A/N - hiya peoples! Is this all getting too. er? Well, it started like it would contain muggle problems -- love, moving, jealous girlfriends, all that jazz -- but from here on out, it en't gonna be so muggle... starting next chapter it'll be very magical indeed. If this is getting ... off the wall or anything, just tell me in a review. K? K! also, I used to be called Medivalmaiden ... but I changed my name, so ... yeah.

Ron stopped at the front gate of Lavender's house. There were sure to be a spell to keep him out, but what lay beyond the barriers of her house belonged to him. Hermione. She was in danger, but Ron didn't quite know why, or how.
"what's wrong, Ron?" Harry asked.
"There's gotta be a curse to keep me out. She's done it before. I don't want to end up with 1st degree burns again..." he shuddered, remembering the time they got in a fight (A/N - about the time the girl was in Ron's bed. Scaaary) he had gone to apologize, set foot in her yard and found himself five feet out into the street, burns covering his body.
"Then let me go in first," said Harry.
"yeah, sure, you can be brave," he said, chuckling slightly. "She doesn't have the place booby trapped for you."
Harry laughed and cautiously stepped into her yard. He looked back and waved sarcastically. "oh go on!" Ron said, laughing. Harry walked to the front door and rang the bell.
"You might want to go hide, Ron. She won't let me in if she sees --" Ron dodged out of sight seconds before Lavender opened the door. "Hi, Lavender. Is Hermione here?"
Lavender shot him a suspicious look. "Are you here on Ron's errand," she said, her hands on her hips.
"no," he lied "I just want to see Hermione. I mean, she is my friend and I haven't seen her in a while..."
"Oh," lavender said, perkily. "Okay, then. I'll get her. HERMIONE!"
"WHAT?"
"HARRY'S HERE TO SEE YOU!"
"OH!" there was the sound of a door slamming and someone running down a hall. "Hey Harry... Did Ron send you here?"
"no, I just came to see you. I've missed you when you were gone."
"Oh ... do you want to come up to my room?"
"OK," he said, glancing at Lavender. She smiled -- rather fakery, Harry thought -- and said, "I'll stay down here. I've got some. work. To do,"
"Okay... " said Harry, as he climbed the spiraling stairs. Hermione led him down a hall full of portraits and statues. She opened a door at the end and lead him into a large room with an enormous window.
"So. what did you want to talk about?" she asked as she sat in a Victorian style chair by the window.
"Ron."
Hermione groaned."I thought you weren't here because of him."
"I lied." Hermione scowled and turned away. "He's going mad without you! You have to give him a chance!"
"He said he loved me, but he lied. He had lavender, and he wanted me, too. I will not be the second choice, and I will not be the ''mistress' in this game!" she shouted.
"He Never loved lavender! He always loved you! You were all he could think about, Hermione!"
Hermione stood up quickly, knocking over the chair she as sitting in. "Well, Apparently, he had more on his mind than just me when he was sleeping with Lavender!"
Harry stood there, speechless for a moment. "What are you talking about? He's never slept with anyone!"
"That's not what Lavender told me! She said that he was horribly perverted so she slept with him to get him to stop but it didn't work!"
"LAVENDER'S A --" He stopped and lowered his voice. "Lavender is a lying bitch, and you should know better than anyone! She was always so mean to you in Hogwarts, what makes you think she'd be any better now?"
"People change, Harry," said Hermione, her face cold as stone and her words sharp as knives. "And I think *you* should know that better than anyone, since you and Ron seem to have changed quite a bit,"
"Hermione! Please, just trust me on this! He needs to see you! He wants to apologize! I'm afraid he wont last much longer if you don't go see him. He cant stand the rejection! He had a fit in the middle of Diagon ally; seemed to think you were being attacked. He told me how everything went black, and he heard you screaming. He's falling apart! He cant even sleep, or eat! And you know it takes a lot to get him to not eat."
Hermione smiled a bit at the last sentence, remembering how he used to eat so much, and never gain any weight. Her smile quickly turned to concern. *He's not eating? He can't sleep?* she thought, frantically. "Harry, are you telling me the truth?"
"yes, I am. " Hermione looked at the floor for a moment. "don't try and deny it, Hermione. I know you still love him, and I know you can forgive him, if you look into your heart and try. He loves you. You two were made to be together."
Hermione felt her eyes well up in tears. She missed Ron, and she knew Harry was right. She did still love him, and wanted with all her heart to forgive him. She sat on the bed, head in hands, crying.
Harry walked over to her and out his arm around her. "I do still love him!" she wailed. "I want to forgive him, but... Oh Harry, why did he have to do that to me? I trusted him."
"Shh, I know. He was caught up in the heat of the romance, he just...forgot... Forgive him, Hermione. Please, for your sake and Ron's."
Hermione wiped her eyes. "Okay, I will. I have to see him, could you take me?"
"he's right outside, ...hiding somewhere..."
"Why didn't he come in?"
"Well, first of all, I don't think you would have wanted to see him," Hermione laughed. Harry continued. "And second of all, she's probably got a charm to keep him out."
"Oh yeah... I remember her telling me something about that...Then... I'll go see him now." She got up and walked out of the room, Harry following close behind. When she reached the bottom of the stairs, she cast a nervous glance around the front hall.
"What?" asked Harry.
"I don't want Lavender to see..."
"Shouldn't she be happy for you, and be glad to get her privacy back?"
"No ... she's still mad at Ron, and I don't want her seeing him ... and..." Hermione stopped.
"And...?" Harry continued for her.
"And she has me set up with this friend of hers ... and... I don't know how she'll react when I break up with him..."
"Diego de Vasco. I know."
"How did you know that?" Hermione asked, her eyebrows raised slightly.
"You're not the only one who can conjure up a tracking spell."
Hermione laughed. "Spying on me, are you?"
"well, I wouldn't call it that..." They walked out of the doors and into Lavender's Ron garden.
"of course you wouldn't call it that, but that's what it is," she laughed.
Harry chuckled and went through the gate. "Ron!" he called. "It's okay, she forgives you." Ron hurried towards Hermione and took her in his arms.
"Hermione!" he said. "I've missed you so much!" he kissed her gently on the mouth.
"I've missed you, too, Ron. I...I love you..." she said, nearly in tears as she kissed him back.
"I Love you, too!"
Harry sighed and leaned up against the garden wall. All was right in the world...
For now...
