Today was a good day for Ronald Weasley. Today he had the upper hand. As he marched down the steps leading to the common room he could help smiling to himself. Harry stared at his best friend. There was something suspiciously happy about Ron. AND it wasn't even a Saturday.

"Alright Ron, what is it?"

Ron turned still grinning goofily. "What's what it?"

"What are you so happy about?"

"Happy? Who's happy?"

"You. You're happy. I have no idea why but you're happy. Don't tell me; you finished your Potions homework on time?" Harry asked mockingly.

Ron's smile vanished instantly from his face. "Homework! Right! I completely forgot. Can I copy yours, mate?"

Harry sighed as he took out the papers from his bag. Ron jumped on it quickly. They continued walking to the Great Hall as Ron scanned the contents with his best friend eying wearily.

The got to their seats and Ron lapped his food up still reading the essay. "Ron, could you at least have some manners in front of everyone? It's disgusting!"

Ron stopped and looked up at Hermione.

"Em whiffy,"

"What?!"

He gulped his food down and said "I'm busy. I've got work to finish,"

"Work you could have finished last night!"

"Hermione, can you NOT nag for once."

"Nag? I'm nagging? I'm only advising you Ronald but it seems that each time I try it falls on deaf ears!" Hermione answered her voice rising.

"Then stop already."

"Make me."

"I will. I know how to make you shut up,"

A hush fell over the Gryffindor table. Everyone stared at Ron who was smiling smugly and Hermione who was frowning at him.

"You do, huh?"

"Yes, I do. There is one method I have never tried before and it's bound to be the best."

"Oh really? And how sure are you of this 'method'?"

"I thought about it the whole of last night and found the answer. I, Ron Weasley have found the way to make Hermione Granger shut up."

"So THAT'S what you were doing last night. You could have finished your homework, but no... you had to think of the most stupid thing the whole world!"

And with that she walked off huffily. Everyone soon got back to their food used to the normal outbursts from one end of the table. Neville looked at Ron, confused.

"You said you could make her shut up." It came out more like a question than a statement.

Ron drank his pumpkin juice and smiled at Neville, a mad glint in his eyes.

"I do."

"Then why didn't you?"

"I can't do it right now. I have homework to finish."

He got back to stuffing food down his throat while Neville continued to look puzzled.

Harry shook his head but could not deny he too had a nagging wonder at Ron's secret.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Hermione stalked off to the classroom muttering.

"Shut me up now will he? I'll se about that. There is NO way he can shut me up,"
