Chapter 3: An Old Friend Will Always Be There
That night Ron stayed in a lonely corner in the common room. Ron was feeling quite angry with himself for being so very foolish. He took a glance over where Harry and Hermione were studying and felt even gloomier.
'Hello Ron!' came Lavender's sweet voice (or to some, quite an annoying voice.)
'What do you want now? Come to spread rumours that I'm a queer or something!' Ron answered defensively.
'I would do nothing of the sort; I just came to ask you why weren't you sitting with Harry and Hermione? I'm terribly offended!' Lavender sniffed indignantly. 'Why should I tell you?' said Ron. 'Oh- come on Ron, I tell you heaps of stuff and you wouldn't even tell me about this little thing!' Lavender pouted with a puppy dog look. Ron nearly laughed at this.
'Fine, I'll tell you.' Ron said as he gave in. 'Great, now spill the beans!' Lavender said as she beamed brightly.
'Okay, well last night I saw Harry coming up from the stairs in the common room to the boy's dormitory and I asked him what was he doing so late at night? He acted very suspiciously and mentioned that he saw Hermione and I think something's going on between them.' Ron explained. 'God the guy's such a dick sometimes.' Ron sighed.
'So are you.' said Lavender jokingly. Ron glared at her which told Lavender that it was just not the time.
'But yeah, I've been seeing them together a lot lately too!'
'Anyway, for the whole day it seemed that they were flirting which really pissed me off and in the afternoon Harry and I had a big fight.' Ron said with a loud sigh.
'Oooh was it physical?' asked Lavender nearly jumping out of her seat.
'I wish.' answered Ron grinning reluctantly.
'Oh, so you were jealous of Harry spending heaps of time with Hermione?' Lavender said a little more quietly and you could almost see disappointment through her eyes. Though Ron avoided her eyes and stared at the floor.
'Umm- maybe you should, like, talk to Harry and try to be friends again.' Lavender suggested.
'Yeah, thanks Lavender.' said Ron.
'No problem, you know your old friend Lavender will always be there.' Lavender said with a tinge of pink just visible across her face. 'Thanks Lavender.' Ron repeated gratefully and pecked her on the cheek. Straight after that Ron's face turned an awfully deep shade of red. 'Well good night Ron.' Lavender bided and walked up the stairs leading to the girl's dormitory.
