Everything is J.K Rowling's. I am just borrowing her characters for a brief moment.

"What?"

"What do you mean what?! You just said Ron's name in your sleep!!!"

At this point Lavender's screaming had awoken Parvati who was looking extremely confused. "What's going on? Why are you screaming?"

"Hermione over there just said MY boyfriend's name in her sleep—that's why I'm screaming."

Hermione was silently relieved that the other two beds in their dorm were empty. Lavender wouldn't told Parvati anyway so maybe this way not too many people would find out…yeah right she thought. Talk about a dream—everyone will know what happened by the time breakfast is over—if half of Gryffindor didn't know already with how loud Lavender was yelling. Everyone will know that she said Ron's name in her sleep…oh my God how could this happen…

"She what?" Parvati was looking Hermione with a mix of disgust and utter amusement, "Wow, how embarrassing, continue Lav."

"You—"

But Hermione cut her next rant short, "Lavender please listen…"

"NO! There's nothing to listen to. I heard everything I need to hear in that one word."

"It wasn't like that—it's not what you think, just let me explain."

"Explain what?! How you've wanted Ron Weasley since our first year and now you're jealous that I have him, and you can't help dreaming about him? God I'm surprised this hasn't happened before—maybe it has, just none of us have been awake to hear it."

"Thank God…" mumbled Parvati.

"Seriously Lavender," Hermione was starting to panic. She needed to do some damage control and quick before this got out of hand, if it hadn't already. "I was dreaming about the Quidditch match, more like having a nightmare really. Ron had fallen off his broom, of course I yelled his name, he's one of my best friends—I can't help that the match yesterday affected my dreams."

"You screamed it?? What I heard definitely didn't sound like a scream…more like a sigh really." The look on Lavender's face showed she was not in an understanding mood, more like one of pure cruelty. "You're a terrible liar Hermione—it's not like your little crush on my Ronnie is a big secret. Everyone knows, and if they didn't before they definitely will now." Her and Parvati laughed, "Oh yeah Lav, this is going to make for great conversation at breakfast."

Hermione had expected this from Lavender but not Parvati. They'd always gotten on fairly well, so for her to brag about the hours of gossip ahead was too much for Hermione. "Fine!" she burst out, "Do—say—whatever you want, I don't care, it's not like it's a big secret either that Ron really doesn't like you Lavender, so no one will believe you anyway." She jumped out of bed and stormed out of their room, not caring that she was still in her pajamas. As she slammed the door, she heard Lavender sighing, "Ron…" and her and Parvati burst out laughing as Hermione burst into tears.
