Chapter Three
By WeasleyLover2
I don't own anything, just the plot's mine. Constructed criticism welcomed. Just review…this is the story you voted on, so I expect a lot of reviews!!! Please r/r and I'll post the next chapter soon!!!
This one is full of Ron and Lavender fluff, with some Harry and Hermione fluff too. Hope you enjoy!!
Ron hurried to catch up with Lavender. He started to walk next to her; she was actually walking quite fast, but with Ron's long legs it wasn't too hard to keep up with her. "That was great back there," he said, then added quickly, "Are you ok?" he laid his hand on her arm.
She stopped and looked at him. Her eyes were still glossy and silent tears rolled down her face slowly. He reached up with his other hand and wiped them off. "C'mon," he said gently. "Don't let him get to you." She just sighed and continued on. Ron shook his head, but followed her.
**************
Meanwhile, Harry and Hermione had just left the compartment that now held a bruised and bloodied Malfoy. They turned to go towards the compartment they were sharing with Ron and Lavender, but when they saw their little 'moment,' they decided to find another compartment and catch up with them later.
Harry was suddenly aware that Hermione's hand was still on his arm. He felt his heart skip a beat and his stomach did flip-flops. They found an empty compartment near the front, and only when Harry went to open the door, did Hermoine take her hand off his arm.
"Harry! Your lip!" Hermione said suddenly as she sat down next to him.
"What about it?" he asked, feeling it gently. He took his hand away to see warm, red blood on his fingertips.
"Let me tidy it up for you," said Hermione quickly. She left, and returned with a cold, wet rag. She sat back down next to him and gently started to wipe the blood away.
Harry was about to go insane. His heart was so loud and beating so hard, he was sure that she could hear it. Her movements were so soft and gentile that he felt like flinging his arms around her and telling her that he loved her right then and there. When this thought crossed his mind another followed. 'Love, is it now?' He pondered for a while, but was jolted back into reality when he felt Hermione's fingers brush his lip.
"It stopped bleeding now," she almost whispered.
(AN: back to Ron and Lavender. Haha! You're gonna' have to wait!!)
**************
Lavender sat down with a sigh. They were back in their original compartment, just her and Ron. Ron didn't think that this arrangement could get any better. But, luckily for him, it did. Right when he sat down next to her she burst into tears again and leaned into him. He put his arms around her and let her cry on his shoulder.
"Shhh, it's alright. You've got plenty of friends who care, unlike that shittin' bastard," he said kindly, yet the last part came out viciously. Lavender sniffed. "You don't deserve to be treated that way," he continued, rather bravely. "Nobody does. But it won't ever happen again, I swear. I won't let you out of my sight."
Lavender had stopped crying now and she lifted her head up and looked at him. Ron cringed inside, what would her reaction to that sentiment be? But yet, even in his anxiety his heart still managed to skip another beat. Here he was, looking straight into Lavender Brown's cerulean blue eyes, he'd just said a very romantic type of reassurance, and she was cuddled in his arms.
After a moment she whispered. "You would?" If Ron wasn't so nervous he would have noticed the hopefulness in her voice.
"Of coarse," he said barely audible. "I'll never let anything happen to you." He ran his hand threw her dark brown hair. He couldn't help but notice how soft and shiny it was. God, he loved her.
She smiled slightly and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. He was quite surprised, but none-the-less pleased.
(AN: HeeHee! Back to Hermione and Harry!)
**************
Harry looked straight into her deep honey-colored eyes. "Thanks," he said hoarsely. Her fingers were still lingering at the corner of his mouth. He wanted so badly to kiss them. But Hermione quickly realized her mistake, and drew her hand back, blushing. "You're too good to me," Harry said sincerely.
Hermione rolled her eyes and looked at him. "Not even half-way true." She said, giggling.
Harry smiled. "Well, if you say so."
She playfully punched his arm. "Think it's safe to go back?" she asked him.
"I dunno," Harry joked as he stood up. "Ron's got hands that like to wander…" he burst out laughing, so did Hermione. He held out his hand and she took it and stood up. "Shall we go?" he asked.
"Let's," she replied and pushed open the door.
**************
The compartment door started to slide open. Ron and Lavender could hear laughing and talking. They jumped about a mile apart and both started to blush profusely once Harry and Hermione had joined them.
Hermione noticed. 'Oh, great, what'd we walk in on?' she thought nervously.
"Hey guys," Lavender said, her cheeks still slightly rosy.
"Hey," Harry nodded his head at her. "Everything alright?"
"Yes, I really shouldn't let him get to me like that," she replied, smiling at Ron. Ron, who was still blushing, went an even darker color, but smiled back all the same.
Hermione could tell that something happened, and she was sure that Lavender would fill her in later. But she couldn't help wondering. Then the train gave an almighty lurch and they came to a stop. "We're here!" Hermione said smiling, jumping up out of her seat. "C'mon!" she said tugging on Harry's hand.

They were now all out on the platform. It had started raining and everyone was getting drenched. Nobody would have guessed rain was on the way from the weather just an hour before. But that was the calm before the storm. The four were jogging down the platform, looking for an empty carriage. When they suddenly came across Seamus.
"Hey Lav," he said sweetly, smiling at her. "Need a carriage?"
Ron scowled at him. Lavender just said, "Seamus, it's over, you know it. Please don't do this."
Seamus looked around at the four. Ron was still scowling at him. He decided to back off. He had heard what Harry and Ron had done to Draco, and he didn't want it to happen to him. "Alright," he said finally. "Maybe some other time." Then he walked away and hopped into a carriage with Blaise Zablini.(sp?)
"If I didn't know any better I'd say he was a man-hoar." Lavender said as they climbed into a carriage.
"Are you trying to say he's not?" Harry asked as he sat across from her.
"Of coarse he's not, he just likes the support. He needs it right now," she said softly.
"Wh-" Ron started but Hermione cut him off.
"But he's doing ok, right?" she asked.
Lavender sighed. "Yes, but I really wished I had chosen a better time to break up with him." She shook her head and smiled. "But we're not here to worry about Seamus, now are we?" she asked with as much cheerfulness as she could muster.
Hermione smiled back. 'She's so strong,' she thought. The foursome soon started to laugh and talk as usual. When they got out of the carriage they saw Malfoy.
"Oh, God," Lavender whispered as they continued to jog up the stairs to the Entrance Hall. Ron took her hand and gave it an affectionate squeeze.
"Well," Draco said as he stepped in front of them, blocking the way. This time he had Crabbe and Goyle with him. Things weren't looking so good.
"Move Draco," Hermione said in her best Head Girl voice.
He scowled at her. He knew he couldn't do anything. She'd tell and deduct house points. He just grunted and stalked away.
Lavender let out her breath and smiled. "Thanks Mione."
Hermione smiled back at her best friend. "No problem."
Ok, change of plan. This is mainly going to be a Ron/Lavender story. I will have lots of Harry/Hermione too; mostly it will be from the girls' point of view. I hope you all don't mind. I've never written a really solid Ron/Lavender story before, so I decided to make this it. But don't fret! Harry and Mione will be in there plenty. The four will barely ever be apart….and there's going to be a big drama part coming up. Full of betrayal, love, hate, war, kissing, slapping, and much more!!! Review please!!!
