The Trio's Era Competition: Round 5 - Your Character has awkward sex - Lavender Brown. Prompts: happy, jilted, study, engross, dead


She had been thinking about this for so long, her first time, but now she felt jilted. They had had the common room to themselves, a rare occurrence these days, and she hadn't wanted to waste it. She interrupted their study session, pulling Ron's face out of the book he was engrossed in and throwing all the books and parchments on the floor.

"Ronniekins," she said, straddling his lap and marveling at the way his ears turned red. She could remember his happy expression when she whispered her intentions in his ear, feeling a bit naughty herself while trying not to let her nerves get in the way.

"What do you say?" she asked and Ron couldn't get up fast enough. He grabbed her hand and pulled her up the stairs into his dorm room.

But now, all that met her ears was dead silence. They lay side by side in his small four-poster bed, their bodies bare and their clothes on the floor. There had been a lot of fumbling, a lot of guessing, a slap when something went where it wasn't supposed to go and then it was all over in three minutes.

Finally she said, "I don't think it's supposed to be like this."

Ron made an uncomfortable sound beside her. "We could always try again," he suggested, rolling onto his side to face her.

Lavender looked into his red face and then down at their bare bodies, feeling a bit self-conscious now. "We can try again another time," she said. She gathered her clothes and threw them on quickly before leaving his dorm room.
