Chapter 4: Just the Beginning

As they walked up the stairs to their rooms for the night, they planned out what times they would be meeting for the day each and every morning. The boys weren't very keen on the time but they eventually gave in.

They said their good-byes and entered their separate rooms. "Oh. My. God!" Hermione exclaimed as soon as their door was shut. "Okay. What is it now? I'm willing to bet that it's about Harry," Lavender asked, answering her.

"Yes it is." Seeing the looks on their faces she quickly added, "But just hear me out. You would not believe how adorable he looked tonight! I know, I know, this doesn't sound like me but oooh, I can't help it! The reason I was spaced out at dinner was because I was in very deep thought about Harry but he shall NEVER know! Okay?" After they both nodded, she continued, " I was going to tell him mid-August but I've decided the sooner the better. So, you guys are going to help me get him alone next week by keeping Ron and Andrew away and occupied. Do you think you could please do that for me?" Lavender and Chloe afraid as they got ready for bed and fell asleep.

For the next week the girls acted strangely6 towards Harry. Yeah, sure, they knew more than he does but he'll soon find out. The way Lavender always giggled whenever she saw Harry talking to Hermione made everyone, even Chloe and Hermione, Look strangely at her. Little did Harry know what he was in for next week.

On the day before Hermione was going to tell Harry her feelings for him she sat down with Chloe and Lavender in their room to talk to them about something.

"Okay guys, I'm soooo nervous about tomorrow! I just hope today goes good so hopefully tomorrow will too. I know I sound like a quidditch captain, Oliver Wood as Harry would say, but I can't help it. God I'm so nervous! Any ways, I guess we'd better get down to breakfast with the boys now.

"Alright, I guess we'd better," Chloe answered as they headed out the door, they all made a sharp turn and almost knocked into the boys turning their way to get them. "Woah! Guess we're just on time," Ron said as he looked deep into Lavender's eyes, just now noticing how beautiful she was, "Ummmm, Lavender, can I please talk to you, a lone, for a minute?"

Lavender nodded as they went into the girls' room to talk. Everyone just as well assumed that they'd be down when they werefinish4d so the remaining four walked down to grab a table for them all.

"So, Ron, what is it you want to talk to me about?" Lavender asked with a sweet tone in her voice. "Well, I was jut noticing something about you. You've turned so beautiful over the years and I just was really noticing it this morning. Now, I have a question," He saw her look anxiously at him so he continued, "Lavender, will you go out with me? I love you so much and that's no lie!" Ron asked with a touch of nervousness in his voice.

Lavender squealed with joy as he said those words. "Oh my gosh Ron! I love you too and that's no lie either. Yes! I'll so totally go out with you!" She jumped out of her seat, ran to Ron, and gave him a hug! "Wicked! We've just gotta tell the others now so lets head down to breakfast, plus, I'm quiet hungry." They both laughed a moment then headed downstairs.

When Lavender and Ron told the others they were so happy for them. Hermione was the happiest because she knew that for sure she'd be able to get Harry alone tomorrow. She now felt less and less nervous. Especially since she had to sit by him at breakfast, lunch, and dinner that day so she thought it was going to be quite a lot easier than she thought it would be before.
