chapter 3: Hogsmaede
A/N: there is a song segment in here and so u kno its a sogn i have 3 stars before and after it (***) thanks.
Hermoine sat on the couch in the Gryffindor common room working on a postions essay that was due the following day.She jumped and nearly dropped her quill when she heard someone jogging past her, it was Ron.
"Hey Mr.Weasley!" she shouted, and in turn startling him."Wait for me to go eat I am almost done with the homework."
"Uh...er...Hermoine I am kinda going somewhere..." he finished lamely.
"Oh...Where?"she said in a noticeably dissapointed voice.
"Um...well...I er am going to Hogsmaede with Lavender." he didnt know if he was supposed to tell anyone that but of all people he trusted Hermoine.
"RON!" she said almost yelling. "What are you thinking?! If you get caught you could get expelled.I supposed you and her are sneaking to Hogsmaede.?"
"Well er..yeah. And nothing you say can stop me from going, I want to hang out with Lavender and if she wants to go to Hogmaeded I will go too." he replied in a sure voice.
"What ever Ron, but I dont understand what you see in her!" she said,as she stood up, now screaming.
"Why does everything have to turn into a yelling match with you Hermoine, i hate it! And thats one thing thats great about Lavender she doesnt yell at me, and critisize me." he didn't really mean the things he was saying, but she made him so mad!
"Yeah well at least I care." she said quietly, before she turned and ran upstairs to her room. She threw herself on her bed, and simply just layed there thinking, she hated fighting with Ron. And he had seemed to make his point quite clear that she was not as good of a person as Lavender was.
Ron didn't care that Hermoine was upset, all he seemed to care about was Lavender the past few days, and i suppose that was all he had been thinking about. He looked at his watch and it said 5:15. 'oh shit i am late' he thought before strolling quickly out of the room towards the Great Hall where he was to meet Lavender. When he got there, Lavender stood against the wall wearing a snug fit black tee and blue jeans. She was tapping her foot impatiantly.
"Oh sorry, Hermoine and I had a little fight and yeah..thats er why I am late."
"Well I suppose its ok..." she said shortly, but a few seconds later there was a grin planted on her pale face. She hugged him and took his hand leading him off down a hall he had never seen before. Thats the one thing about Hogwarts, I dont think you can ever see all of it. There will always be a room or hall that is unknown to at least one person.
"So..Lav where are we goin?"
"There is a room around here somewhere..." she looked around. "Ah, there it is...its quite a strange room..but you enter it and if you think very hard about the place that you want to go, you automaticly appear there." she said, a proud grin on her face.
They stepped into the room, both thinking about Hogsmaede, and before they knew it they were in the busy streets of Hogsmaede.
"Well then, where would you like to eat?" Ron asked sweetly, he had better let her pick.
"Ooo well i think there is a great little diner down the road, and we wont run into anyone from school there."
So there they were, the two seventh years Ron and Lavender. They weren't the best looking couple, but overall they both looked quite content.
After they were seated at a small table away from the window, they began to talk.
"So er.. Ron your keeper for the..oh whats the word..quiddith team right?"
"Er...yeah...its um Quidditch but yes I am the keeper." that sure surprised him..how could some one not know that the best game in the world was called quidditch.
"Oh thats nice..." That was really how all of there conversation went...they really had nothing in common... she liked to shop he liked to play sports. She talked too much, and Ron more or less wanted to talk only when there was something worth while to say. Maybe it had been a mistake to come here? But he changed his mind on that when Lavender leaned over and kissed him, 'I guess this date was worth it' he thought to himself quickly. But even if kissing was all a relationship was about,which it isnt, he still thought of Hermoine when Lavender kissed him.
"Well we had better go Lavender...its already 8'o'clock" Ron said after he took a look at his watch. They walked out of the small restaurant and made their way back to Hogwarts, not really talking...just walking in a peaceful silence. That was until Hagrid turned the corner and spotted them...or Ron rather. Lavender had ditched him right when she had seen Hagrid. 'Oh great...I almost get expelled in second year...now I am going to be expelled for sure.' he thought to himself.
"Now er...Ron what are you doing here?" Hagrids voice boomed over the many people that stood between him and Ron. "Yer lucky its me that spotted you here, or else you would be in some serious trouble." he continued.
Woo that was a load off for Ron..I guess Hagrid wasnt going to tell on him. Hagrid proceeded towards Ron, and when he reached him put his mighty hand on Ron's shoulder almost makeing his knees buckle from the weight. Hagrid always underestimated how big and strong he,himself, really was. "I know you break many rules, but I never known you to break a rule when there is no need Ron, why are you here?" he asked Ron patiently.
"Well...um...er..I was on a date."
At this Hagrid chuckled. "I dont see no girl here."
"She er..left." Hagrid's smile vanished.
"Did she ditch you Ron?"
"No...ok if you are going to punish me please get it over with so we can go back to Hogwarts." Ron responded impatiently.
"Oh yes..riight, I would say detention for 3 weeks would be 'bout right."
"Ok Hagrid, thanks." and with that Ron made his way back to Hogwarts. He couldnt believe Lavender had run away like that...yes it wasnt a big deal, but if he would have gotten expelled it would have been. He was against coming to Hogsmaede with out permission anyway.
He was about to go up to his dorm, but instead decided he would go sit by the lake and think for a while...it would help him calm down a bit. It seemed like someone had had the same idea, he realized as he saw Hermoine sitting near the big tree looking into the lake. It was dark out, and the only light was from the dim stars but yet he knew it was Hermoine so he advanced and sat next to her...only to recieve a dirty look from her.
"I thought you were out Ron." she said quietly.
"No...we kinda got caught...or me rather. Lavender ditched me." he said in a harsh voice."But unfortuneatly it was only Hagrid so all I have is 3 weeks of detention. I know you can say 'I told you so' or what ever you want, I know i shouldnt have gone.
"No Ron I am just glad you arent expelled. I cant believe Lavender left you to take all the blame.Want to talk about it?"
"I'd rather not..but thanks Moine." he said before giving her a quick hug. "I think I am going to go get some sleep. Dont catch cold Hermoine, its quite chilly out here." he said before taking off his jacket and placeing it over Hermoines shoulders.
"I'll see you in the morning Ron." she said before turning back to the lake. The jacket smelled of him...and she liked it...so she sat there a while longer just looking up at the beautiful night sky. How could Ron be such a jerk and so sensitive all in one day? It was all so confusing...she didnt want to think about it...
***You dont remember me, but i remember you.
I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you
But who can decide what they dream, and dream i do***
'Is everything so confusing at this age?'she wondered...
A/N: once again the song was the thing w/ stars before and after it...and heres my disclaimer for the song: no i didnt write it, evanescence did.
lol thanks for reading...the next chapter should b out soon.
