Something Went Wrong… Severely Wrong!!
Chapter Five: Tantrums Away!
I slather jam onto my toast and proceed to shove the whole thing into my mouth.
'Whose great idea was it to drink on a Sunday night before an exam?' Hermione asks and I grunt in reply; reaching for another piece of toast.
'How can you be eating anything after last night?' she wrinkles her nose.
'Well,' I swallow and butter up another one and hand it to her, 'it'll help get rid of that pain in your gut for one thing, also, better bringing up toast than nothing at all,' I shake the buttered toast at her.
She takes it.
Harry tumbles into a seat beside me and I hand him a stack of toast.
'What did you get up to?' I smirk at him; Harry's still Harry, just 'cause he's got female bits, it doesn't make him any less of a male.
He takes a bite and glares at me from behind those girly new frames; I chew noisily, I'm not happy with the transformation that Hermione has done to Harry.
'Got up to less than you,' he mumbles, Hermione blushes; Merlin's hat that was a bloody brilliant night!
'Well, you and Malfoy sure looked chummy when I left last night… or was it early this morning?' I shrug and turn to smirk at him.
'I can hardly remember most of last night but, we just got talking and then I guess I passed out,' he shrugs.
'Sure, whatever, don't tell your best mate anything,' I shove another jam covered bit of toast in my mouth; the ache in my gut starting to subside.
'What? And you're gonna tell me all the details of what you and Hermione got up to? I seriously can't remember much Ron! I drank a shit load more than you!'
I swallow… Merlin's beard he's moody today… I look around The Great Hall to see besides Parkinson, I'm the only cheery student.
'Well… I'm off,' I stand.
'Where are you going?' Hermione raises an eyebrow, 'we need to revise for our Charms exam.'
'It's Charms, Hermione, I'm sure Flitwick can't fail anyone,' I leave.
There's someone I need to talk to… I'm not looking forward to the conversation but, I need to know.
o~O~o~O~o~O~o
Here I am, standing in front of the Potions chambers and about ready to bolt… I should have brought someone with me into enemy territory…
'You do realize just staring at the door won't get your answers not will it open Weasley?'
I spin around and see Snape, eyebrow raised and a box in his arms.
I resist the urge to glare.
'What are you after Weasley?' he asks, pushing open the door and stepping inside.
I stand in the doorway.
'I want to know how long this potion is gonna take,' he smirks, placing the box on a table.
'Well, by the rate of the transformation, I'm guessing it should be over by this Friday or the one after.'
I groan.
'Was that not the answer you were after?'
'Isn't there some way that it can be over and done with faster?' he leans in close to me and I stand my ground.
'Mr. Weasley, if there were a way, why would I tell you?'
o~O~o~O~o~O~o
The Charms exam is simple, write a short essay on how the Charm works and then perform it on the chosen dolls so, Flitwick has less preparations to do for Halloween.
'The essay part of the exam shall begin now, you have one hour.'
Charms Essay.
Ronald Weasley.
The Charm is used for all kinds of decorating.
Halloween, Easter, Christmas, etc. etc.
The movement is two quick jabs towards the object or objects you are decorating, with the word "Orno", which is the Latin word for decorate.
That's good enough; I sit back and begin swinging on my chair and chew on the end of my quill.
'Mr. Weasley, have you finished your essay already?' I nod and smile around my quill at my awesome coordination, since I'm still swinging and chewing.
Flitwick charms my chair to the floor.
'Just sit still and wait for the rest of the class to finish there essays,' he takes mine away.
o~O~o~O~o~O~o
'Now for the practical and final part of the exam, you have 30 minutes to complete the decorations.'
Seamus walks proudly up to a doll in the centre of the room. 'Mr. Finnegan, please… this doll over here is for you,' Flitwick directs Seamus to a doll in the corner of the room, far away from everyone else.
I jab at my doll twice.
'Orno!' the doll twitches and sprouts a sharp toothed grin, boils spring up all over it's face and long red, messy hair snakes out of the dolls head; I frown.
'Red hair? Seriously!' I snap as the doll gains tattered clothing, Hermione giggles.
'Orno, Orno, Orno, Orno, Orno!' shouts Seamus as he jabs the air frantically.
I duck as a yellow jet races towards me; Harry was a little less lucky as it hits him in the face.
'Are you alright mate?' I kneel beside him and push him into a sitting position.
Harry's eyebrows thin out into neat lines, bright purple and blue eyeshadow forms onto his lids, his lips plump up and turn a rosy colour and his cheekbones slim down with a pink tinge.
His hair snakes into long, loose curls around his face as the yellow glow fades.
Harry bursts into tears, the makeup refusing to run with the sudden waterworks and I jump back from him.
'Look at me!' he sobs, 'now I look even more like a girl!' he wails, 'I hate you!' he screeches at Seamus before rushing out of the classroom.
I stare at Seamus, jaw unable to reconnect from the drop.
Seamus shrugs, 'What? I reckon he looks even better now.'
o~O~o~O~o~O~o
By the time I get down to the Great Hall for lunch the rumours of Harry's outburst had already exaggerated to a large degree.
Stuff from his arse to his breasts increasing to ridiculous sizes and some other stuff about him running to cry on Malfoy's shoulder.
I threatened a few rumours away, which was hard work, now I'm so hungry I could eat a hippogriff.
'So, where is he?' I ask, dragging a stack of sandwiches towards me.
'She's in the common room crying,'
'Still? Why doesn't he just ask Flitwick to remove it?' I bite into the egg and lettuce sandwich.
'Because she is still upset,' I frown at Hermione.
'Well, he needs to get over it,' Hermione throws her fists on the table and stands.
'You're so under sensitive Ronald Weasley!' she storms out.
I finish my lunch alone.
