A/N: Geena-Waters: I don't keep people waiting too long! Here's an update (sooner then I was going to update)

Chapter 6: Found out
Lavender POV
I was laughing so hard I thought I would turn purple. "Oh my gosh that was too funny. You sure got him there didn't you Harry?"
"And all the those points taken from Slytherin!" Ron said beaming, "It's like Christmas came early!"
The four of us were going down the hall to the Common Room reacting Gryffindor's match on Ravenclaw (that Cho girl was playing).
"I can't believe Malfoy thought he'd get away with it," Hermione said with a sigh, "Did you see his face when Harry knocked them over? Oh by the way Harry you played brilliantly,"
He had played brilliantly. The Firebolt worked miracles and Gryffindor had easily won the match. But hands down the best part was Malfoy getting caught dressed up as a dementor to thwart Gryffindor's chances of winning the match. Of course his pitiful plan failed when Harry conjured a patronus that knocked him over revealing his true identity.
We were about to give the Fat Lady the password when Hermione froze. An owl was barreling right towards us and just barely missed my head. Hermione snatched the letter from its leg and read it out loud.
When she finished she picked up the owl and wrote a little message on the back of the letter we just received.
"Now go back to Hagrid please," she coaxed it. She turned back to us with a grim expression on her face. "We should visit him soon. He doesn't seem very well off. Lucius Malfoy got them all in his pocket and Hagrid thinks there isn't much hope for Buckbeak,"
As soon as we got inside the common room Hermione searched through the pile of books again and Harry (feeling restless) left the common again. Ron turned to me his face red.
"Can you help me with Divination?" He asked me this as his face turned even more red than I could have imagined.
"Sure!"
I was really glad that he had asked me. Ron had given up on Hermione (thankfully) and it seemed I had another chance at him. I was glad Ron needed help with Divination so I could be close by him. Even helping him with schoolwork was good enough for me.
"Do you really understand this stuff?" he asked.
"Yes. Professor says I show the true signs of a Seeer," I beamed up at him.
"I think Divination is an aspect where we have to agree to disagree," he said sighing at me, "But I'm glad you can help me. I need it,"
We said nothing for a while but he seemed deep in thought. I decided not to interrupt him and remind him we had homework to do. I just waited there for him to come out of his dream world.
============
Ron POV
I looked up suddenly and remembered. I had to finish Divination. Lavender was staring at me expectantly.
"I'm sorry I must have drifted off there for a second," I sputtered
"Oh it's okay, I mean you can take a break if you want..."
"No, no I'm fine but thank you," I was a little annoyed with myself for losing track of what I was doing in front of Lavender. But to my relief she seemed all right with it. There was a half smile on her face as if she was a little amused with me.
But ever since that day she caught my eye while she was explaining my tealeaves, things have been a little different between us. I blushed whenever I talked to her and she gave me that half smile. I didn't mind it. I liked this change between us.
"There that's all of it," she said shutting Unfogging the Future, "I think you're finally getting it! Where's Harry anyway?"
I didn't hear the last part because I was thinking again, thinking of a matter of great importance. I knew I had sworn not to tell, and I hadn't told a soul. Not even Harry. But weren't things getting a little different with Lavender? No feelings were arousing and I couldn't hide them. Lavender deserved to know more than anyone.
A loud thunk roused my thoughts. Hermione had slammed a large fat book about Hippogriffs and shook her head.
"Nothing that would matter to the Ministry. Just a load of crap they will pass over because Lucius Malfoy's in charge. I feel I've let Hagrid down though. I'll bring this to him anyway,"
Lavender sighed and cupped her hands. "I wish I could do something to those Malfoy gits. If anybody disserves to be disposed it's them," She slammed her fist violently into the table. "Where's Harry?" she repeated.
"Dunno," I said. As soon I said it Harry came in looking flustered.
"I'm really tired. I'm going off to bed," he said in a sulky voice.
"I wonder what happened?" Hermione said worriedly.
Again I didn't hear it. My thoughts had returned to my earlier dilemma. I was torn between family duty and a great new feeling (could it possibly be love?) for Lavender. Besides I was bursting to tell someone. The secret was bubbling up inside of me and I had kept it raging in me for too long.
I'll tell Lavender, I thought, she deserves to know. I don't know when I'll tell her. Not now of course, but soon. Very soon.
================
Harry POV
I left the Common room as soon as I had entered it.
"Oh so you think it's funny just to go in and out the next second!" The Fat Lady huffed, "well you got another think coming!"
I walked right by her. I didn't leave the Common Room just to get her mad. I roamed the corridors wishing I had brought the Marauders Map so I could find my way.
She had been beautiful today. Though I beaten her at Qudditch she didn't seem the least bit mad. She had just given me a small smile and congratulated me. She looked pretty when she smiled and her eyes seemed to smile with her lips. I couldn't wait to tell Ron I had finally met the perfect girl.
I found her in a corridor by the statue of Bert the Bashful. I hid behind the corner waiting for her to finish her conversation with her giggling girls. As soon as they left someone else came.
Cedric Diggory.
I scowled to myself. What did she want with the pretty boy?
"Hey Cho," he said breathlessly.
"Hey," she said softly as she blushed a light pink, "I'm glad you came,"
I clenched my fist as he gave her a soft kiss on the cheek and then on the lips. I had seen enough. I stalked back to the Fat Lady and growled the password.
Ron and Lavender were on the floor; a book lying between them and Hermione was on the sofa clutching a fat red book.
"I'm really tired. I'm going off to bed," I said sulkily. I went upstairs and threw myself on the bed feeling terrible. I thought I loved her but she was in love with Cedric. I shook my head. I know I shouldn't have gone for looks alone but I could help feeling like my heart had been ripped out and thrown across the Qudditch field.

Ooooh now what? Read and review and I shall update!
