*** Ron left the Burrow after a couple of hours. After telling his mother, Molly Weasley of Hermione's situation, she had become rather flustered and emotional. Ron had strictly forbidden her from going to their house, telling her that the only person Hermione would want around was Harry. He was, of course, right. Not wanting to go back to the house for a few hours, on found himself wandering around Diagon Alley. He figured that if he started singing there, people would probably think he was busking and give him money. If Seamus had been there he probably would have make some sort of joke about people paying him to stop singing. Out of the corner of his eye he spotted a familiar face, Lavender. She was looking in the window of a well-respected Divination shop, probably stocking up on her supplies for her students. It was still strange for Ron to think of Lavender as a teacher, but apparently she was a good one as many more students had signed up to take Divination than they had when Trelawney had taught there. "Lavender!" he called over the crowd. Lavender spotted him almost instantly, it wasn't exactly hard with his shock of red hair. She paled slightly as he made his way over to her. "Hi," she said quietly as he stood in front of her. She looked at the ground as she spoke, not wanting to look Ron in the eyes. "Hi," said Ron. "Look, I..." He trailed off, not quite knowing how to put what he was going to say. Not quite knowing how to tell her that he missed her more than anything, that he couldn't live without her and being apart from her was driving him crazy. He couldn't find the words to admit that he had neglected her and that he was sorry. Funny thing was, he didn't need to - they came to him in a song. "When I had you to myself
Lavender's eyes were full of shock as he finished singing. "So it's not just me," she whispered, her eyes wide in amazement. "What's not just you?" asked Ron, blushing heavily from the roots of his hair to the tip of his nose. "The singing!" she giggled. Ron grimaced. "That's kind of my fault," he told her. "I cast this spell and it sort of affected everyone in the house. You just so happened to be in the house when I cast the spell. According to Hermione I read the spell wrong. It turns out that instead of being a relieving spell for your emotions, it's a revealing spell your emotions." Lavender giggled, then her face dropped. "Then you really mean what you said in the song?" Ron nodded. "Yes, I really do." A/N: The song I Want You Back belongs to the Jackson 5. Here's a thanks section for Chapter Seven:
