Ron's POV
Ron couldn't believe that Hermione asked him out! Now he wouldn't have to go to the dance by himself. He was wearing a black tux. The other guys were too. They are also pinning roses the color of their dates dresses. They had to beg their girls to tell them what colors they were wearing. Harry's and Seamus' were the hardest to find. Blue and sea green roses are very rare. They finally found them. They also are giving the girls a bouquet of roses with each of the colors of roses in them. They were very pretty.
The dance was in two weeks. Only seventh years could go. If a seventh year asked a younger year only fifth and sixth could go.
The Dream team had to do the decorating. It was their detention.

They were all in the dungeons. They were working on veristiniam. They were waiting for the potion to finish boiling. They had ten minutes left to boil. They were all joking and laughing. Professor Snape had become nicer to the group because, one, they were all part of the Order of the Phoenix. Two, Draco and Pansy were part if the group. Three, they were the best group he had ever had. They were smart and made very good potions.
Anyway, they split up to go play a trick on the students. They were going to add food dye to the potion. It didn't do anything to it but change the color. They all came back to their caldron and put it in a bottle to be graded. Professor Snape was having a fit.
"Red Crabbe, Red! How on Earth did you manage to turn it red? Never mind, don't tell me."
"Orange, Gayle, orange. Didn't I say that one bat spleen was enough?"
"Green, Finnigan. Why green? Didn't I say 3 times counter clockwise and 4 times clockwise?"
"Blue, Patil. Why did you add Moonstone? That isn't even one of the ingredients!"
"So the Dream Team was the only group that could do it correctly? Will one of you tell me why the others couldn't?"
Malfoy raised his hand "Sir we read all the instructions three times. Then we read each one...
"Why is your hand blue Mr. Malfoy? Everyone in the team hold out your hand? Just as I suspected, Ginny and Malfoy have blue on their hands. Harry and Pansy have green. Neville and Lavender have red and Hermione and Ron have orange. Please speak to me after class so I can hand out your detentions. Class dismissed."
The Dream Team sat there till everyone was gone. They all walked up to the desk and stood around it.
"I am appalled that you would do this to me. There is 3 weeks to prepare for the dance. You will have to set up for it. It will be a day before the dance. Don't worry the people will eat outside for two days. You will do this without any magic. You may go now." Snape said pointing to the door.

That was to be their detention. They hated it but at least it was better than some they have done.
Ron stood up and stretched. He said goodnight to the Dream Team and went up to his room. He lay in bed and pulled the drapes around him. He fell asleep in about 5 minutes.
