Chapter 11-Troubled Ron
"Curse that damn Snape the poophead."muttered Ron, as he walked down deeper into the dungeons to get to the storeroom. "think he's all that just because he's a POTIONS master. "Ron snorted and rolled his eyes. "Big deal. It's not like just because he's a Hogwart's teacher, he can save the world or something." Ron thought for a while and looked around to see if anyone was there. "Not like Captain Oreos"he added softly.
A sudden noise startled Ron. Ron looked around again. The dungeons were even darker as he walked deeper and deeper in. There were lots of spider webs around. Ron walked cautiously and looked at where he was stepping so he wouldn't step on any spiders, if there were any. He then heard that sound again. He was getting closer and closer to the sound.
Ron stopped as he saw many doors on one side of the dungeon. He leaned on each of them until he heard the sound that he heard just now. It was the sound of someone in great misery. Ron opened the door slowly, careful not to make any noise in case whatever thing that had made the sound might attack him. It was dark inside and it stank. A torch was lit somewhere deeper in the room. Ron tiptoed in and crouched behind a wall that separated the two rooms. He could see a faint outline of someone, or something in there with something in it's hand.
Ron squinted in the dark as he tried to get a closer look at what it was. He suddenly felt something brush against his neck. Ron turned around slowly, afraid to see whatever he was about to see that touched him.
He almost fainted from fright. Sitting on top of his shoulder was the second largest spider he had seen in his life. (Since he had already met Aragog. But this spider was much smaller then Aragog.) Ron wanted to scream but he couldn't because he was afraid that the thing in the next room might find him and eat him up or something. Ron bit his knuckles hard to prevent his scream from coming out.
The spider started to make it's way into Ron's robe and crawled inside. Ron shook and trembled when he felt the spider's legs digging into his bare skin. The spider crawled deeper and deeper inside. Ron's knuckles were starting to bleed as he was biting them very hard. When the spider suddenly bit Ron with its sharp pincers, Ron jumped four feet into the air and let out a piercing scream.
"YEEEOOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!! GET IT OFF ME! GET IT OFF ME!"
Ron yelled as loud as he could and started shaking his whole body like some funky dancing techno freak. The spider dropped out of his robe in alarm and scurried into the darkness. Ron couldn't stop shaking his limbs wildly. He suddenly remembered the 'thing' in the next room and quickly cupped his mouth. He squatted down and prayed in the name of Captain Oreo's that the thing was somehow deaf and didn't hear him.
But it did. It turned around, its face concealed by its long hair. All the blood drained from Ron's face. His eyes wanted to pop out from his eye sockets and Ron tried his best not to pee in his pants. The thing slowly made its way to Ron. Ron was about to scream when the thing's face came into view in the ray of light.
"Heather?!" Ron gasped in disbelief.

"Great..."sighed Harry. "It's the first term of the year and Gryffindor loses house points."
"Mmm huh."nodded Hermione, her books huddled to her chest as they made their way to Herbology class. "Better not say anything to Ron."
"Urgh, tell me about it. Ron- yoewch!"
Harry stopped speaking as Hermione jabbed him on the ribs. He could see Ron walking towards them, looking very sullen.
"Hey, Ron, so... how many house points did Snape deduct?"asked Hermione, trying to sound casual, but a hint of strainity could be heard.
"Five."said Ron, not looking up at them, a little black cloud hovering over his head.
"Whoa, five?!" The words spilled out of Harry's mouth. "The mates are practically going to murder you if they found out what you did!"
Ron looked up slowly, and Harry knew he had made one of the largest mistake of his life.
"YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT, HARRY? YOU ARE THE EVER POPULAR AND GREAT HARRY-MR-NICE-GUY! TRY PUTTING YOURSELF IN SOMEONE ELSE'S SHOES AND YOU'LL SEE WHAT IT'S LIKE!"screamed Ron, his face all red and steam was coming out from his ears.
Hermione was stunned for a moment. "Err...Ron? Calm down, man. It's not that bad."
Ron spun towards Hermione. Hermione's eyes widened as she saw the terrible look on Ron's face.
"AND YOU, HERMIONE-MISS-KNOW-IT-ALL! ALWAYS TRYING TO ACT SMART AND STUFF. YOU SHOULD TRY TO SHUT YOUR SMART MOUTH SOMETIMES!"
"And you know what?" Ron added, lowering his voice. "Maybe I should find new friends. Friends who actually really care about me!"
With that, he stomped away to the Herbs garden. Harry looked at Hermione, a confused look on his face.
"What the hell was that all about?"he asked Hermione.
She looked back at him, and whispered, "I have no idea, Harry. I really don't."
