Wilted Roses
Chapter Four
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!!! Enjoy!!
And here's half of why this story is called 'Wilted Roses' (the other half is just cause I think it sounds cool, but I might tie it in with the story…)
Anyway, I'm not a really big fan of Valentine's Day, and this is one of my favorite poems for that occasion….
Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
Sugar is Sweet
And so are You!
The Roses are Wilted
The Violets are Dead
The Sugar Bowl's empty
And so is your Head!
lol, I really like that, I think it's rather funny…. Anyway, on with the story!!!
(It's Halloween)
The feast was over. Our favorite four-some had survived the night with only about five encounters with Malfoy. He eventually turned into a ferret again, thanks to Fred and George. Neville ended up as a bright yellow canary for more than half the night…he isn't too bright. So, to make a long story short, they had fun and survived.
It was one in the morning. The common room was deserted; except for Ron and Hermione who are sitting on the couch; Lavender and Harry each had their own armchair. They were chatting, and sipping butterbeer that they'd sneaked from Hogsmead after the dance. Lavender suddenly sat up straighter and said, "I've got a brilliant idea!"
They looked upon her wearily. They knew her all too well, and her 'brilliant ideas' usually got them into trouble, or sticky situations; especially with each other.
"What is it Lav?" Hermione asked.
Lavender smiled and sat back in her chair again. "Truth or Dare. Who wants to go first?"
Ron groaned, "Oh, come on Lav. That game's stupid, I've watched people play it before; and it doesn't sound fun."
"But, you've never played it with me," she replied with a grin. "Harry, Truth or Dare?"
Harry was surprised. 'Oh, god. No matter what I say, this is going to turn out bad.'
"Come on Potter!" Ron yelled, laughing.
"Umm, Truth I guess."
"Who do you like?"
Harry started to blush. He didn't want to admit it to them, let alone her. He couldn't do it…
"Stop stalling," Ron told him impatiently.
"And you *have* to tell the truth, and there's no chickens," Lavender added.
"Uh, well, erm, you see, well, I really like; but I know she doesn't like me; but, well, Hermione," Harry stuttered out, blushing furiously.
"I told you!" Ron exclaimed at Lavender. Harry looked up, Lavender and Ron were both smiling broadly…he chanced a glance at Hermione. She was blushing, but not as badly as him.
"Um, well now. Ron, Truth or Dare." Harry said, trying to get the attention away from him.
Ron stopped laughing. "Uh, I pick Dare." He told them, being bold.
Harry grinned evilly. "Go snog Lavender, somewhere in private; and make it good Ron."
Ron's mouth opened it shock. He didn't believe his best friend would do this to him. Of coarse Harry knew that he liked Lavender, but to make him do that? He didn't even know if the feelings were halfway mutual. He chanced a glance at Lavender; she was blushing slightly and fidgeting. Then Ron remembered something, no chickens. Harry and Hermione were both laughing.
"Well, go on then!" Harry yelled playfully at them.
Ron stood up. "Ready to go then?" he asked nervously.
Lavender didn't even answer. With an evil look at Harry she followed him out the portrait hole.
Harry and Hermione collapsed into laughter. When she'd finally been able to calm down Hermione said, "I don't believe you made them do that," she shook her head, but she was still smiling.
"I was just trying to help him," Harry answered innocently.
"What do you mean by that?"
Harry looked at her. "He likes her, but he's never had the courage to ask her out or anything…"
"You're kidding," Hermione interjected.
Harry gave her a look. "No, why would I be?"
She grinned. "She likes him too!"
Harry just started laughing again. "We might have to go find them and drag them back if they don't come back in a reasonable amount of time."
Hermione joined in laughing with him. "I wouldn't be surprised."
What will happen between Harry and Hermione while they're alone? Will Lavender and Ron really have a heated snog session? Review and the next chapter with all the answers will be out asap.
