Ron Weasley: A Noble's Ascension

Today's last class was the one Ron was looking forward to the most, Charms with Professor Flitwick. Who according to his agreement with Dumbledore was going to teach him Dueling Tactics, Strategies and Training Methods.

"* I have a vague idea of what that Psycho will do but, even if he's little more than a soul fragment at the moment, he's still considerably stronger than most Auror's. That's also not counting his army of loyal followers the Death Eaters. I need to get faster, smarter and stronger.*"

As he was headed to his class he came to an unique situation, three people he knew were arguing and by the looks of the deteriorating situation they were about to start casting Jinxes.

" I know it was you two, who turned my seat into whatever was making that sound!"

" What!? do you know what he's talking about Fred?"

" I have no idea George. Maybe all that farting left him confused."

Looking at each other with lamentable expressions the twins shrugged their shoulders. Causing the other person to become increasingly angry and who began to shout at them.

" Stop spouting nonsense! I did not Fart! That was all your doing! I even received detention from Professor McGonagall because of your little stunt! So you two are going to pay!"

Quickly drawing his Wand the boy aimed at both of the twins, who didn't really seem nervous in the slightest. They didn't even draw their own Wands to defend themselves they simply smiled at the angry boy.

" Still acting brave are we? Have a taste of this, Flipend-"

" Confundo."

Before the spell could be casted a low voice sounded behind the boy causing him to shiver before everything began to spin to him. After a few seconds the spinning stopped but the two twins were nowhere to be found.

" Damn, you Weasleys!!! I'm going to find you and whoever sneak attacked me!!!"

-

Around the corner three boys were walking away when they heard the boy's loud shout, causing two of them to laugh.

" Hahahaha, You hear e'm George? He's going to catch us. Hahahah."

" I did but didn't he also mention you, Ronnie? Aren't you afraid he'll go looking for you?"

" No, not really. I only helped you because you two would've never stopped bothering him for the entire semester. Besides I know him, so I doubt he'll do anything to me, you two on the other hand... "

" Eh, you're friends with a dullard like Cormac?"

" Since when does Mr. Prewett Black have any friends?"

*Sigh*

" We'll I have class right now so bye, and please don't bother Cormac too much he's my dear friend after all."

" Why is it that when you said those words you had that unnatural grin of yours?

" Makes it hard to believe you're actually his friend."

Ron's expression didn't waver as he replied to their comments.

" What could you possibly mean? Either way I don't want to be late to my class, so bye!"

Ron parted away from his brothers and walked to his class, while Fred and George exchanged a worried look.

" That expression of his..."

" Yeah...

" It's creepy."

" At least he pays well, 1,000 Galleons for that map was a bargain."

" Maybe we should've gone with him to that strange aunt's house."

" If we'd known he got all that money before we could've asked more for that map."

" Oh, well! Want to go test out the new candy?"

" You read my mind."

With wicked smiles the twins headed to the Gryffindor Common Room.

-

Having been distracted by the whole ordeal with Cormac and his brothers Ron arrived a few minutes late to his class. Thanks to Daphne and Hermione backing his excuse that he stayed behind with Quirrell he was exempted from any detention or Point deductions.

" I see, then please take your seat Ronald. Today's lesson is on the levitation spell and it's uses in everyday life. Everyone is to cast the spell by the end of class if they don't want any more homework. Since you were late to class how about you demonstrate your skill, Ronald?"

" Of course, Professor."

Drawing his wand Ron aimed at a pile of books on Hermione's desk and chanted the incantation.

" Wingardium Leviosa."

As if the gravity holding them down had been halted the books began to float up into he air. The Slytherin's weren't impressed as much as the Ravenclaw's and their Professor as well as Hermione who tried to grab on to her remaining books.

" Excellent work! Ten Points to Ravenclaw! I hope all of you were paying attention to Ronald's wand movements and his perfect incantation pronunciation!"

Being praised for such an easy spell made Ron feel embarrassed but he would be lying if he didn't enjoy it. He did hear a few snickers and sneers from the Slytherin's but that didn't bother him as much as it did Daphne who lashed out verbally at them.

" Hmph! You all should be quiet lest slugs start pouring out of your mouths."

" What did you say, Greengrass!?"

" You better watch your mouth!"

Not wanting to made fun of both Patty Parkinson and Millicent Bulstrode quickly fired back at her. Hermione who was seated next to Daphne also jumped in causing all of the Slytherin's to retort back to her as well.

" Can you two be quite!? You're disturbing the entire class and the lesson."

" Who's talking to you!?"

" Yeah, be quiet!"

" Shut your mouth, Granger!"

That in turn made the normally quite Ravenclaw's to join the fray.

" Who do you guys think you are!?"

" Your all a bunch of bullies!"

" Nasty! That's what you guy's are just nasty!"

Sensing that his class was getting out of control Professor Flitwick used the Sonorus Charm to set order.

" Everyone calm down and take your seats! Those who don't will be facing detention for the entire week!"

While that did make the Ravenclaw students calm down the same couldn't be said for the Slytherin's. They knew that the school really couldn't do much to them other than a slap on the wrist and continued their rain of insults.

" Why'd you all stop arguing back!?"

" Got nothing else to say, Greengrass!? What about you Granger!?"

" Ms. Bulstrode, that's enough from you!"

" Professor! They're the ones that started it!"

Millicent wasn't ready to back down now and wanted to continue when a hand landed on her broad shoulders.

" It's fine Millicent, you shouldn't even acknowledge those two. One's a Blood Traitor while the other is a Dirty MudBlood."

" Mr. Malfoy! That sort of language will not be tolerated in this School and especially in my classroom! 50 Points from Slytherin!"

Draco glared at the short Professor but as he sat down he sent a sinister smile towards Hermione. Daphne was about to cuss out Draco when a slow and loud clapping was heard from the back of the class, followed by a calm voice.

" Draco you piece of-"

*Clap*

*Clap*

*Clap*

*Clap*

" Good... very good."
