Harry went into the common room, only to find Dean and Seamus, sitting and copying his potions essay. When they saw him, they cracked up laughing, which was kind of strange, even for Harry.
"Hey, I worked a long time on that!" said Harry, who couldn't help himself but to smile. He had only spent about 30 minutes on it.
"Oh, surry Harry, I thought this was Hermione's paper. Didn't even think that another person had done theirs." Seamus explained, trying to stay on that topic and not talk about what they really wanted to.
"You guys don't happen to know where Ron is, do you?" Harry said. Much to his surprise, they fell out of their chairs laughing, and Dean finally had to kick Seamus hard in the stomach to make him stop.
"No.. (laugh)... We haven't seen (laugh) Ron around (laugh) anywhere!" Dean said. Harry thought Ron might have been the center of Fred and George's jokes that Hermione was talking about.
"Huh. I think I'll go find them." Harry said, walking out of the portrait.
"I think Harry just left..." Seamus said.
"Yeah, to find 'Loverboy' Ha, ha, ha!!!!!" Dean replied. They stopped laughing and looked at eachother.
"Ron!" They said in unison and got up.
Harry had just turned a few corners when he ran into Hermione.
"Hello. No one seems to know where Ron is!" Harry said.
"I think he's actually in... Detention. With Snape. Yeah, he was caught fighting with Draco." Hermione replied. "Let's go play some chess." She said, dragging him back into the common room. When they were there, Harry declared he'd go get Ron's chess kit, and headed up the dormitory stairs. Hermione turned on her heel to face Seamus and Dean.
"We forgot where he would be going!" Seamus said.
"He has to be watched! He's getting curious!" Hermione said anxiously. Harry came down the stairs as she was giving Dean and Seamus the evil eye.
*****
An hour later, everyone had returned back to the common room. Except of course, Ron. Harry had quit playing chess and was now pacing around, asking about Ron to anyone that came in. 'His Detention was probably over by now! What's taking him so long?' he thought. He had yelled at Hermione for saying that Cho probably had fun in Hogsmeade with someone else, but that got him started again. Fred and George had started everyone at exploding snap, to get him to shut up. Fred thought this would be a perfect time to introduce their new creation, a product that they had not yet found a name for, but made you feel very light-headed.
"Those are drugs!" Hermione screamed when Ginny tried to kiss Dean on the lips several minutes after taking one. "Muggles banned those from most countries!"
"True, but wizards didn't!" Fred said. Hermione rolled her eyes and stormed up to the dormitories.
It seemed to Harry that everyone was having fun, and the common room was awfully crowded. He decided that he would go look for Ron himself, if no one else did. No one noticed him sneak out, and he raced down the corridors to the dungeons, where Snape's detention would be. He passed the entrance hall, the Charms classroom and into the dungeons. He looked into Snape's classroom, only to find Snape singing along to a sappy love song by some boy band. After trying to keep himself from laughing, Harry decided that Snape would never do that in front of Ron.
Slowly, Harry walked back. He stopped at the Charms classroom. 'Maybe Ron's detention wasn't with Snape. Maybe it was someone else...' His thoughts were interrupted by a girls laughter. Not just any girl, though. It was Cho. Harry knew that laugher from anywhere. His blood boiled with anger. 'Yes, I bet around that corner will reveal who the culprit is, who my victim is.' Harry thought and he felt strangely like a Basilisk. He walked slowly forward. Cho laughed again, loudly this time. Harry brought himself near to the corner and stopped. 'What if they saw me and he dodged?' So he decided to just wait for them. Cho and Ron neared the corner.....
