30. Feast

The start of term feast was just that, a veritable smorgasbord of all manner of food, of which Ron’s plate was a miniature version, so Hermione noticed. She turned to say something to that effect to Harry when she found him plate stacked with as many different things.

“Boys can be such pigs,” Hermione turned in time to hear Lavender and Parvati say.

She giggled and nodded.

“Hermione, you want some chocolate pudding?” Ron asked.

She turned to find him holding out the dish for her, a drumstick in his mouth. Hermione sighed in exasperation, but he did look cute.

31. Dress robes

“Dress robes. Again?” Ron complained.

Harry stifled a giggle, Ginny smiled and kissed him. Before Ron could complain, Hermione was at his side.

“Yes Ronald, it’s called a graduation ball. Besides the twins bought you robes, and they’re lovely.”

“I just wore them for the last ball.”

“That was the start of term ball,” Ginny said.

“Really? Seemed a lot sooner.”

“The year went by so fast didn’t it?” Harry asked.

“Too quickly. Can’t believe I’m graduating.”

“Don’t be silly, Ron.” Hermione retorted. “You’d better have those robes pressed if you’re taking me to the ball.”

He blushed at that.

35. Pureblood

For many people it was hard to believe that Ron Weasley was a pureblood. When compared to Draco Malfoy and his rich background it was hard to understand exactly how he could be. But that mattered little to Hermione Granger who loved him simply because he was Ronald. Masterful at chess, loyal, brave and true.

“What’s that you’re writing there Neville?” Harry asked.

The boy blushed, as he closed the book.

“Oh … oh nothin’ … just notes for a … for a book, I’m writing,” he said.

“What about?” Harry asked.

“It’s … it’s about our time at Hogwarts.”

37. Animagus

“Ottery’s an animagus?” Hermione asked.

Ron nodded, and Harry replied, “Yeah.”

“Ottery, then he’s an otter?” Hermione asked.

Ron shook his head, and Harry replied, “Uhm no.”

“What is he then?”

“He’s a polar bear,” Ron replied.

“That would explain all the white fur that gets stuck in the shower drain,” Dobby said as he walked past.

“Now you mention it, there’s always white hairs on my robes,” Ron remarked.

“There’s chew marks on the side of my bed, but I always thought that was Hedwig sharpening her beak,” Harry said.

“Think we should get him a leash?” Ron asked.

39. Duel

“Harry’s fighting in a duel,” Ottery said.

“What?” Hermione exclaimed. “Why?”

“Malfoy got smart about Ginny,” the dark haired boy replied running with Hermione down the hall.

“Don’t tell me. Ron’s his second.”

“Where else would you expect him to be but at Harry’s side?” Ottery replied.

Hermione sighed. Boys could be so stupid about honor and things like that.

When they got to the castle courtyard, however a surprising sight greeted them. Draco lay on the floor nursing a broken nose and wand, and Ginny the obvious culprit was scolding Harry and Ron about being able to defend herself.

OtterySt.Catchpole · 12-09-2006, 10:33 PM

40. Spell

There are different kinds of spells, Hermione knew, but she couldn’t figure out what spell would possess Ron to fall in love with Lavender. He was being a prat, she’d said as much to Harry who hadn’t been very supportive. At least he wasn’t cheering Won-Won and Lav-Lav’s romance either.

Then of all things she’d found herself in the girl’s loo crying. Luna had been sweet to her at least, and understanding. Hermione realized now she’d been somewhat shrewish towards her. She wiped her eyes thinking, “Boys are stupid,” before turning over in bed and trying to capture sleep again.

OtterySt.Catchpole · 12-09-2006, 10:34 PM

29. Pensieve

Harry wished he could borrow Dumbledore’s pensieve. To take his thoughts and examine them. Just when had he started noticing Ginny?

Hermione and Ron were being nice to each other, since the incident with the poisoned wine, and Ron and Lavender’s break up. Harry watched them working on a parchment for Snape, but his eyes kept wandering across the room to Dean and Ginny. They didn’t look happy and that made him content.

“I think you’re wrong Hermione,” Ron said pleasantly.

“I’m not,” she answered nicely with a hint of danger.

Harry sighed. It was only a matter of time.

OtterySt.Catchpole · 12-09-2006, 10:37 PM

42. Portraits

Harry, Ron and Hermione were arguing in the hallway.

“We should ask Nick,” Ron said.

“I think we should go to the library,” Hermione reasoned.

Harry sighed and shrugged.

One of the portraits piped up, “I couldn’t help overhearing you talking about the Chamber of Secrets.”

“Do you know anything about it?” Harry asked.

“No, I can’t say I do,” the painting of a Roman era wizard replied, “But I do know this joke about a thestral, a hyppogriff, and a dragon who walk into a bar …”

Harry sighed, while Hermione pulled a reluctant Ron away from the portrait.

OtterySt.Catchpole · 12-09-2006, 10:39 PM

44. Ford Anglia

“It was a Gremlin,” Neville said.

“I thought it was a Mini,” Dean added.

“You’re both wrong, it’s — ,” Seamus began.

“A Ford Anglia,” Hermione interrupted the sandy haired boy. “My parents had one.”

She looked to the empty seats by her, and had a sinking feeling Ron and Harry were somehow involved. Those two just couldn’t stay out of trouble.

Meanwhile Harry and Ron were screaming their heads off as the Whomping Willow started using the car as a punching bag.

“I thought you said you could fly?” Harry complained.

“I didn’t say I could park,” Ron shot back.

OtterySt.Catchpole · 12-09-2006, 10:42 PM

45. torch

It was late evening, the torch light made the common room barely visible. It hadn’t been easy getting past Hermione and Ron still awake, and talking on the stairwell. He lied to them about going to the kitchens. Ron eyed Harry curiously, but Hermione had shooed off Ron’s suggestions that they go along. Alone he wouldn’t be so easily caught.

She had asked Harry to meet her.

Harry walked out of the common room to find Ginny. She wanted to talk … and for Harry there was no one in the world he wanted to listen to more right now.

OtterySt.Catchpole · 12-09-2006, 10:45 PM

47. Portkey

“Stinky socks make for lousy portkeys,” Ron complained.

“Would you rather I had used your pants?” Hermione asked.

The boy blushed a bright red color. They were there to save Harry, outside of the dark and menacing domicile. It was like all the other homes around it but after the horror stories they had heard from Harry over the years, and given Ron’s previous experience in the Dursley household.

“Well go on,” Hermione said pushing the boy towards the door. “Ring the bell.”

“We couldn’t have come for Harry in the morning?” the boy said walking to the door reluctantly.

OtterySt.Catchpole · 12-09-2006, 10:46 PM

61. Kiss

“Pansy zapped Ottery with a kissing charm so he’s been kissing all the girls,” Ginny said laughing.
Harry smirked. Before he could ask if she’d been kissed Ron had run off.
*
“Hermione,” Ron said.
“I swear Ottery gets into more trouble — ,” she blushed when she saw Ron.
*
Harry, Ginny, and Hermione sat by the Common Room fireplace when Ron walked up. “Ottery’s been kissing me. Hermione can’t you do something about that charm?”
Hermione blushed, “I did over an hour ago Ron.”
From across the Common Room the dark haired boy ran out laughing as Ron started after him.

OtterySt.Catchpole · 12-09-2006, 10:47 PM

49. Yule Ball

Ron’s face was on the table as he watched Hermione in her gorgeous blue dress twirling happily around the dance floor in the arms of his ex-favorite quidditch star Viktor Krum. Next to him, Harry drank punch, annoyed as well watching Cho with Cedric.

“Yule Ball’s suck,” Ron said.

“I’d rather be in potions,” Harry replied.

Ron looked at him. Harry looked back.

“You’re right,” Ron said, and groaned. “Is this going to be much longer?”

Harry shrugged. Then he caught sight of Ginny dancing with Neville. She looked very lovely, he suddenly realized, smiling.

Ron moaned in mock pain.

OtterySt.Catchpole · 12-09-2006, 10:50 PM

52. bore

Some days it seemed to Harry he bore the world on his shoulders, but he knew it wasn’t so. Between finally being told he was the chosen one, actually being the Gryffindor Quidditch Captain, being madly in love with Ginny Weasley (which he still wouldn’t admit), and being a student it was a miracle he could tie his shoe laces in the morning.

Ron and Hermione he could see at the foot of the stairs leading to the portrait were worried about him, again. He smiled at them.

“Table for two?” Harry said playfully, and they blushed at each other.

OtterySt.Catchpole · 12-09-2006, 10:51 PM

54. Dare

“How dare you speak to me you filthy little mudblood?” The words were no sooner out than Ron’s fist was in Draco’s face. Hermione and Harry pulled Ron off the boy and they three landed detention.

Digging out gorza root from pods was one of the most disgusting things. Cracking the pods, nasty green goop squirted out, no matter how you did it. So, you were always covered in the stinky solution.

Neither Hermione nor Harry scolded Ron for their troubles and soon they were having a pod war squirting each other. Not quite the detention Snape had in mind.

OtterySt.Catchpole · 12-09-2006, 10:53 PM

76. Zap

“And then he want bam, and Draco was all zap. You know, took out his wand the great big coward …” Seamus recounted the story to Dean sitting on the next bed. Hermione sat next to the patient pouting angrily, while Ron lay on the bed in a full body.

“When’s Madame Pomfrey getting back? She can fix bones in a second. This thing’s starting to itch,” the boy complained.

Harry who was sitting on the other side of the bed patted the shoulder part of Ron’s cast.

“Next time, if he’s got his wand out, don’t punch him Ron.”

OtterySt.Catchpole · 12-09-2006, 10:54 PM

98. Pajamas

Hermione had seen Ron in pajamas before … just not ‘those’ pajamas. Perhaps it was something that had happened over the summer but when she’d seen him run down looking for Harry — she’d been late up talking with Ginny — she went speechless.

“All right then, night girls, don’t stay late Ginny,” he warned in an older brotherly fashion and ran back up the stairs.

Hermione had stared at his shirt, which seemed a little tighter than before and she blushed.

“You all right, Hermione?” Ginny asked.

“Yeah fine,” she lied. Ron seemed to be growing in all the right places.

OtterySt.Catchpole · 12-09-2006, 10:55 PM

56. Fight

Harry wondered how long their fight would drag on, as Ron sat by the window in the dormitory watching the stars. He was sighing deeply and Harry knew Ron was thinking of Hermione as much as Scabbers.

They were bickering or not talking to each other and he didn’t know what to do, he just knew he wasn’t going to choose sides — but he’d have to stick with Ron wouldn’t he?

He turned over in bed and tried to sleep. On her bed, Hermione scratched Crookshanks ears and thought what insufferable pains boys were, and how much she missed hers.

OtterySt.Catchpole · 12-09-2006, 10:57 PM

92. Chocolate

“They call this, the nectar of the gods,” Ottery said as he was talking to Ron and a bunch of eager first years.

“What is that boy doing now?” Hermione asked making to walk over, eager to try out her new prefect duties.

“Ron’s there Hermione. I’m sure he’s got it covered,” the boy said holding her back by her arm.

“You might have heard it,” he said smiling.

“If he’s doing anything like the twins — ”

Ron was drooling watching as Ottery unveiled his wondrous delight. “Chocolate.”

Hermione looked at Harry. He shrugged.

“It’s really really good. Beats Honeydukes.”

OtterySt.Catchpole · 12-09-2006, 10:59 PM

65. Ooze

“You positively ooze charm in those robes, sir,” the clerk told Ron.

“Harry?” the boy said turning to his best mate. Meanwhile Fred and George were flirting with a couple of the shop girls.

“I don’t think pink’s your color Ron,” Harry said smirking.

The boy looked at his outfit, “It changes colors?”

“I take it sir doesn’t like it,” the man said getting another pair of robes.

Walking outside past the robe shop in Diagon Alley was a familiar frizzy haired girl, Ron fell as he tried ducking behind the clerk. He didn’t want her seeing him like that.

OtterySt.Catchpole · 12-09-2006, 11:00 PM

88. sweet tooth

“Duh Hermione, everyone knows a boys weakness is his sweet tooth,” Ottery and Ginny said together. They looked at each other and broke out laughing.

“What’ve you got there?” Harry asked Hermione walking up to her in the common room.

“It’s for Ron.”

“Ottery chocolate? Mind if I have some?”

“It’s not and I would. It’s for Ron.”

“Hermione you didn’t … with a love potion did you?”

She blushed, and gave him the box, “I knew this was a bad idea.”

Harry opened it, popped a candy, then someone else did. Harry looked up to see Ron. “Mmm candy.”

OtterySt.Catchpole · 12-09-2006, 11:01 PM

86. Daring

“Well if it isn’t the dastardly daring duo?” Draco said to a crowd of laughing Slytherins.

“We're actually a trio,” Hermione corrected coming from behind Ron and Harry, “Or don’t you know how to count Malfoy?”

The Gryffindors started laughing. The Slytherin took out his wand and was met by three others: Ron, Harry and Neville’s.

“I’m glad you’re all so eager to get started,” Professor McGonagall said, opening the door to her room, “But class is in here.”

Harry hid a snicker, while Ron stuck his tongue out, and Hermione tried to be above it all walking into Transfiguration.

OtterySt.Catchpole · 12-09-2006, 11:02 PM

60. Joke

Fred and George were at it again! Hermione scolded Ron, “ … starts off with Canary Crèmes then Polecat Pastilles then Crocodile Candy. You’ve got to help me Ronald.”

“They’re just having a bit of a joke,” he said hiding as deeply as he could in his chair.

“Leave off Hermoine. Ron’s right,” Harry said, “It’s just fun.”

“You’re not responsible for someone who ends up jinxed and has to go to Madame Pomfrey because they look like the business end — ”

“We’ve come to make amends,” Fred said.

“Yeah Hermione, would you like …” George continued.

“Some croc candy?”

OtterySt.Catchpole · 12-11-2006, 08:19 PM

78. author's choice

“I can’t believe they’re together.” Ron complained, as he sat between Hermione who had her head buried in a book, and Ottery who had his nose stuck in a copy of Wizard Magazine, the 100 sexiest magical folk.

“But they won’t let Patrick Dempsey in?” Ottery complained.

“Magical folk Otts,” Hermione corrected. “What’s wrong with Harry and Ginny?” She asked.

“Nothing I suppose …” Ron admitted, “I just … well shouldn’t I be bothered by it?”

Hermione sighed and rolled her eyes going back to her book, and Ottery simply smiled at the boy.

“God you’re cute, Ron,” he said.
