Chapter Three
Ron waited quietly until everyone in the dorm was fast asleep. He got out of his bed and slowly made his way out of the room. He went down the stairs and out the common room door. He quickly made his way to Slughorn's class room and there on the door was a note. He slowly reached for it, looking very nervous. He opened it and read it to himself.
Good, you made it this close. Now go into the class and grab these ingredients and then go to a private place and make it. Also I decided not to give you the name, I wrote down the instructions for you to follow and you better do it right.
Ron gave a small whine but looked at the list of ingredients and then got a bit confused.
"What the heck is that?" Ron asked himself looking up and down the list, "This person is mad."
Ron crept into the class room and slowly searched for the ingredients. He managed to find all but one ingredient. He searched for awhile, but he just couldn't find it. He decided that he would grab what he thought was the next best thing and then quickly left the room. He went into the abandoned girl's bathroom, to find it empty. He went into a corner and started his work. He mixed and cut and watched the potion. The instruction were very clear and what to do, though, it took about an hour to make the potion. He looked to see that the last ingredient that he needed to add was the one he couldn't find. He grabbed the one he had decided to use and just dumped it into the potion. He watched the potion go from green to orange. He looked at the instructions and gave a sigh of relief; it at least was the right color. He added some to a vial and quickly got rid of the rest. He headed back up to his dorm when he saw another note. He quickly grabbed it and read it.
I assume you're done with the potion and that you made it just right. Now just put it on the statue and walk away and don't you dare you back.
Ron set the potion on the statue and quickly walked off. He didn't go far; he hid behind a corner and watched. He waited for about five minutes and someone finally came out of their hiding spot. Ron couldn't see who they were right away until they got into the light. He was shocked to see who it was; he quickly turned around and ran back to the common room. He quickly ran back up to the dorm and quickly laid in bed, just shocked at who he had just seen. The next day he woke up and went to breakfast like normal. Harry came and sat down by him. Ron jumped a bit, but quickly calmed down.
"What's the matter?" Harry asked; looking at Ron a bit worried.
"Nothing," Ron quickly said, "I'm just a bit tired, that's all."
"Well," Harry said, "We have potions this morning, so let's get going."
Ron and Harry made their way to Slughorn's class. They went in and sat down with the rest of the class. Soon the bell rang and class begun. Ron was looking more than nervous.
"Ok class," Slughorn said, "Today we will be making a very special potion. It's a marvelous little thing and will probably be one of the easiest potions you have made this year. It's a candy potion. Yes, a candy potion. Some of the best candy's in the world use this potion to make their candy better and today you will have the chance to make it. You may begin."
Ron went and got his stuff and so did Harry.
"Well," Harry said, "This should be fun."
"Ya," Ron said, trying not to sound nervous.
Soon everyone had begun their potions. Ron did his in silence, though, he felt very odd. 'I swear I have read this already,' Ron thought. Ron just shook it off and continued to make his potion. Almost an hour went by and soon everyone was done. Ron looked at his potion and then at Harry's potion. They were orange. That's when it finally hit him; he had made this potion last night. Slughorn came over to their table and looked at their potions with a smile.
"Very good," Slughorn said, "Now, may I have your vials?"
Ron handed him a vial of his potion and so did Harry. Slughorn went back to the front of the class, where more vials sat.
"You all did a wonderful job," Slughorn said, "Now I shall test your potions to see how you did. Well maybe not all of them."
Slughorn looked at a red potion with a sigh, and put it to the side.
"Too much of one ingredient can cause it to go red instead of orange and also make the stuff real gross," Slughorn said, picking up Harry's potion with a smile, "aw the proper color and it does look good."
Slughorn opened the potion and took a small sip. Everyone watched and waited. Ron was the one looking most and he looked ready to puke. Slughorn gave a smile.
"Very yummy," Slughorn said, "another good potion, Harry."
Ron gave a sigh of relief, while Slughorn finished the rest of the potions. Harry was looking a bit annoyed.
"Everyone did a very good job," Slughorn said, "and now to tell you that you also came close to making a puking potion. Yes, a candy potion and puking potion are the same color and have all but one ingredient difference, but you shall not find that other ingredient in this class room."
Soon the bell rang and everyone left. Ron and Harry were walking up the stairs when Harry finally turned to Ron.
"You made that potion wrong," Harry said, "Why the heck did you make it wrong?"
"The ingredient you wanted wasn't there," Ron said, looking at Harry, "and I'm shocked at you, wanting me to do all that just to make you look bad. I thought it was Draco."
"You should be lucky that I won't actually tell anyone your secret," Harry said.
"I knew you wouldn't when I realized it was you," Ron said with a sigh of relief.
"Ya," Harry said, "Though answer me this, why the heck do you play with Barbie dolls?"
"Hey," Ron said with a smile, "I do have a sensitive side and that only comes out when I'm doing that."
"Well," Harry said, trying not to laugh, "Your secret is safe with me."
A/N: Ya, it was Harry that was doing it. I do hope you enjoyed this story and sorry that the chapter is short. Please review.
