When Lavender left her room at 7:45, she was quite undressy. Her hair was in a messy pony tail, the curls looping in every direction.
Her shirt was a regular tee, with the words "Be-Wise-Er" across it. She had on baggy pants. She looked very comfortable, not bad at all. Her mother was surprised,
Lavender usually wore perfect fitting pants and shirts. But Lavender really didn't care. Her hair was a purplish reddish black color, if you can imagine it.
Her trunk was ready, her owl perched on top.
"C'mon, Pantier, it's the first day of sc- of- of-" She broke off. Was it the first day? Or the last?
"Lav, we're leaving in two minutes, get your stuff ready!" Her mother's voice carried up the stairs.
Lavender heaved her trunk down the stairs with her brother, Tyler.
They flounced it into the trunk.
Tyler was tall, and baulky, perfect for hugging.
So Lavender did. She hugged him so tightly that Tyler laughed but pulled her away, kissing her forhead.
"I'll see you in... four months?" His hands were scared. His face was scared. His whole body was scared from keeping Lethifolds who could fight with wands.
But his voice was deep and... comfortaning.
Then they were driving away, away from her depression. She now must be happy go lucky, flouncy pouncy.
Not just for them, but for Harry. She would do anything for him.
She must have been looking dreamy, because her mother suddenly said, "Feeling schoolsick?"
"Yes.." She said whispily.
"Maybe a guy?"
"Yes..." She said without even knowing.
"Oh really- can I know who? Or is it top secret?"
"Well since everyone will know by the time I get to school-Harry Potter."
Her mother gasped.
"Of all- you told me Harry Potter went to your school, but child! Thats wonderful!"
"Yeah..."
"All you need to do is act normal. Talk. Be good!" She said, just as King's Cross came into view.
Lavender heaved her stuff out, and her mom helped her until they got to platform 9 and three quarters.
"Good luck with... Harry Potter. " She said with a smile, hugging Lavender.
Lavender laughed nervously, and went through the platform as quiet as she could.
There on the other side was Ron Weasley, looking increadibly smug. Ginny was next to him, looking slightly pissed.
Lavender chose to ignore them, and went looking for Parvati on the train.
She found her talking to Harry, Hermione, and Neville Longbottum.
When she opened the door, everyone went quiet, and Harry's face burned brightly.
Lavender could feel hers, hot as coals. Harry opened his mouth to speak, but just then Ron and Ginny came into the already crowded compartment.
"Hi Lavender!" Parvarti said, clearing the seat next to hers. Lavender sat down. The seat happened to be across from Harry.
Hermione was in the corner seat reading a book, but Lavender couldn't make out the title.
Neville was next to Hermione, and Ginny was next to Lavender, and Ron was on the other side of Harry. There was seven people, and eight seats.
So all of the trunks were squashed into the middle, and everyone had their feet on them.
Everyone noticed Lavender's new style.
"Whats with the sag, Lav?" Parvarti asked, " It's so rad!"
"Whats with the new lang, Pain?" Lavender said laughing.
Harry cleared his throught. Whenever Lavender saw him, her stomache ached like she was going upside down on a rollercoaster.
"I think we all know whats going on here." He looked from Lavender to Ginny.
"What?" Neville said, "You know, just to clear it up?"
"Lavender sort of... uh..."
"Fancies the Great Harry Potter." Ron said with a chuckle.
"Yeah..." Lavender said. Parvarti's laugh caught in her throught.
"And so, I am going to leave this compartment with Lavender, and we can sort of... um... talk it out." Harry said, ignoring Parvarti.
"Ask Colin and Dennis to go, I'm sure they will for the Great Harry Potter." Ron said again with a laugh.
"Oh shut up." Harry said, and took Lavender's hand to help her up.
It felt so warm...she noted. Then stood up, and walked out, as though she had no care in the world.
But inside she was shaking, her fingers; shaking.
They walked through the halls untill they passed an empty compartment. Harry was still holding her hand, but he was also shaking.
"Come in here." He whispered. He pulled her in and closed the door, and locked the compartment.
"Well, I have given this an effort of... or is it 'a great deal' of thought? Yeah... anyway..." He seemed very nervous. Not that Lavender wasn't. Her blue eyes were so bright with alarm,
her mouth twitching from anger, nerves, and happiness. She was taking deep breaths.
"Lavender, I think- since.. you know, you like me- I really have been giving you a good though and, um, wouldugoitme?" He said quikly.
"What was that?" Lavender said. She had understood him, but she wanted to hear it clearly.
"I- I said, ' would you go with me?' " His green eyes looked her over, for maybe a sign of sacasm.
Lavender flung her arms around him, unable to controll herself, "Of course, Harry! Of course!"Her voice was shaking, with nerves, excitment, and plain happiness.
Harry slowly hugged her back.
They stood there like that, for a long time. Then Ron came and knocked on the door, with Ginny trailing behind, her eyes slightly red.
"C'mon, you guys have been in here for twenty minutes." He eyes them suspiciously, "We want to know whats going on."
So the four walked back, Ginny trailing far behind.
"So whats up?" Parvarti said, her blonde hair hanging over her shoulder carelessly, and her robes already on. Lavender kept a laugh in. Parvarti fancied Ron, and it was quite obvious.
"Lavender Brown and Harry Potter are officially a couple!" Ron said happily.
"Got that right!" Parvarti said, now noticing Harry clasping Lavender's hands.
"Get right to it, doncha two?" She laughed.
"If you two are really a couple... prove it." Hermione said.
"Uh, how?"Harry said. He was already sitting next to Lavender, holding her hands.
"Run through the barier naked?"Neville suggested.
"Uh no, kiss." Ron said.
"No, touch her a-"
"SHUT UP PARVARTI!" Lavender snapped.
"Kiss!" Hermione said.
"Kiss!" Everyone else chanted.
Lavender rolled her eyes, and Harry laughed. He gave her look that said 'should-we?'
Lavender shrugged. So Harry put his arm around her waist and leaned forward to kiss Lavender.
His lips touched hers first, so she pressed back. Everyone had quit chanting. Lavender had her eyes closed, and Harry also did.
After a second, it ended. Harry smiled sheepishly at Lavender, who was looking dazed.
"OK OK you proved it, sheesh." Parvarti said.
Harry still had his arm over Lavender's shoulder, and she had her head leaning on his shoulder.
Ginny was no where to be seen in the compartment.
