Ronald Weasley was sitting in the library. He was using the books, just not for studying. At the moment he was banging his withered Herbology textbook against his forehead. He was at the moment very upset.

Why does Harry have to get everything? He thought bitterly. Harry got fame, fortune, he became school champion, and I haven't complained, have I? Of course that isn't enough for the great Mr. Potter. No, he has to go and take the girl that I fancy. Your best friend isn't supposed to betray you! He's turning into another Lockhart. Of course that's not the only bad thing. Hermione has to go and tell me she doesn't have any feelings for me! The least she could've done was let me down easy! Some Christmas this turned out to be.

Ron got up and started to wander the castle aimlessly. He even stopped to talk to portraits. As a matter of fact Sir Cadogan, a belligerent knight on the higher floors, ran into him and the two of them had a very interesting conversation. Surprisingly enough no one bothered to watch what they were saying around him.

"Hello Sir Cadogen."

"Avast you treacherous rogue! Wait...have we met before perchance?"

"Yeah. I'm Ron Weasley/ I used to ask you for directions to the North Tower in my third year. So what's new?"

"Ah, so much there is! But none I may speak! I have been sworn to secrecy so that plundering villains do not hear!"

"Erm, right. I'm not a plundering villain so could you tell me?"

"Only if we engage in a duel to the death my dear sir!"

Ron failed to see the point in this, as if he died he wouldn't find out anything, and if he lived Sir Cadogen wouldn't be able to tell him anything.

"I value my life, thanks." He replied.

"I think I'm going to go now."

"Wait! No! Perhaps I may divulge some information about the secret meeting in the Charms classroom! Does good sir wish to hear?"

"Yes I do! What's it about Sir?"

"A secret weapon is hidden in the forest and they plan on a brave and noble quest to bring it to the castle."

Ron took off running forgetting about his other problems until he reached the fourth floor. Then swearing he turned back around. Quietly he made his way up to the dorms. Frustrated, he began to beat his pillow into a mass of feathers. Muttering to himself he sat down to dinner and forgot all of his worries in his plate of food.

Sighing he looked at Dumbledore who was deep in conversation with Professor Trepur. They appeared to be quite serious and Dumbledore had a look of surprise etched on his face. However he soon began to look at the Gryffindor table and caught Ron looking at him.

Ron was extremely confused, and the two people who would have been able to cure him of this condition happened to not be on speaking terms with him.

Authors Note: I am back from my vacation! I hope you all missed me as well.

If I have you on my author alert list I will know when you post and there is no need to ave me a review telling me this. I am grateful for reviews, but not non-reviews. One review away from reacing the 150 mark!

Desipoplover13: I love the fact that you my beta my stories and you are excellent at it but do not go to create that much differnce. I have multiple reasons for the false panic and by changing it you are not helping. Thanks for the most part though.

MellyV: I understand the time thing. I just like to read the stories of people who read my stories. Though it can be dramatic without server failures and beta readers misscommunications. Thanks for still reviewing my story despite your tight time scheldule.

Trumpet-Geek: Hello again! Glad your liking the story. Thats one of the reasons I write it.

The Shadows: Amazing review! I will try and keep in mind what you said while I write the next chapter (some of these are pre-written) and take no offense. I often do the same thing myself.

Ronkid8829: You might want to read the authors note. Glad that Desi is working out for you. She is the best.

SiriuzRulz14: Don't worry, we have all been busy.
