A Name in a Goblet

Chapter Seven: Trying and Failing to Help Harry

                                                                  Ron's POV

I can't believe she started a fight with me. Now my mom is going to send me a howler or worst come down here herself. I thought to myself as I went to Professor Mcgonagall's office. I knocked on her door, "Mister Weasley, come in." I did, I could see there was a chair facing her I sighed then sat down. "What kind of conflicted happened between you and Miss Hohnsen?" "I was minding my own business then she came running up to demanding why I wasn't hang out with Harry." "Why is that mister Weasley?" "Because I have a choice! I told her angrily, Now as I was saying she was blocking my way so I tried to move her then she snapped pushing me to the ground and we started to muggle fight." I finished she was quite then said, "Well I was going to give you detention with Mister Filch but something came up so you are going to assist Professor Hohnsen with something." At this time i've had it. "How's this fair? Tiger gets to take it easy with her cousin while I to wait for my mom to send a howler or something worst?" I ask glaring. She sighed then told me. "Believe me Mister Weasley. Anything your mother can do is nothing compared to what Mister Hohnsen can do." She gave me his room number the let me go but as I left I kept wondering what did she mean by that? When I finally found it I thought about bursting in but I remembered that Tiger's cousin is really unpredictable so I just knock on it instead I heard a faint, "Come in kid. She's all yours." At that I was confused because after my brother's brought Tiger to the Griffindor common room last year they had nightmares for three weeks straight after we went home they told me it was because of the test we took but I had a feeling it was because of her cousin. I bravely opened the door to reveal a child looking Tiger and a grinning Jorden. "What's going on?" I asked surprised. "Guess what kid, you're going to watch her." "What! why?" I asked angrily. "Because,One, I'm your professor and that means I have full reign over you. Two, Because Mcgonagall let me and three, I'll tell mama Weasley that your skipping classes." "She won't believe you!" I challenged. Knowingly he grinned evilly then said, "Wanna bet,kid? I can get Severus to tell her or even Mcgonagall." I was then scared suddenly I felt a tug at my pants it was Tiger, "Lets go." She whispered I nodded then letting her led me out once we in a hallway I asked her, "What did he do to you?" She smiled nervously telling me, "He used a charm to change my age to punish me." "Why?" I asked worriedly for her. "It's alright I think he's doing this to try to force us to get along." "Do we still have to attend classes?" I asked confused. "I'm pretty sure we do,Ron. But do you mind if I asked you this,Why are you ignoring Harry in the first place?" I was about to go off on her but something stopped me so I said, "I'll only tell you if you promise not to tell my brothers or anyone else for that matter." "I promise." She told me looking to my eyes I sighed the told her, "To be honest I don't know I guess i'm a little jealous of him." I muttered the last part hoping she didn't hear me unfortunately she did because she frowned at me then said.

                                                Tiger's POV

"Ron, you have to help me keep Harry from competing in this." I stared at him then my eyes fell to the ground then I said softly,"He could get hurt or worst die." Suddenly I was facing his chest I then then wrapped my arms around back. "I promise i'll help you but promise me that you will not tell him." I nodded saying, "I do but why?" He sighed then said, "Because i'm not ready to face him yet." I hugged him again then said, "Thank you, Ron. I really appreciate this." Suddenly we heard somebody cleared their voice we both looked up to see Sir Nicholas. "I hate to interrupt you two but do you not a have class to go to?" He told us while smiling we both got to grab our things then Ron ran off but I stayed for a minute to thank him. "It's no problem dear. I didn't want you to get caught by Filch." I smiled, "Thank you anyways. I'll see you later." I said then ran off to catch up with Ron. He had only missed forty five minutes of transfiguration so it was good that he didn't missed the whole class. Professor Mcgonagall looked at us with wide eyes but then just told him to sit in his seat I sat with him so he didn't get in trouble with Jorden for not watching me. Once transfiguration was over I had to go to my classes he had break so he followed me and we just did it like that until lunch when I sat next to him. Hermione then came up to me asking to talk to me I looked at Ron then told her that I have to finish eating first she complied once I was done she asked me if I had gotten into a fight with Ron this morning I told her yes then explained what had happened since then. She was speechless but then told me that she was glad that we were getting along again. I then headed back to Ron but I was picked up the twins I looked up saying. "I swear this will never get old." "Us yes." said George. "You no." said Fred. "That's not funny." I frowned unamused. "Where are going?" I asked hoping to change the conversation. "Our common room!" They answered at the same time. "Why? I have potions next." "Perfect, now you don't have to deal with Snape." "I can't. I don't want to get Ron in trouble with my cousin." As I told them this they started to smirk then they singing to me, "Ronnie kins got a girlfriend! Ronnie kins got a girlfriend!" I frown leaving while telling them, "We're not like that." As I walked to class I could see that alot of people were wearing a cruel button that insulted Harry I tried to ignore then but when I came inside the class room Harry was cursing Hermione and one of Draco's friends. I covered my mouth in shocked, I could heard my cousin say, "God damnit! Will someone take her to the fucking hospital wing?"
