Ron Weasley: A Noble's Ascension

*Click*

Ron slowly and quietly as possible opened the door and went to his seat. His attempt failed when he was called out by the Potions Master.

" Ronald.. Tell me what would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?"

" They're are the main Ingredients of the Draught of Living Death. A very powerful sleeping potion that places it's user into a death like slumber, Sir."

" Where would you find a Bezoar?"

" In the stomach of a goat, It can be used to treat several poisons. Sir."

"What is the difference between Monkshood and Wolfsbane?"

" Monkshood is another name for Wolfsbane, which also goes by the name Aconite, Sir."

*Tch*

" Sit down, and open your books to... "

Unexpectedly for Snape Ron enjoyed Potions, handling Ingredients and Brewing. He answered any and all questions asked of him. The only problem their group faced was when Hermione wanted to answer a question Snape had asked Ron.

" Miss. Granger sit down! Don't act like an insuffe -"

" Professor! I'm finished with my potion!"

" Do you seek detention Wea- Ronald!?"

" Of course not, I simply want you to evaluate my work. Sir"

Ron could see from the corner of his eye, Daphne comforting Hermione who gave him a weak smile.

" It's barely passable, but don't think I've forgotten about Granger's outburst, Ten Points from Ravenclaw!"

"* Who the hell cares about that meaningless trophy? Talented Wizards and Witches are much more valuable.*"

At the end of class, Ron excused himself from the two girls and headed to courtyard where the Gryffindor's and Slytherin's were having their flying Lesson.

"* In the film's the reason for most of the hostility between Draco and Harry is escalated by Ron. Yet Draco Isn't likeable enough for Harry to befriend him, so what's their relationship like now without me? Since we arrived late to breakfast I didn't get a chance to talk to Harry or Neville, did he get that remembrall?*"

Ron's questions were very quickly answered when he arrived at the courtyard. He found a boy he'd seen talking with Harry before with a worried look in his face.

Then when he didn't see Neville, but did notice some broken pieces of wood on the ground he had a bad feeling. To make sure he wasn't making these things up he went to speak to the nervous Gryffindor.

" Excuse me you're a friend of Harry's right? Do you know where he is currently at?"

" Harry!? He was taken away by Professor McGonagall! It was all that stupid Slytherin's fault!"

Foreboding what happened, he was soon surrounded by other Gryffindor's who explained what had occurred.

" Everything was going fine until we started to fly-"

" Yeah! Neville was flying very slowly and out of nowhere some Slytherin pushed him off his broom."

" He fell on his right arm and that's when we heard a cracking sound."

" It was horrible!"

" They were laughing at him! Could you believe that?"

Having a vague idea of what happened, Ron asked what happened next and wasn't surprised.

" Then some big Slytherin oaf picked up Neville's Remembrall, causing Harry to demand they hand it over to Neville."

" Deciding that they'd settle it in a match, which Harry won but was taken away by McGonagall."

"* This is perfect!*"

" Okay, thanks! When you see Harry give him my Congratulations. Bye."

Shortly after when Harry returned and told them he'd joined the Quidditch Team, they all began to believe Ron was a seer.

Hogwarts didn't have a simple Nurse's office, due to basically anything and everything possibly going wrong they had an entire Tower.

The hospital wing is equipped to deal with all manner of magical and mundane injuries, from broken limbs to regrowing lost bones.

So naturally when Ron arrived he saw Neville unconsciously laying on a hospital bed while Madam Pomfrey was looking through a cupboard full of different vials.

"* Perfect, it seems she's the only one here right now.*"

He believed that he was sneaky but as soon as he stepped inside he was noticed. The motherly nurse inspected him from afar before her kind demeanor turned to one of annoyance.

" You're not injured, so what can I do for you?"

" I came to see Neville, Ma'am."

" I gave him something for his head so he's sleeping, don't worry he'll be fine. Just needs rest and to not fall of brooms anytime soon."

" I see. Could I leave him his book? He forgot it and I'd hate for him to lose it."

" Alright just leave it on his night stand, but don't disturb him he needs to rest."

Nodding in agreement Ron went over to Neville's side and placed a book on top of the night stand. Then keeping track of the nurse, when she wasn't looking his way, Ron took out a thin red object before a Neville's Wand appeared in the palm of his hand.

"* Got it. Don't worry Neville I'll get you a new one.*"

*Snap*

When Madam Pomfrey heard a snapping sound she turned towards Ron but all she saw in his hands was a quill and a small parchment.

" Sorry ma'am my quill broke. Could I instead bother you to inform Neville, that Ron came to check up on him?"

" Fine. Fine, now be on your way I've got to get things ready for next week's Quidditch match. Lord knows someone's going to get hurt."

" Thank you ma'am. Goodbye."

As he left Ron placed the broken Quill in his pocket and walked out.

After going to the courtyard and then to the Hospital wing, Ron only had a little over half a hour until his next class.

Due to his agreement with Dumbledore Ron couldn't skip anymore, running out of time he sprinted to the seventh floor and entered the Room of Requirements.

" He won't be needing this anymore. Expulso!"

Ron threw a broken Wand into the air before it was blown into nothingness.

"* Lunch ends in forty minutes, so let's try to finish the book I started yesterday.*"

Ron sat down, grabbed a book laying open on his desk and began to read.

As Ron was reading he suddenly stopped and slammed both of his palms against the desk.

" THIS IS IT! I FINALLY FOUND IT!"
