In his most recent show of rage, Ron had tried attacking Malfoy during transfiguration which had gotten them both detention with McGonagall. She had given them to filch to help in the green houses without magic. Darco and Ron were working out their anger at each other by racing the wheelbarrows to see who finished moving the bags of manure faster. The dragon dung bags stank and were heavy and the humidity of the greenhouse had both of them drenched in sweat. They were running low on patience and snapping at each other repeatedly and remarks like "Watch where you’re going weasel!" Rebuked with "Or what ferret?!" Was the only small talk they were having. That was until Ron accidentally stepped on the root of the Venomous Tentacula.
