The way it's meant to be

A/N: This is my first fanfic, I was deciding what ship I would do for a while, but I settled on Dean and Parvati, due to them being the couple I loved the most. Please read and review this, I want criticism as well, plus I'm looking for a beta. This story will take a while, so if you like long stories please read. This will literally be me making stuff up as I go along. Thanks

Warning: Lemons in later chapters, heavy swearing

Disclaimer: To slightly alter the Hogan's Heroes quote I own naaaaaaaaaaaaaaafink. Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaafink.

Prologue: The break-up

"Dean, I'm sorry, but this is the last straw! You push me through that portrait hole, and now lying to me about it! We are THROUGH!" Ginny shouted

"I'm not lying! Ginny please!"

"No, we are DONE!"

Ginny stormed into her dormitory, leaving Dean shocked, and heartbroken in the Gryffindor common room. Dean suddenly broke down crying, wanting it to go away. In the corner, he could make out Parvati Patil, her long ebony hair, brown skin, deep brown eyes and a smile tugging at the edge of her lips. He wondered why she was so happy. Little did she know it was due to a four-way conversation she had not 4 hours earlier

***FLASHBACK***

"God I hope Ginny and Dean break-up soon. They're fighting so often; they aren't supposed to be together!" Harry Potter exclaimed

"I know, the longer they go on like this, the longer we'll have to wait for them. The longer it will take for them to get over each other." Parvati agreed

"God, you two are always complaining! Hermione and I have problems as well! I love Lavender, Hermione loves Ron, and we're getting nowhere, because whenever we look for one of them, the other is eating their face! At least Ginny and Dean are somewhat private with their snogging and their rows, Ron and Lav are doing it for all to see!" Seamus complained loudly

"I agree; Shay is the worst affected out of the four of us, he gets the apparent slut of the Gryffindor common room. He'll have to deal with that speculation for the rest of their life together." Hermione consoled

"Thanks Her- wait what? You, Hermione Granger, are actually giving a guy who is in love with Lavender Brown sympathy? Who are you and what have you done with our favourite bookworm?"

"Yes, I'm sympathising with you. Look, Parvati, Harry, you two are close to getting lucky, they're on breaking point. I can tell, I know Ginny"

"Shit, Shay, Parv, we need to leave, we have Snape for DADA in 10 minutes. See you guys tonight." Replied Harry.

Hermione and Hermione left the common room

"You reckon that they'll break up?" Parvati questioned

"Maybe, I don't know. Either way, we'll be there for Lav and Dean like those two will be there for Ginny and Ron. If we play it right, we'll both end up having the love our lives back in our grasp," Seamus replied

"Well all we can do is wait. Let's go study."

***END FLASHBACK***

Dean continued to sob in the common room, but deep down, somewhere, he was actually happy that Ginny Weasley had dumped him. He didn't know what it was or why it was there, but he kept on clinging onto it, as though it was the only thing that kept him from going down into complete hysterics. He heard the voices of Ron and Lavender in the background, shouting at each other, but that wasn't important. All that mattered was the fact that Ginny Weasley had broken up with him.

Seamus had to stop Parvati from going and comforting Dean, even though it was breaking her heart

"Parv, Dean needs to deal with this himself. Besides, you know the drill, best friends first, the future husband, or in your case wife, after the best friend. Go and talk to Lav, I'll deal with Dean."

"But I love him Shay! I can't just stand here and watch the love of my life cut himself to pieces over a girl who isn't supposed to be with!"

"You think I don't know how you're feeling? Look at Lav; you're the only thing that's stopping me from running over and trying to get her over Ron by shagging the living daylights out of her and saying that she's better off with me rather than Ron! Please just talk to her, let me deal with Dean. I know how to help him."

"Okay," Parvati relented "but no slandering Ginny, she's dealing with the break-up too."

"Fine"

Parvati hurried up to Lavender, knowing that Seamus wouldn't be able to do anything for the love of her life, thinking "This may take a while. Hopefully Dean will be mine at the end of it. Merlin knows how long I've loved him." Parvati, however, knew exactly when she fell in love with the tall, lean man with massive hands. When her best friend sobbed, however, her train of thought broke and comforted the crying woman in her arms "it's okay Lav, it's okay. You don't need him, you're better off without him," she soothed, watching Seamus trying and failing to comfort Dean

"Go away Shay. I don't need to hear it right now; you don't date someone for 9 months and then feel nothing after she breaks up with you. I need comforting, and you, with all your fine points, are completely shithouse at comforting." Dean snapped at his best mate

"But-"

"NO Shay. Just leave, I can't deal with this right now," Dean cut off "and if you can, send Parv and Lav over here. They might be able to help." Seamus was taken aback

"Okay, okay, I'll go away, but you're my best mate, I hate seeing you like this."

"I know mate, I know. Go talk with Ron. He needs you more than me. Yes, I also know he just dumped the woman you love."

"How'd you know about that?"

"You were as obvious as Hermione is with Ron."

"Oh."

"Actually, this is helping. Stick around Shay, actually, get me my notepad and pencils, I need to draw someone or something."

"Get them yourself"

"Shay, Ginny just dumped me not 20 minutes ago"

"Right. I'll be right back." Dean smiled as Seamus ran and got his notepad and pencils. Something was definitely up with him, he was hiding something else. Why was he nervous about Lavender and Parvati comforting his best mate instead of himself? Dean relaxed as he started depicting the crackling fire in front of him. In a private corner Parvati Patil was watching him, smiling at how the man she loved had seemingly recovered. Little did she know that this was just the surface, and inside Dean was sobbing hysterically, hurting from the harsh and very public, break-up that Ginny Weasley had dealt him.

A/N2: What do you guys think? As a guy who's never had a single date, please help me with the actual dating part of the story. The actual chapters will be a lot longer than that, as this is just a prologue. I suck at titles, so please give me title suggestions. Anyway, because I love him, and he won't feature heavily in this story (yes, he lives, Charlie Weasley dies instead), I'll get Sirius to give the message

Sirius: What do you mean I don't feature heavily in the story? I'm the funniest, sexiest, greatest man in the whole series!

DeanT33: You at least get a wedding later in the story…

Sirius: I do? To whom? Is it someone earlier in the series? Are they hot? Do I know them yet?

DeanT33: You'll see… it's someone who also dies in canon, but won't in this.

Sirius: Is it Tonks? Wait, she's my cousin

DeanT33: Can you please just say the thing?

Sirius: Alright, alright, please review the story. Happy?
