40-I will NOT offer to pose nude for Colin Creevey

(Ronald Weasley and Pansy Parkinson)

The Same Day

Pansy just glared at Hermione and Draco. Those disgusting know-it-alls had done their challenge.

She was mad – their challenge had been so easy! Why couldn't Ron and her have gotten that one? Pansy was tired of seeing people beat her at things. Oh she was going to win this alright – she would do every single challenge that was coming her way.

Quickly writing a note, she sent it to Ron. It hit his head rather hard.

"Wha-" Ron looked at the crumbled piece of paper that had landed on his forgotten book.

You need to hurry! I am not going to lose to Draco and that she-wolf!

Ron scratched his head. Who was 'she-wolf'? Oh, okay, he had an idea.

Don't call Hermione that. And me? No. I'm not going to pose naked!

Pansy huffed. Okay so maybe she wasn't going to do this challenge, because she would never pose naked! She was a respectable pureblood witch after all. And Creevey was just too scary in her opinion.

Study Hall was over, and Ron made his way out with Harry and Hermione. Hermione just kept on grinning like a loony and Harry was quiet.

"Where do you think you're going? We're not done," Pansy hissed at Ron, grabbing his arm rather roughly.

"What is your problem, Parkinson?"

Harry and Hermione raised their eyebrows and decided to leave. Merlin knew that those two needed to a have a civilized talk.

"My problem, Weasley, is that we are behind. We have made no progress. Longbottom beat us! And now Draco and Granger! Who will it be next? Loony Lovegood?" Pansy jabbed her finger at Ron's chest.

"What do you want me to do, Parkinson? Get naked? Bloody hell no. I will not!" Ron hissed in response, his face turning red.

Pansy raised her arms. "It's not that hard, Ronald! For Slytherin's sake! You just get Creevey and tell him you want a nude photo of yourself. Pay him if you have to! I don't want to lose."

"Why do I have to get naked? You're the girl, you should be the one to do it."

Pansy glared at him. She wasn't going to lose. Slytherins weren't losers. "Look, Weasley. Just because I'm the girl doesn't mean I have to be the one to do it. How about we flip a Galleon? I'll be heads and you'll be tails – the one that shows gets to pose. Alright?"

Ron seemed to think it over for a minute. Nodding, he said, "Alright, Parkinson."

Taking a Galleon, she flipped it.

It was tails.

Pansy smirked. "Guess you have to pose."

Ron's blue eyes widened, and all color left his face. Gulping, he took a deep breath. "Fine. But the next one – you're doing it."

Pansy kept on smirking and patted his shoulder. "Anything you say, King Weasley."

…..

This was the worst thing Ron had ever done in his life.

Colin's face had been one of shock and slight disgust. But when Pansy handed him a bag full of Galleons, he couldn't say no.

"There's about five hundred Galleons in there," she said, glaring at him.

Colin looked inside; indeed there were. "I can buy that new camera I saw, and more. Deal."

…..

"Just imagine you're not naked, Ron. Think that you're in the ocean," Colin advised, arranging his new camera. Ron was wearing a robe and was fidgeting.

"Don't be a pussy, Weasley, just take off the robe and that's it, he'll take the photo and we go!" Pansy exclaimed.

It had been twenty minutes into the "photo session" and Ronald hadn't taken off the robe. Pansy and Ron had decided to take the photo in the Room of Requirement, and it had been Pansy's idea to decorate the room in a violent shade of orange, full with posters of Weasley's favorite Quidditch team, and there was an orange dragon-hide leather couch where he would sit down. She tried to make him feel at ease. But it wasn't working.

"But I don't want to!" Ron whined.

Pansy huffed, and made her way to him. She surprised him by slapping him. "Be a man, Weasley." And with that she took off his robe. His hands went immediately to cover his "Ronnies".

Pansy just stared at him. He had a-a-a very nice body. She needed to do a memory charm, so she could erase that thought from her head.

"I'm only doing this for the Weird Sisters. I'm only doing this for the Weird Sisters!" Ron yelled, and with that he moved his hands and stood up straight, with a big grin on his face.

…..

"I dare say, Weasley, you do look good," Pansy said while giving him the photo.

"Oh shut up, Parkinson."

"No, I'm not making fun of you. You do look good. And you know what, if you ever get into the Chudleys – you should give this to them for their annual calendar."

Ron just rolled his eyes. They were in the Great Hall already, and both made their way to the Gryffindor table.

"I really don't want to show this to Hermione," Ron whispered. Pansy snorted.

"Granger, we have completed our challenge," Pansy said. Hermione, Harry, Ginny, Fred and George, Angelina, Alicia and Neville looked up.

Ron looked red.

"Well I need proof that you did it," Hermione told them.

Pansy looked at Ron. "Well if you insist, Granger. Show it to her, Weasley."

Ron looked he was going to faint. "Can it just be us three? I really don't want them to see."

"That's not fair. Neville did his challenge in class, Hermione and Malfoy as well. Ron, you have to show us," George demanded.

"George's right, Ron. Sorry," Hermione said.

Ron sighed. "If you say so. But I warned you." He took out the photo.

Hermione gasped, horrified. "Ronald!"

His brothers just had a look of disgust, Ginny looked like she wanted to vomit, and Harry just kept on laughing. Angelina and Alicia tried to help Ginny while attempting not to vomit themselves. Neville scrunched up his nose in disgust.

"Now, we want our chocolate frog, Granger." Pansy smirked. Ron hid the photo.

Hermione took a minute to recover from her shocked state. Then she took out their jar and placed one chocolate frog inside.
