prat."
-Ron-
Ron went to get his books, fuming because he felt betrayed by his "friends" and because Malfoy just couldn't turn down an opportunity to make him feel worse. He was muttering under his breath about what a prat he was as he entered the Potions classroom. He veered off from his usual seat near Harry and Hermione in the back and sat near the front where no one usually sat. Ron was pretty sure it was because it was at the front of the Gryffindor side of the room and no Gryffindor in his or her right mind would sit any closer to Snape than they had to.
Snape gave him a calculating look mixed in with his usual scowl but it quickly disappeared and the lesson began.
-Draco-
Draco walked into the Potions classroom a couple minutes late and out of breath. Snape glared at him momentarily then went back to the lesson. Most of the Gryffindors whispered quietly at the fact that he could get away with being late without losing any points, but Draco sent them all a superior smirk.
He had ran out of the Astronomy Tower just a couple minutes after Ron had left but it was quite a long way from the tower to the dungeons, so he had actually ran.
His eyes strayed away from the board where Snape was writing up a complicated potion that they would be expected to make by the end of class to the other side of the room. Potter and Granger were looking at the board but sending occasional goofy looks at each other, then a sad look at Ron, then back to the board. The other Gryffindors were hastily scribbling down the potion instructions, but Ron sat alone at the front of the group.
"Must be desperate to stay away from the other two if he's sitting there," Draco thought. But then again, he didn't really blame him. His friends had made a prat out of him.
He eventually started to pay attention to what he was supposed to be doing during the class and sighed as he realized he was actually going to have to put effort in. "Damn," he muttered and started to get out his quill to copy down the instructions.
