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?
---Later on in the day, after lunch
Ron finally came downstairs, after spending almost 4 hours in his room, just thinking about things with Lavender. Harry and Hermione were in the living room, cuddling on the couch, while watching 'Whose Line is it Anyway?'. They noticed Ron entering the room with a solemn look on his face.
"Ron, what's wrong?" Hermione asked, concerned. He took a deep breath, and sat down in the recliner next toe the couch. He told them about everything that happened between him and Lavender, and Harry looked at him.
"Why didn't you tell me that you still loved Lavender? Why did you go out with Parvati if you still loved her?" He asked, a little disappointment present in his tone. Ron looked at Hermione, and she looked between Harry and Ron, and decided that she'd go and talk with Lavender while they talked.
"I'll be back honey." She said, giving Harry a quick kiss. "I'm sure she has a good reason. Don't worry, Ron, everything will work out eventually, you'll see." She said, giving him a comforting hug.
"I hope you're right, Hermy." Ron said sadly.
"She's always right, Ron." Harry said, smiling. Hermione smiled, and then apparated to Lavender's house. Harry looked back to Ron.
"So, can you answer my questions now?" Harry finally asked, after a moment of silence.
"First off, I wasn't sure if I still loved her until last night whenever she ended up falling on me." Harry raised his eyebrows. "Don't ask. And second, I was lonely, I wanted someone to be with, I guess. As bad as that sounds" He admitted sheepishly. Harry smiled at his friend.
"Don't worry about it. Just like 'Mione said, things will work themselves out!"
---We Join Hermione at Lav's House
Whenever Hermione got to Lav's house, she was appalled at what she saw. She was in Lav's living room, and Lav was tied up on the couch, and she heard a guy yelling in the kitchen.
"LAVENDER! Where's the rest of your beer?" The guy yelled angrily. Lavender looked at Hermione with pleading eyes.
"I don't think we have anymore Dean!" Lavender said. Hermione's eyes went wide. She immediately went over to Lavender and untied her, just as Dean came out of the kitchen.
"Hermione? What the hell is she doing here? I told you to tell anyone that comes to go away!" Dean yelled at a now untied and standing Lavender. Lavender looked frightened as Dean raised his hand to hit her, but Hermione pulled out her wand.
"Protrificus totalus!" Hermione yelled, and Dean fell to the floor in a full body bind. She ran over to a now crying Lav.
"Why was Dean here?" She asked.
"He's been showing up here all the time recently, drunk. He... thinks I'm his girlfriend or something... He always forces me to do... things..." She said, trying to talk through her sobs. Hermione took Lavender in her arms.
"Oh honey, I'm so sorry! Is that why you pushed Ron away?" She asked hesitantly. Lavender looked up at her, surprised.
"You know about that?" Hermione smiled.
"Of course! Ron told Harry and I about a half an hour ago. What's wrong? Was is because of Dean?" Lavender shrugged.
"Not entirely. It's just, I don't know. Something doesn't feel right yet with him. I'm just not ready for a relationship or something like that. Can we go back to your place?" She asked. Hermione nodded and they apparated to Hermione and Harry's house.
---Altogether At Harry and Hermione's
Hermione and Lavender apparated back to Hermione's house and arrived in the kitchen.
"Harry?" Hermione called.
"Ron and I are in here honey!" Harry said.
"Alright, Lav's back!" She said, hoping that Ron would be alright as she and Lav walked into the living room, where the boys were.
"Hello Harry! Hello Ron!" She said cheerfully, acting as though nothing had happened.
"Hey Lav." They said in unison. They made room for the girl and they sat down. They started to watch 'Titanic'. Harry and Hermione eventually got absorbed into each other instead of the movie, and started making out, again. Lavender looked at them, and then to Ron, with a devilish gleam in her eyes. She got up and tiptoed over to Ron, and whispered her plan to him. Her breathe on his neck and ear gave him chills. He smiled at her plan, and they went into Lav's room to get their 'supplies'. They each grabbed a can of silly string, and they went back into the living room, where Harry and Hermione were still making out.
Ron and Lavender looked at each other. Lav mouthed 'One, Two, Three' and they started spraying Harry and Hermione with their cans. Harry and Hermione immediately got up and started chasing them. They ended up in the kitchen. Harry went to the fridge and got out two spray cans of whipped cream, tossing one to Hermione. They started spraying Ron and Lav all over the place, but never leaving the kitchen. Ron and Lav's cans ran out of their string. They looked at each other, wide-eyed. Ron looked around the kitchen. He grinned as he noticed that there was still food out from whenever they made their desserts.
"FOOD FIGHT!" He yelled. He grabbed a bowl of melted chocolate and dumped it all of Harry's head. Lav smirked as she saw the lemon moraine pie, covered in whipped topping on the counter. She grabbed it and turned to Hermione.
"Lav you wouldn't da- " But she was cut off as food came crashing in her face. But it wasn't pie. It was spaghetti sauce that Harry had pulled out of the fridge.
"Actually, I was going to, but Harry beat me to it! Damn him!" She said as she laughed. She turned to face Ron, and smirked. She ran at him and smashed the pie right in his face, knocking them both over in the process, as the floor was slippery with messy foods. Ron licked his lips.
"Not bad pie!" He said, laughing as Lav was still on top of him. She smiled at him, and they both leaned in, Lav fighting her mind, which was telling her to pull back whenever Harry and Hermione had just dumped a huge batch of pancake batter all over them that they had gotten out of the fridge. Lav quickly got up.
"Truce!" She yelled as she was being hit by muffins that were being shot at her. Everyone stopped and looked at themselves, and they all burst out laughing. Ron got up off of the floor. Hermione muttered the cleaning spell, and at once, they were all clean, as was the kitchen. Harry and Hermione left to go out into the living room, and on was going to follow, but Lavender pulled him back.
"Ron," She started, getting nervous. "I'm sorry about earlier, there's just a lot of stuff going on right now, and I just wanted to say that I'm sorry." She said, looking down, ashamed. She wanted to tell him how Dean was abusing her, and how he thought her to be his girlfriend, but she decided not to.
"It's alright Lav. I shouldn't have done that. I was just caught up in the moment, ya know?" He confessed.
"Yeah, I, uh, I know what you mean." She said. So he was lying, he really doesn't love me. And with that said, they both left the kitchen to join their friends.
But whenever they went into the living room, Harry and Hermione weren't there.
---Harry and Hermione's Room
"You know, Miss Granger, Titanic really puts you into that, how do you say it, romantic mood!" He said, laughing.
"Is that so, Mister Potter?" Hermione asked in a snooty, yet playful tone.
"Yes!" He answered, laughing. Harry was sitting on their bed and Hermione was walking around, gathering her bed clothes. Harry was entranced by her every move. " 'Mione?" He asked.
"Yes?" She replied, setting her things down and walking over to him.
"You are so beautiful, you know that?" He asked, rhetorically. Hermione smiled at him.
"And you're just SO handsome!" Hermione said dramatically, overacting her part. She pretended to faint on him, making fun of him slightly. Harry rolled his eyes playfully.
"You sure know how to ruin the moment!" He answered, pretending to sound hurt, and failing at it miserably.
"You're a horrible actor!" Hermione said, laughing at him. Harry smirked at her.
"But I love you." She said, giving him a passionate kiss. Harry pulled away.
"I love you bigger!" He answered, laughing.
"Bigger's not even a wo - " But she was cut off by Harry, who started kissing her once again.
---Lots of love,
