Good old Crooks, he would do anythig for his pet, and a little Dover sole doesn't hurt. 

Boys! Great prank to everyones benefit. What if she's now getting only 120%, though??

Oh Ron! Thanks for writing a Ron who can get the better of Hermione -- sexy!

 this was cute.

I love that line! "I thought I heard tapdancing" and here it's Crookshanks all along! LOL! I am so sorry love, that I didn't get a chance to read this drabble until now - I have had a crazy week and I didn't get much chances to read nor vote!  But I am SO absolutely thrilled that you won! Congratulations again and again and again - do you believe it now that everyone loves your writing as much as I do??? xMwha!!!x

Hee hee - well that's one way for Ron to get a date out of his girl. lol

I have rather a soft spot for a sensible, caring Ron. And Crooks, of course! It's nice to think of the two of them finally get along.

How purrrrrfect!

sometimes ya gota be smarter than hermione...well done crooks and ron...and well done Aurette

Roflol!!! That is awesome.  Crooks tap dancing.

Love it! What appeared at first to be a prank is actually really sweet of Ron. Congratulations!

Ah, sweet and funny... I like stories of Ron and Hermione where Ron isn't made out to be a total prat.

Love Ron and Crookshanks working together & taking care of Hermione - knowing what's best for her at the moment! Lovely, sweet work!

LOL! Crookshanks is a hero if he managed to tear Hermione away from her books although there are exams waiting right round the corner. As little as I like to see Hermione and Ron together, his imagination in your story is inspired.

Cute. Reminds me of trying to turn my own shoes into tap shoes when I was a child.  Good to see Crooks and Ron have gotten over their issues and are working together.

That was fun!  Awesome to see Crookshanks help Ron take care of Hermione.

aww.A prank for someones benefit.Wow, Ron CAN be sweet!liked it, thanks for sharing!

I love a Ron who is smart enough to know just how to take care of Hermione. THIS is the Ron from book one, the chess master! Love it!

Hee hee! Something tells me that Ron has watched Hermione work herself into the ground for umpteen nights in a row, that he's seen her neglect herself in the name of her studies for far too long, and that he's finally decided it's time to act. This is the Ron I really like - the one whose sense of humour was desperately needed by Harry and Hermione in dark times, the one who provides a fairly necessary foil for Hermione in all her intensity.And Crookshanks? He's 'agreed' to do the distracting deed for fish - the mercenary! - but still needs the proper motivation of a laser pointer to chase. I love it (even more than I love how your sound effects only count for one word each - good on you for beating the word count).

I have a soft spot for Ron, so when he is made to be a nice guy (even with a sprinkle of previously undiscovered Slytherin on board) and clever, you get my approval.  Add in the fact that he has teamed up with Crookshanks and I am sold.  Hermione had no chance against these two. Very cute and funny.

omg, LOL. I love this!

Had to snicker at the word "sole" right on top of the naughty kitty's "paws".  And getting a snicker from me on a Ron/Hermione story is an accomplishment. What an annoying boyfriend, to deliberately distract her when she's trying to revise for her NEWTs!

This made me laugh out loud for joy.  I think this is the sort of thing JKR had in mind when she paired these two. I love the partnership that Ron and Crooksie seem to have formed because they both love Hermione.

very cute

Oooh, I would kill them!  This made me laugh.
