Chapter 1: Troubles

"Lav, it's going to be okay." Parvati said, trying to comfort her crying friend. Lavender and Seamus were going out, and they had had a fight. Lavender wouldn't say more then that.

"He's such a jack ass, why do I go out with him?" Lavender sobbed. "All guys are jerks."

"No they're not. They're just stupid." Parvati said, patting her friends arm comfortingly. "Not all guys are bad, look at Harry." Parvati and Harry had been going out for three months, and things seemed to be going pretty well.

"God, life sucks." Lavender sighed, wiping her eyes. Parvati looked like she was about to say something, but her eyes wandered from her friend's face, to a group of boys.

"I have to go." Parvati said, not taking her eyes off of the boys. "I'll talk to you at dinner." She got up from her seat, and walked away, without a second glance.

Lavender sat on the couch for a few moments, her mouth open in amazement. Her best friend had just ditched her when Lavender needed her the most, for a bunch of boys. The more Lavender thought about it, the more she wanted to cry. She ran upstairs to her room, wanting privacy.

Lavender had just sat down on her bed, when there was a knock on the door. She wiped her eyes once more, and opened the door.

"Lavender, please talk to me." Seamus said. Lavender was about to slam the door when he said, "Wait! Just listen to me, will you?"

"There's nothing to say." Lavender said, leaving the door open and walking to her bed.

"Lav, I'm sorry. It wasn't my fault."

"You kissed another girl Seamus!" Lavender screamed, turning around to face him. "You could have stopped it, but you didn't."

"I didn't think." Seamus started, but couldn't find the words.

"What? That I would find out?" Lavender said, tears streaming down her face. "You snogged her right in the middle of the fucking hall!"

"Lavender, I'm sorry. I swear it won't happen again." Seamus said, trying to think of someway to make it up to her.

"Were you even going to tell me?" Lavender whispered. Seamus just stood there, not knowing what to say. "You cheated on me Seamus! And you still won't even admit it!"

"I'm sorry, Lav. I don't know what else to say." Seamus said, touching her shoulder. "I swear, I won't do it again. I feel so awful that I hurt you. You know I wouldn't do anything to hurt you." He said, looking into her eyes. "I love you Lavender."

"I love you too." Lavender admitted. 'I guess I should forgive him.' She thought. 'It was just one mistake.' Lavender smiled and kissed Seamus.

"So are we okay?" Seamus asked hopefully.

"Yeah." Lavender said with a smile. "But promise me that you won't do anything like that again. I love you too much, I don't think I could handle losing you again."

"I promise." Seamus said, and kissed her again.
