Ron Weasley: A Noble's Ascension

Ron already had a short list of names he was keen on joining the "Study" group. Oddly enough they were from the other three houses, with I belonging to a separate House. First to his left he glanced over to a tall lanky Slytherin boy.

"* Theodore Nott is probably the closest to an actual genius in this entire school. From out first meeting during Daphne's Party he was one of the very few who caught my attention. Then today he was able to anticipate my surprise attack on Draco. That enough more than earns him a position in the group, not to mention that he's been a finalist in numerous Wizarding Competitions. With my help and resources he can easily become a wizard Worthy of being my right hand man.*"

-

Feeling someone gaze on his person Theodore raised his head to see who it was. When he realized it was from from Ron he couldn't help but recall the incident during Charms Class.

"* What could the school's idol possibly want with me? I was sure to not get involved with Draco so that we wouldn't interact...*"

-

" Susan could you lent me your Transfiguration notes?"

" Oh, sure here you go."

When Ron heard that exchanged his ears twitched ever so slightly. There was only one Susan in the Hufflepuff House and she was someone he had to get closer to.

"* Susan Bones, although her looks, talent and status are quite ordinary what I want is her aunt. Who just so happens to be Amelia Bones the current Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at the British Ministry of Magic. With Susan by my side I will be able to not only get my hands on s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e information from her, I will also be able to get a powerful ally in the Ministry.*"

Unlike Theodore, Susan was oblivious to the fact that Ron was paying attention to her. Although she was unaware of that, she did feel a sudden chill run down her spine. Causing her to shudder and look around for the cause ultimately finding nothing.

As Dinner came to an end Ron gracefully rose from his seat garnering endless gazes from the majority of the female student body. Which was noted by his two companions who quickly took their places on both of his sides. Ron was aware that his Noble Persona brought him a large deal of attention but then again that was the d.e.s.i.r.ed effect.

From the corner of his eye he caught sight of the Old Man looking his way. He acted as if nothing happened and continued on his way out of the Hall. That's when a familiar face came into view, a tall stocky Gryffindor Cormac.

"* Unlike the last two he's not in my year and is also in a different house. I guess I'll invite him first, luckily he's not the brightest then again Gryffindor's tend not to be... Ah, I guess coming from me is more ironic than an insult.*"

Separating from Daphne and Hermione Ron walked over to a large Gryffindor group, Ron was met with mixed emotions. That was due to his family's long tradition of being Gryffindor's yet he wasn't one. Add his quasi idol status and most were either wary of him or jealous.

" Ron, what's the matter? After Dinner First Year's are to head to their Common Rooms, you should know that."

Not surprising the only person who even tried to stop him, was his older brother Percy.

-

Ron's relationsh.i.p.s with each of his five brothers were complicated. There were countless reasons as to why, one being that Ron was a shút in for the majority of his life. He didn't b.a.r.e all the blame since the age between them all played a big factor.

With Ron being the youngest his two eldest brothers Bill and Charlie tended to go easier on him. While Percy and the twins weren't afraid to call him out or try to prank him even if they never worked.

So Ron wasn't surprised by Percy's words and actions but that also didn't mean he'd listen to him.

-

" Brother! Long time no see. Hmm? Have you been eating pie? You smell awfully like pumpkins."

Ignoring his younger brothers comment Percy stood in front of Ron with a stern look.

" Ron, mother told me to look after you and although I let your little stunt at the sorting ceremony go. I can't let you so openly disregard School Rules."

" I'm sorry Percy but I received permission from my Prefect so why don't you go ask her, Hmm?

Not wanting to waste his time arguing with his stubborn brother he pushed him off to Penelope. Percy wanted to say something to refute Ron but was distracted by the blond girl walking towards him.

" Ron, where are you- Percy."

Seeing that his distraction worked Ron slipped by and walked over to Cormac. The big oaf was trying to talk to some girl unaware of Ron heading towards him. He only realized that something was off when the uninteresting girl suddenly blushed but he knew it wasn't something he'd said.

" Eh, what's going on?"

" Cormac."

Hearing the familiar voice he finally understood what caused the reaction from the girl. Putting on his best attempt at a friendly face Cormac turned back to face Ron.

" Hey, Ron!"

" Cormac, you know him?"

Knowing that Ron had some sort of pull with the girls Cormac was very quick to name himself Ron's best friend.

" Of Course! Ron and I go way back! Isn't that right, Ron?"

"* Eh, is this guy serious? He's honestly trying to use me to hit on her? I can't say it's a bad move but, well it's corny. Well it doesn't matter I'm also planning to uae him. I'll just let him have this for now.*"

" Oh, absolutely! We're the best of friends!"

Answered Ron with his signature sly smile, inadvertently making the girl blush at him instead of Cormac. Not trying to lose out the latter hastily tried to set up a future date.

" Uh, hey how about we talk later, yeah? We have some catching up to do?"

" Sure, bye Ron... "

" Goodbye, Miss."

Hearing that he wasn't even mentioned left Cormac wondering if befriending Ron was a good idea or not.

"* Damn her! Why didn't she say goodbye to me!? I was the one that... Damn it!*"
