Ron

Ron was sitting on an overstuffed couch in the common room. There were two other people in there with him. But they were seventh year girls. They were laughing about something or other and the taller one had a really annoying laugh. He rubbed his head starting to feel a headache. He got up and walked up to the dormitory. There was no one in here. Sighing half from relief and disappointment, he sat down on his bed. It was right by the window and looking out he let his mind wander. It was rainy today and if fit his mood perfectly

It had been two weeks this day since Ron had snapped at Harry. Since then Ron had tried to avoid all contact with him, which was rather difficult when they slept and basically lived right next to each other and both shared the same best friend. It had actually turned out that Hermione had (not wanting to take sides) had left them to be loners. This is his entire fault. He knew I liked her. So he just liked her because...Why did he like her? I mean it wasn't like he had a major chance with her either, did he? Stop this Ron you'll worry yourself silly. A door opened and closed behind him. But Ron didn't turn around. It is probably one of the guys who forgot a cloak. No other sounds came. He turned around. Hanging on the door was a sign.

Ron,

Do you like scavenger hunts? I hope you do. I have given one to you, please participate. If you don't you will never know what in the end you could lose.

First clue:

Sometimes you may find gum here. Unfortunately you are already eating.

Good luck.

Ron reread the note. He looked around him. No one was here. Hey what the heck. What is the worst that could happen? He grabbed his cloak and hurried to the common room. He read the note again. Sometime you may find gum here. Gum? Luckily it had never happened to him but he had once seen someone put their hands under a chair only to have a blue sticky substance trailing after him. Some one had called it gum. Under a chair? Ok it must be under a chair. Next Unfortunately you are already eating. Eating. I eat in the Great Hall. It must be under a chair in the Great hall.

Ron nearly sprinted to the Great Hall. When he entered He looked around. There were no chairs in the Great Hall. There was only one very long bench that ran down each of the sides of the tables. He went over to the Gryffindor table a little more skeptical now. He looked under the table. Something shiny caught his eye at the end of the table. He walked towards it. Bending over he looked under the table a piece of paper taped to it was silver ring that fit his pinky easily. He read the paper and blew out his breath. This one was harder and longer. Hopefully he didn't have to do this a lot.
