Truly unreal
Well, today was a first: I was actually glad I was not in the library! As has been well-documented in various journals, Ron and Malfoy have been at each others' throats all day. It started during Care of Magical Creatures when Malfoy said a truly heinous thing about Ginny. I honestly can't blame Ron for being upset, although I felt a bit sorry for the clabbert - I'm certain the poor thing was acting totally out of fear. But of course Malfoy took it personally, and Professor Lupin really did have to assign detention. So it seemed it was all wrapped up. But no.
After Defence Against the Dark Arts, Harry and Ron headed to do detention with Hagrid (Harry likes degnoming for some odd reason), and I headed up to the Prefect's Office to do some varying duties. Little did I know what I missed, but I soon found out.
I went down to dinner in the Great Hall to find most of the Gryffindors in an uproar. Lavender and Neville had apparently spent some time in a closet with a boggart, Harry had an extra scar, and Ron was nowhere to be found. They all gave me their versions of what had happened, but no one knew where Ron was - all Harry knew was that when Malfoy turned Harry's computer monitor into a spider, he took off hell bent for leather (Ron has a horrific fear of spiders, my poor darling). I'd hoped he'd had sense enough to go to see Madame Pomfrey, but such was not the case.
As soon as we entered the portrait hole we were yanked into the corner by Ron, mostly hidden under a blanket. He said he was too embarassed to go to the hospital wing, and could I get rid of the hexes? Well, what else could I do? Luckily the hexes were fairly basic so I was able to get rid of them all.
Then I sat Ron down and had a talk with him. I know that Malfoy makes it very difficult, but it just doesn't look good that Ron keeps getting into these matches when I'm a Prefect. Granted, Malfoy is also a Prefect, but ...he isn't acting much like a Prefect lately. It just makes it look as though I have no problem with him fighting, when that isn't true at all. Not to mention all the House points he's lost for Gryffindor, and the detentions he'll have to serve as well! Ron should really be serving a better example for the students in lower years, including his sister.
Speaking of whom, I think that perhaps Ginny should not help you to write poems anymore, Ron. I think she rather cleverly put a good joke over on you with the last one.
