To Love a Lion
36. Second Chance
When a note landed in front of Lavender Brown, she jumped at it's sudden appearance. Stealing a quick glance, she tried and failed to determine who it came from. A glance in the direction of Professor Flitwick determined it was a good time to open the note.
Unfolding the note, Lavender scowled. She knew who it was from based on the handwriting. Ron Weasley had neat and even penmanship. A sense of rage filled Lavender at the sight of her ex-boyfriend's handwriting. Why was he sending her notes?
Resisting the urge to glance over her shoulder at him, Lavender placed the note under her sheet of parchment as she tried to focus on the Charms lesson.
A few minutes later, curiosity got the better of her. She moved her parchment to the side in order to write Ron's note.
Lav,
I'm sorry. I wasn't a good boyfriend to you. I know I took you for granted and I know I hurt you. And I know I have no right to say this, but it's true: I miss you and I hope you miss me.
If you do, then please consider my invitation to Hogsmeade next weekend.
Always yours,
Ron
Lavender's eyes widen as she read over the note. The urge to turn and look at Ron returned tenfold. She bit her lip as she considered her options and her next course of action. She knew Parvati would support her decision, but she would tell Lavender to make Ron work for it. He had to earn her forgiveness and a second chance.
But Lavender wanted her Won-Won back. She missed him.
After a moment of thought, she dipped her quill in her signature purple ink before she wrote a reply for her own.
Ron,
When you said Hermione's name, you hurt me. It broke my heart. Before I even think about giving you another chance, I need to know where your relationship with Hermione stands. I can accept her as your best friend and a member of the family, I will not accept any deep romantic feelings between you. I deserve a boyfriend interested in me and only me.
And yes, I do miss you.
Always,
Lav
Before she think about it, Lavender charmed the ink dry before she folded the note. Glancing at the professor, she flicked her wand and sent the note back to Ron.
