Character: Ron, Snape
Rating: G
Warnings: Based on something I heard in French class today.
Het, Slash, or Gen: Gen, though I suppose you could see it as Ron/Hermione
Description: Ron gets detention while trying to commemorate his brothers' birthday.
Snape owned four quills. One was the one he used to sign a slip for Ron Weasley, meaning that he had detention.
"I'm afraid, Mr. Weasley," Snape began, "that juvenile tricks do not tend to go well in my classroom."
Ron's mouth was dry. He felt as if he were moving in a dream. Well, nightmare, really. "Yessir."
"The frog intestines over there need pickling. Do get on it, post-haste."
"Yessir." He trudged all the way to the other end of the dungeon.
Today was Fred and George's birthday, the first birthday where they were not in the country. They were in Southern France where the weather was hot and the girls were beautiful. (Or so they said.) It had seemed necessary, even if a bit childish, to do something to commemorate their 18th year. The fish thing had been mentioned in a letter. Apparently in France it was customary to stick poisson on people's backs on April Fools' Day. It had been a bit stupid, but it had been nice to forget for just one or two seconds that you were 16 and probably getting a bit old for these sorts of things. And, as Hermione had pointed out in a study session only a few weeks ago, his transfiguring skills were steadily improving. She wasn't surprised he had managed an E on his O.W.L.s.
But in Potions? Had he been nuts?
"It's a paper fish, Ron, you're supposed to put a paper fish on the person!" Hermione had moaned.
Ron gulped. His aiming skills obviously hadn't been able to keep up with his transfiguring ones. He'd been aiming for Malfoy but--
"Weasley!"
Ron sighed. Frog intestines smelled even worse than that damn trout had. Still, Harry had been laughing more than Ron had seen him in months, so he supposed it wasn't all bad. And at least Hermione would have to show him that charm to get frog guts out of your fingernails. Life tended to be a mixed blessing like that.

Still, Harry had been laughing more than Ron had seen him in months, so he supposed it wasn't all bad.
Just enough of a hint of seriousness so it isn't completely silly and random.
