Author's Note-Holy cow. When I updated Chapter 4, it looked SO SHORT. (It looks much longer in Word Processing, trust me. +.+) So then, feeling really bad, I immediately started writing this chapter. Lucky you. :D
Chapter 4
-Draco's POV-
Hagrid is definitely the biggest, fattest, DUMBEST thing ever! He's making me clean up thestral's poop! WITHOUT magic! I mean, how can I see the poop?! It's invisible! I can't even see the thestral! So every once in a while, I bump into a thestral. At least, I think it's a thestral. And it's impossible to pick up the poop if I can't even see it!
At first, I stuck my shovel everywhere, hoping to pick up invisible nothingness, but that was quite hard, so now I just stick my shovel under the thestral's bottom and wait for anything heavy to come out! ... Wait… what is that's not its bottom?!
(…We'll leave Draco alone for now.)
-Harry's POV-
Snape is a dim-witted git. I have to clean all the slime from everyone's potion's cauldrons. Without magic. And if Snape sees even a speck of slime on the cauldrons, he'll make me redo them all over again! I bet he'll make me do it anyways. I can't believe I have to clean all 200 cauldrens just because I almost beat up Malfoy. I should have at least been able to give his nose a good whack, because then this would be more worth it.
I'm on my 200th cauldron, and I see Ron, in his practice quidditch clothes, striding toward the direction of the quidditch field. I wonder what he's doing, even though I didn't really care. I finish my cauldron quickly, and I make Snape evaluate my work, and I tell Snape I hope he would take as long as he wants, for I don't mind, because then "I get to spend more time with you." It seems Snape was obviously disgusted, for he wrinkled his abnormally large and slimy nose and shooed me out of his classroom.
-Alana's POV-
Ginny told me that Ron was sweet, funny, and handsome. At least, I think that's what she said. She had quite said it quite quickly, as if she couldn't bear to say such things about her brother. And after she had said it, a word erupted from her mouth so foul I never would have thought it would have come from someone as small as her.
But anyways, she led me to Ron, and she was right. Ron was beautiful, in a matter of speaking. Anyways, that Hermione; I think she is seriously ruining my chances with Ron. I mean, I understand that she is his girlfriend, so I won't start having an affair with Ron, I'm not like that, but I surely will let Ron see what he's missing out on by being with that bookworm.
Oh would you look at that. My future boyfriend is here.
-Draco's POV-
I'm a genius. I figured out how to find the poop! I just gotta step EVERYWHERE until I step on something mushy, and then I step out of it, remembering the spot, and I scoop it up! The poop is invisible isn't it? So no one can see the poop on my shoe! I know, you must be thinking that it must smell, but I can just use a spell to make the smell go away! I'm laughing to myself.
I'm so smart sometimes I surprise myself.
-Harry's POV-
I sprinted to the Gryffindor dormitory, maybe hoping to find Ginny, so we could see how our plan is going. Instead, I find Hermione, who is once again, in tears.
"Hermione?" I asked, attentively. She looks up through her beautiful tear streaked face, and puts her head back into her hands. "Hermione, what's wrong?"
She continues to cry. I guess she doesn't want to talk. I sit next to her and hold her, even though I'm getting bored. Gradually, her sobbing subsides, and she sniffs.
"Oh Harry. -sniff- I can't believe I'm crying over this. Ron's a good person…right?" I nod, but I have no clue what she's on about. She sees my confused look and explains.
"Ron is… I think, getting a long a bit too well with Alana." She says the name with such loathing, it makes me wonder what Ron did this time. "Ron told me he was going to play quidditch 'with the guys.' But, I dunno. I have a gut feeling that he's not. And I don't want to go and see because he and I just had a row. And I just cried. I can't face him like this!" she cries desperately.
Maybe I'm feeling guilty because this Alana girl might partly, well ok, totally…well, no, Ginny brought her, be my fault, but I mention that Ron is a great guy, and he wouldn't do such a thing. Then, stupid me, I offer to bring her outside so we can go together to see what he's up to, and prove her wrong.
We go outside and 'lo and behold, Ron is there, talking to Alana while both riding on a broom, and all of a sudden they burst out in laughter. Git. Making Hermione sad. I steal a look at Hermione, and I think, maybe she's not sad. She's driven with rage. Her cheeks turn red, and eyes will shoot not daggers, but bullets. Bloody hell. I HAVE to calm her down.
"Hermione, Hermione, please, calm down. They're just talking, they-" I try to say soothingly, but Hermione rips into action, about how they are NOT just talking, and how he lied, and how Ron is not the "great guy" I think he is.
Unfortunately, she bellowed that, bellowed like a loud horn, and Ron stops his laughter with Alana and his eyes fearfully look at us. Well, not us, really, more like Hermione. Ron jumps off his broom and runs over to Hermione, with his arms out, as if to bring her into his arms.
I could tell his brain that could only hold an (emotional range of a teaspoon) was already trying to think of an explanation. But, Hermione, driven with passionate rage, not love, gives Ron a big kick in the shins and storms off. Ouch.
Why does Malfoy have poop on his shoe?
Author's Note- Whoooooaaaaaaaaa…. O.o –cough- Sorry all you Ron and Ron/H fans. I guess they just ain't gonna work out... Or are they? DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNN! Teehee.
Anyway's, PLEASE review!
