Full Summary: Everyone's 18 and has graduated from Hogwarts. Harry and Hermione are going out and live together. Ron and Lavender have been seperated since the 2nd half of 7th year. Ron is dating Parvati. Ron calls Parvati 'Lavender' on accident and they break up. But then Parvati has her eye on Harry and there's a misunderstanding. Will Parvati's desperateness for men ruin H/Hr's relationship and ruin the chances for a new beginning for R/L?
---The next morning, Lavender awoke to the delightful scent of sausage cooking in the kitchen. She looked at the time, it was 10:00. She groaned. She had to leave for work in 2 hours. 'Might as well get dressed then', she sighed. She got a shower, then got dressed in hip-hugger blue jeans, and a light purple tank top. She pulled her hair up into a messy bun and went downstairs. Harry and Hermione were sitting at the kitchen table, talking.
"Morning Lav," Harry said, tiredly.
"Are you alright?" Hermione asked, getting up and giving her a hug.
"I'll be fine!" She replied, smiling at them. "I'm loads better now, since I got a nice sleep! And because I found out the news about Parvati and - " She stopped talking abruptly whenever Ron had entered the room. She gave Ron a questionable look. Harry and Hermione started laughing.
"What? What'd I miss?" Ron asked, clueless. Hermione took his arm and led him over to the mirror in the kitchen. He started screaming. He had blue and green dots all over his face. Ron poked one, and it started to, surprisingly, spray out a red liquid all over the place.
"OH MY GOD! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO MY FACE!" Ron asked, screaming. He looked over at Harry and Hermione. "DAMN SATAN SPAWN DEMON FRIENDS DAMN IT!" Lavender started to giggle at Ron, but she quickly regretted it. Ron went over to her, picked her up, put her over his shoulder, and ran into the living room. Harry and Hermione looked at one another and grinned. Hermione opened the door slightly, pointed her wand at Ron, and did the counter curse, then she went back into the kitchen.
---Ron set Lavender down on the couch and started tickling her. She was laughing harder than ever now.
"Is it funny now?" Ron asked playfully.
"Ye, yes!" Lav said, laughing more.
"You're going to pay for that one, Miss Brown" Ron said devilishly. He started tickling her even more. She wriggled away and ran into her guest room, Ron close on her trail. She shut the door quickly, and ran into her closet.
Ron came into the room, not knowing that Lav was in the closet, and stood by her bed, his back facing her. Lavender smiled evilly. She ran out of the closet and jumped on him just after he turned around. He caught her and they fell onto the bed, on top of each other, but this time it was Lav tickling Ron.
"Stop! Stop Lav!" He said, laughing hard.
"Nope! Not until you say sorry!" She said, smiling at him.
"Sorry! Sorry!"
"Okay! Now say, 'Lav is the best ever and is always right'!" She said, laughing.
"Lav is the best ever and is always right and I still love her!" Ron said the last part seriously. Lav stopped tickling him and looked at him, her emotions unreadable. Ron leaned in to kiss her, but...
---Harry and Hermione were still laughing at Ron's face.
"Too bad we didn't have a camera, that was so classic!" Hermione said, laughing.
"Yeah!" He stopped laughing and looked at Hermione. "But we're alone now" He said, grinning.
"This is true." She said thoughtfully. They started to kiss, and they eventually fell onto the kitchen floor, still making out.
--Ron leaned to kiss Lav, and she started to lean in too. But then her conscious stopped her. She quickly got up.
"Ron, I'm so sorry, I... I can't do this. Not yet, it's not right." Lavender said, and then she apparated with a 'pop'. Ron got up, his face full of sorrow, and walked into his room. He shut and locked the door, leaned against it and slid down until he was sitting as silent tears fell down his face.
"Smart one Weasley! REAL great thing you did back there! She probably has a boyfriend! How STUPID can you be!" Ron said, raising his voice.
---Lav had apparated to her living room, and was startled to find Dean there after she turned around.
"HEEYYYY Baby!" Dean said, drunk.
"Dean, what the hell are you doing in my house, drunk?" She asked, annoyed.
"I'm not drunk baby." He said, moving towards her.
"Goodbye Dean!" She shouted, getting frightened. He was getting closer and closer, until suddenly, someone else apparated and pertrified Dean.
"Aunt Cipko!" Lavender said, running toward her and giving her a hug.
"Hi honey!" She said, pulling away to look at her niece. She gasped whenever she saw Lavender crying.
"Oh honey! Did that drunk man hurt you?" She asked, concerned and angry.
"No no, not him!" She hesitated. "It was Ron..."
"You mean that boy from 6th year who you were dating?"
"Yes. See, I was with him today, and we were having tons of fun, and I was tickling him," Her aunt raised her eyebrows. "Long story. But, he told me that he still loved me, and I, I just freaked out!" She said, starting to cry. She took her into her arms and gently rocked her back and forth.
"Shhh. It's alright." Lavender got up and sat next to her. "Do you love Ron dear?" She asked, her eyes sparkling.
"I, yes, no, I don't know! I'm so confused over everything!"
"Calm down, Lav. Just follow your heart, it will take care of everything, don't worry about it okay?"
"Alright, thanks Auntie!" Lav said, smiling as she gave her aunt another hug. Aunt Cipko looked at her watch.
"I'm sorry dear! I have to go! Remember what I said alright?" And with that, Aunt Cipko apparated.
Lots of love,
Nico
