Insomnia
I stand up and take a deep breathe as I prepare to begin my speech. I look into my audience and smile as I begin one word falls into my mind. "Insomnia."
I remember when it all started two years ago in my fifth year. I couldn't sleep. I had it. Insomnia. I remember when I was little and mum told Percy that he shouldn't read before bed as it gave him Insomnia. I didnt know what It meant yet but I knew that there was a dictionary. A muggle book of dads upstairs so I ran and looked it up. It meant that you couldnt sleep. And believe me that night I couldnt sleep. I was so pissed off I even felt like I could do some homework, at least it could get it done. But I never knew that going downstairs to the common room could change my life.........
I'm not alone.... Who's that? Its a girl.....shes crying! I should go and see whats wrong.... She looks so familiar! Oh my it's.....
"My thoughts stopped as well as my heart when I saw her. Not in the ages I've known her have I seen her crying as hard as this..... She seemed so upset. I wanted to go and kiss her..... But I knew that she didnt like me like I like her."
"Whats wrong?" I ran to her and looked her straight in the eyes. "She just glared. As if YOU care!"
"I was gob smacked. Surprised she'd talked to me like that. She'd practically spat out her words. I reached out and pulled her into a hug. She reached out and slapped my face."
"Dont you dare touch me!"
"But I wouldnt give up. "Tell me whats wrong?"
She looked at me and managed to breathe out the words. "Draco."
"What's he done?" I growled at her.
"We've broken up......he......he dumped me!" I was so sad to see her like that
"Wait til I get him tomorrow! I'm gonna tear him limb from limb! First I'll turn him into a bouncing ferret. Then I'll................."
"Quit It!" She scolded laughing. Then she burst into loud tears again.
"Sssssh!" I hugged her close. "Dont worry...... We'll all get him back for you. Dont worry!"
I remeber this part extremly vividly. "But-bu-but I dont want you to."
"Why?" I'd asked and she simply said "Theres someone else I like."
I'd turned it into a joke. "Ooooooooh having an affair are we?" But my heart was beating so fast I could have sworn that any second it would explode.
"It-i-i-its you."
"It-i-i-its you." The moment those words left her lips I was so happy that I swept her up and kissed her.
She looked shocked. "Do you like me too?" She asked and I nodded. The next morning when everyone started coming downstairs from there dorms the next morning. Me and her were still fast asleep. In each others arms
There. My speech. Done. I'm happy now. Were Mr and Mrs Weasley now. Together in sickness and in health. To Death do us part.
The hall erupted in claps and my older brother stands up. "To Ron and Lavender."
The whole hall replies "To Ron and Lavender."
