I'm not a Ron fan, but this is a drabble written for my ravenhood at the Raven's nest and I enjoy Ron torture so...


Ron walked down Diagon alley, kicking a stone around, he was incredibly bored. And hungry too! Being Ron and, Having not eaten since an hour ago, he was practically starving. He kicked the stone hard and it hit the side of a shop. He looked up and saw exactly what he had wanted to see: A sweet store.

For some reason, Carstair's candy store had never appealed to him before, but being so hungry, he decided to give it a look. He entered the shop and gasped, it must have been twice the size of Honeydukes, and it was empty, not another person inside except the old man behind the counter. As he looked around, he found another surprise, everything, from chocolate frogs to cauldron cakes, they were all half price!!

He loaded up on sweets before taking them to the counter. He dumped all of his purchases on the table. The oldman didn't even look up from behind his newspaper. He coughed. Still no reaction. He rang the bell on the counter and the man got up. Finally some service! But instead, the man went round to the back and Ron heard him pick up a muggle fellytone, or whatever it was called.

"Hello?" He said in a crackly voice and when no one anwsered, slammed it down, muttering about crazy children, he sat back down, picked up his newspaper and carried on reading. Ron was now starting to get annoyed. He spoke and the man didn't anwser, he tried again, and again, and again, each time louder until eventually he was shouting.

"Ok, ok, no need to shout sonny, I'm not deaf." The man said and put down the newspaper. "Now what do you want?"

"I want to buy these sweets." Ron said and the man stood up.

"Well, this is a sweet shop, I'm not stupid." He said. "You kids today, don't know how spoilt you are!" He said before breaking into a coughing fit, all over Ron's sweets, Ron, extremely disgusted, backed away and ran out the door, vowing never to go back there, no matter how hungry he was...
