Part 7 Ron and the Purple Acne

One day Ronald Weasly woke up to find that he had turned purple. He jumped out of bed and stubbed his toe on the floor. When he had finished hopping around the room looking for his slippers he shouted at Harry.

'HELP!' he shouted. 'I'm purple!'

'I know,' said Harry. 'I've been watching you for the past 1/2 hour.'

'What shall I do?' asked Ron.

'You could jump out the window.' Suggested Harry. To demonstrate how this was done, he proceeded to jump out himself.

Ron dashed into the girls dormitories, looking for Hermione. Unfortunately, he walked in on the girls changing. Several girls screamed 'A BOY!!!' and dived out of the window to join Harry on the path below. Hermione hid in a cupboard and refused to come out unless Ron shut his eyes. Ron didn't shut his eyes, but she came out anyway because she was hungry.

'My god! Ron!' she said. 'You're purple!'

'I have noticed.' Said Ron.

'You must have Purple Acne!' she said. 'It is a rare disease caused by eating too much chocolate.'

Ron pointed out that he hadn't eaten any chocolate for the past month as he'd been on a diet. Eventually Hermione concluded that SOMETHING had caused Rons Purple Acne, which seemed to cover everything.

'The question is,' said Ron. 'How shall I cure it?'

'You could look in Hogwarts; a History!'

'I knew you'd say that.'

'Then why did you ask?'

'Because you're clever.'

'I can't be very clever if I can only think of one answer to everything.'

'Yes, you could.'

'No, I couldn't!'

'Could!'

'Don't argue with me! I'm cleverer then you!'

'Exactly! You are clever so I ask you questions.'

'But if you already know the answer…'

'ACK!' shouted Ron in frustration.

As usual in this story, Ron and Hermione ended up in the Library reading Hogwarts; a History. Not surprisingly they didn't find anything. Hermione suggested they looked in 'Purple Acne; a History' but when they asked Madame Pince, she looked at them as if they were mad, so instead they went back to the girls dormitories. Hermione fetched her skin care products and they put them on Ron's face.

Ron tried: 7 face masks, 2 bottles of Clean and Clear, 4 tubes of Clearasil, 19 Spot-off facial wipes and a king-size bottle of Zit-Blitz. His face remained as purple as a very purple thing.

'We could use foundation,' said Hermione.' That might hide some of the purple-ness.'

It took 4 bottles of liquid foundation and some loose powder to even begin to make a change. Ron was looking like Frankenstein's Monster, with a hint of purple. It wouldn't have been quite so bad if Ron hadn't got red hair, as Hermione pointed out. So they dyed it purple too.

It was MEANT to go purple, except Hermione failed to read the packet, which clearly stated that the dye should only be used on blonde hair. Ron's hair turned an icky browny green which no amount of washing could remove.

It was in this hour of need that Ron remembered something very important.

'Hermione,' he said. 'We are wizards, we can use magic to cure me!' So saying, he whipped out his wand and pointed it at his face, he said the first spell that came into his head. 'ENGORGIO!!!' he yelled. In minuets Ron's head had swollen to the size of a tractor wheel. He had said the Growth Charm.

'RON!!!' screamed Hermione. 'RON! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!!!!'

'Something wrong.' Said Ron.

'YOU LOOK AWFUL!!' screamed Hermione.

'I had realised. Can you help me?'

'I'll try.' Said Hermione, promtly forgetting the counter spell. Just then Harry climbed up the drainpipe, through the window, said the counter spell and jumped out the window again. Rons head shrank again. And-

'RON LOOK!' shouted Hermione. 'Your not purple any more!!!'



A/n That was very strange. Possibly the strangest yet. I have had enough of Ron fighting un-life threatening diseases. Next chapter, I think he shall kill a monster. Or meet an Exciting Person, Elijah Wood, for example. Please write a review and tell me what you think.
