Why So Jealous?
It was her sixth year and Lavender Brown sat next to Ron Weasley in one of the large armchairs in the Gryffindor common room. He was her boyfriend and she loved spending time with him. She tucked her legs up onto the chair and leaned her head onto his shoulder. She closed her eyes. Lavender felt peaceful there, she had finished all of her work and had nothing to think about for the rest of the night.
Lavender could hear lots of voices around her, people softly talking to their friends. Normally the common room was loud but today it was calm.
"Have you finished your homework yet?" she could hear Hermione asking Harry. "I could help you if-" Hermione suddenly stopped midsentence. Lavender opened her eyes to see why Hermione had suddenly stopped. Hermione's eyes were looking straight towards Lavender and Ron. Ron shifted uncomfortably where he was. Lavender watched as Hermione turned and stormed out of the room with Harry following her out. Lavender could never understand why Hermione was always so mad. It was like Hermione was jealous. But why would she be, she had been best friends with Ron for years and they had never dated, she only seemed to want him when Lavender was dating him.
"They always like the ones that are hard to get," Lavender muttered under her breath.
"What?" Ron asked.
"Nothing," Lavender said closing her eyes again and snuggling up against him.
