Ron's POV
Class was not easy the next day. Not that it was ever easy, but it was harder to concentrate than usual. I couldn't stop thinking about the meeting.
"Mr Weasley, the Venomous Tentacula is getting very close to you." Professor Sprout chastised.
I scowled and batted the vine away from my ear. We were supposed to be 'extracting the poisonous fruits of the plant' as Hermione put it. I pulled out my wand and fried the tentacle wrapping itself around Harry's waist.
"Oi!" Harry's shout pulled me from the depths of my mind.
"Oops. Aguamenti."
Harry shoved me and resumed patting his smouldering robes.
"Sorry, mate." I winced as Hermione gave me a steely glare.
"You'd better be more focused tonight, or you could get someone killed!" She hissed over the table, already cutting open the seed pod from the plant.
"Thanks for the vote of confidence" I grunted as I wrestled another limb of the barmy plant.
Harry clipped off his own pod and darted away from the plant, panting.
"You know, I don't think arguing is going to make the situation any better." He pulled out his wand and tapped the pod to stop it squirming. "We can only practice and hope for the best."
I finally got my own 'fruit' and fell backwards, away from the Venomous Tentacula. Getting to my feet, I slapped Harry on the back.
"Yeah, that's worked for six or so years, hasn't it." I grinned and promptly fell over as a vine wrapped itself around my ankle and yanked.
Roaring with laughter once again, Harry helped me up, under the disapproving eyes of Prof. Sprout.
