Here's the next chapter. I love reviews!

1 week later...

Ron and Hermione had just come out of the dormitories along with Harry, who just happened to be

wearing his invisiblitity cloak when Lavender walked by. All that was seen, however, was

Ron and Hermione. When Lavender saw this, the commotion began.

"What were you doing up there with her?" Lavender hissed.

Ron didn't know what to say, and Hermione just remained quiet, not getting involved.

"I was good for snogging, but you never would touch me. I guess you were saving that for

your precious little slut here," Lavender spat.

Before Ron knew what was going on, Hermione was on top of Lavender, pounding and clawing at

her face. Ron tried to pull Hermione away, but it wasn't working."Mione, come on you're gonna kill

her. Get up, please," Ron said, still holding Hermione from behind.

Finally she stopped fighting, and let him pull her away.

Hermione glared at lavender.

"Don't ever talk to 'Mione like that again," Ron warned Lavender.

"Oh yes, we'd never want to hurt your precious 'MIONE'S feelings," Lavender mocked.

"Just because you're a slut and would give it up to anyone, doesn't mean that I'm the same way,"

Hermione said icily.

"You really shouldn't be throwing the word slut around, Granger. You know that he loves you, and

you used that to steal him from me," Lavender spat.

"First of all, nothing happened, and i didn't steal him from you. If anything you stole him from me.

You've been trying to cut him off from me for quite awhile. Secondly, it's not stealing because he

doesn't want to be with you anyway," Hermione said angrily.

So many thoughts were running through Ron's head. One things was for sure, things weren't going

to be the same.

Lavender seemed speechless momentarily, taking in Hermione's words. It didn't take very long for

Lavender to find her voice again. But this time, when she spoke, her voice was different. She

sounded like a lost child, or a kid whose parents just told them Santa Clause wasn't real.

"Tell me that's not true, Ron. She's lying, right?"

Ron was caught between guilt and happiness. He felt sorry that Lavender was sad, but he wasn't

going to keep their charade of a relationship going.

Ron did not answer her; his silence would be enough of an answer.

Lavender's eyes widened, understanding his quietness. "Tell me that you don't love her," she

practically pleaded with Ron.

Once again, Ron remained silent, he couldn't answer no to that question. Lavender knew it was

over.

She took a minute to gatehr herself, and then turned to Hermione. "You win," she said. "He's all

yours. We're over."

And with that, Lavender was gone.

It had been several minutes, Ron and Hermione were still on the stairs, not really knowing what to

say to the other, remaining quiet for awhile. They both had said things, or in Ron's case, didn't say

things, that would definitely change a lot for them.

Hermione didn't know what to say. Things had just happened so fast. She really wanted to say

something, if only to break the silence, but she didn't trust herself with words at the moment.

Ron finally spoke, breaking the silence. "Well, what do you know? The second she said it was over,

my headache went away," he tried to joke.

Hermione let out a small laugh, but still felt a bit nervous. She was thankful when she saw Neville

walking towards them.

"Well, I'd better get going. I'll see you tomorrow. Goodnight," she said, quickly, heading off.
