Lavender sat up in the chair she had been slouching in. She had heard noise in the dormitories above, and she knew who would be coming down the stairs. He was late as usual, opting for an extra ten minutes in bed instead of going down to breakfast with Harry and Hermione.
He bustled into the common room, raking a hand through his red hair and yawning loudly. "Oh, hey Lavender," he muttered. "Are you coming down to the Great Hall?"
She nodded enthusiastically, jumping out of the armchair with a little too much energy for someone who had been up since six. They climbed through the portrait hole and headed for the Great Hall, Lavender clutching her schoolbag to her chest and trying to think of something to say to the person she had been crushing on for several weeks.
"Can't we just cancel Monday?" she blurted out suddenly. "It's not like anyone cares..." her voice tailed off, and she regretted it almost as soon as the words left her mouth.
Ron looked at her oddly, but grinned nonetheless. "I wish."
