It's a weekend so everyone was out to Hogmead to relax and get away from
homework. Back at the common room was just Ron and Lavender enjoing a nice,
quiet, and empty common room.
"What were you excited about the most when coming back to Hogwarts?" Lavender asked, cuddling herself with Ron on the couch in from of the sizzling fireplace. Ron welcomed her cuddle and covered her with a blanket. He stroked her hair and thought about her question.
"Actually everything. Every little thing. I love those floating candles, I like the ghosts, quidditch ... surprisingly missed the classes and most of all ... you .." Lavender smiled and got up to face Ron.
"That's so sweet of you," she said teasingly as she caressed the tip of her nose on his cheek. Ron kissed her sofly. Lavender returned that kiss and Ron felt the warm heat of the fireplace as he pulled away to breathe.
" I don't think I can imagine myself with anybody else but you," Ron said with a sweet smile. Lavender smiled back and gave a surrending sigh.
"Me too. So nothing can happen between us right?" She asked rather hastily. Ron gave a puzzled look. They have been dating for at least a year now. Nothing has happened since that entire time. Why is she asking this kind of question now. Lavender seeing Ron's confused expression, looked away and stared at the fireplace.
"What is it?" Ron asked. Lavender still didn't answer. She wrapped her arms. "You can tell me you know? That's what I'm here for right?" Lavender hesitated and finally faced Ron. She started at his eyes, deciding whether to say what was on her mind. Seeing his handsome face made her feel at ease.
"Don't think I'm stupid but .. I have been getting weird feelings lately," Lavender started pacing around the room, "I know we just got back but I keep getting this feeling that something will happen. Something sad." Ron laughed.
"Maybe you missed Divination class more than you though Lavender!" Ron joked. Lavender's face got red-hot.
"Ron! I'm serious!" Lavender said hotly as she turned her back to him. Ron realizing that she was serious walked to her and held her hand. He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her neck softly.
"Lavender," he whispered in her ear with a smooth, caressing voice that made Lavender want to surrender again, "Nothing is going to happen. Don't worry about that kind of stuff. The year's only begun. We have lots of stuff ahead I admit but don't go thinking something bad will happen." She turned around and locked her hands with his and wrapped them behind her.
"Maybe I did miss Divination," she laughed. Ron gave a sigh of relief. He didn't know where this was going. He didn't care anymore. He loved her smile. Even more when she laughed.
"I love you Lavender," he said quietly.
"I love you," she said in return. Ron grabbed her hands and wrapped it around his neck, moving her slowly to silent slow dance around the fireplace sharing a romantic kiss.

"Hermione! I found us a table!" Seamus called out. Hermione was at the counter asking the bartender for two butterbeers. As she came back Seamus flashed her a smile that almost made her drop the two glasses of butterbeer. "I haven't been to Hogsmead for such a long time!"
"I know. I miss this place too!" Hermione said as she handed him one of the glasses. Seamus held her hand and Hermione drank her butterbeer nervously.
"I missed you over the summer. There wasn't a day when I didn't think about you, you know," Seamus said happily. Hermione blushed. She made another big gulp at her butterbeer.
Hermione and Seamus have been going out for a least a year too but she is still not used to his sweet words and affection. It's not that she didn't like it, she just wasn't used to it. He was her first boyfriend after all. She was just happy that Seamus understood that. He understands that she wants it slow. She still feels guilty though that Seamus is really affectionate.
"I missed you too," Hermione said nicely looking at him with her big brown eyes. Seamus could not resist those eyes and leaned in for a kiss. Hermione tried not to resist. She wants to be affection, she wants the passion. She decided to go for it since this is as good a time as any. Hermione was in ultimate bliss as their lips met. His lips were so soft and warm. Hermione pulled back suddenly. She loved the kiss but she loved it so much it scared her.
Seamus' expression looked disappointed yet satisfied. Hermione blushed again and gave an apologetic smile.
"That was nice," he said quietly holding her hand again. She kept looking into his eyes and smiled. She thought so too. If only she wasn't so nervous about these kind of things. She would have thought that after a year it wouldn't be such a problem.
"It's nice to be huh?" Hermione started, "Everybody changed so much."
"Yeah! The boys have changed! Potter grew! He's more built too. I think he has quidditch too much on his mind. Dang! Everybody is getting so tall. I don't think I'll grow for a while." Seamus joked. Hermione laughed.
"Well after his eating habits on the first day, I'd say I agree! The girls have changed too! Lavender is so beautiful now. Did you see Parvarti's hair? It's so long!" Hermione said.
"Weasley has definitely grown into his skin. I still remember him when he was a scrawny red head with freckles! Now he can beat me up I think!" Seamus added. Hermione's attention was caught.
"Really? I didn't notice that. He still looks like same ol Ron to me," Hermione said now thinkin hard about Ron's appearance. She just doesn't see it.
"You don't see it? Probably because you know him so well. Or maybe it's just me!" Seamus said. He took a huge chug of his butterbeer making it his last one. "Out of butterbeer. I'll go get us some more." As he left, Hermione still hasn't stopped thinking.
"Interesting," Hermione said aloud to herself.
