When Darkness Rises

Karma

Directly after class, Draco disappears. He turns a different direction than the astronomy tower, nearly at a sprint. Looking down, Harry continues on to class.

Stealthily moving to intercept Ron, Draco waits for him to pass. A few moments later, the prey comes into view. Hidden behind a statue, Draco shoots the other with a silent spell.  With a small smile, the blonde slips into a hidden space and quickly makes his way to the astronomy tower.

"Were were you?" Harry mutters as his mate slips into his seat just in time. The raven teen has his finger under his nose. Right then, Draco sneezed, and noticed everyone else had the same pose.

"Just tending to business." Was the reply as the professor starts class.

After class, on the way down the stairs, people were gasping for fresh air. When they told some of the students that were heading up, they blanched and wands were out.

Harry heads into the next class with Pike by his side. It was with Hufflepuffs so the class went smoothly.

Blaise meet up with the neko as he was heading out the main doors. "Hey, anything happen?"

"No, unless you count Trelawney going perfume happy." They laugh. It gets louder when they notice Ron fall on his face a little ahead of them.

Ron get up flustered, his face is as red as his hair. When he goes to slap one of his companions for laughing, he falls again. 

"This is great."  Blaise gasps out.  Harry can barely walk from the laughter shaking his form.

Somehow, they make it to Hagrid's, though some look like they rolled down the hill. Class starts without Ron making a fool of himself.

"Today, we clean a area in the Dark Forest." Hagrid heads that way with the class following him.

"Why?" Someone calls out.

"I can' say righ' now," Hagrid calls back, not pausing. A ways in, they stop in a clearing with sticks of various sizes. "Get to work, pile everythin' in the middle."

With grumbles, people set to work. Halfway through, there was a commotion, were it looks like Ron said something to another classmate. When Weasley went to shove the student, he fell into something with a large squish.

"Ah hell. Ron found the shit pile we were all avoiding." A Slytherin comments. "Now he stinks more than what he did before."

People giggled until Ron stood and they noticed it was all over his face. Each person drops to the ground, gagging, laughing, or a combination. Harry buries his nose in Blaise's shirt.

"It is your fault!" The shit faced (literally) boy screams.

Calmly Harry stands to this insult. "No, if I had done it, I would have thrown you into a pond of shit. Don't blame me for your complete lack of balance." Everyone laughs at his deadpan expression.

Ron walks forward, people move backward. Still in a state of calm, Harry smacks a long, thin, whip like stick across Ron's chest. "That is for hurting me."  While he whines in pain, Harry and Blaise walk away.

"We have to do that again sometime," Blaise comments as they stroll up to the castle.
