A/N: Hello, Hello, Hello!

I'm back and sorry about not updating soon, its cause of all the Christmas and New Year hype, hehe.

Thank you so much for the couple reviews, I appreciate it.

The chapter's a bit short but the story needs it so…

Chapter 7: The Aftermath

Harry woke up with a piercing headache.

'Hangover.' he groaned.

The night before seemed like a complete blur until Harry realised his and Lavender's clothes scattered on his bed, luckily the curtains around his four-posted bed were shut because he was completely naked. And right next to him was an equally naked sleeping Lavender.

'Oh crap! What have I done?' he thought miserably, burying his face in his hands. Harry watched Lavender as she started waking up. As she opened her eyes and realised where she was, a look of horror crept upon her face. She opened her mouth to speak but Harry covered it with his hand and put a finger on his lips to indicate for her to be quiet. He peered through the gap in the curtains and found the dorm room empty. He sighed in relief.

"Everyone's already at breakfast.' he told Lavender as she nodded.

Judging by the horrified expression on her face Harry felt that he had to explain their situation.

'We were drunk. We didn't plan for this to happen. It was all just one BIG mistake.'

'I know Harry, I know what happened. I just don't know what to tell Ron and Hermione.' she replied worriedly.

'We'll just have to pretend it didn't happen or else it will just worsen our situation with the both of them.' he explained. They both got dressed in silence. too worried and regretful to speak.

Then they decided to go separately so it wouldn't look suspicious.

Lavender nervously walked down to the Great Hall meeting Ron on the way.

'How come you weren't at breakfast?' asked Ron with raised eyebrows.

'Umm… too much punch last night, you know.' she replied uneasily.

'Oh yeah. Last night was a bloody disaster. You'd never guess what happened last night.' said Ron dropping his voice level mid-sentence.

'Did something happen between you and Hermione?' Lavender enquired, dreading what the answer could be.

'Hell no! But you'd wish after I tell you!' he said a little hysterically.

'Err what then?' asked Lavender bemusedly.

Ron dropped his voice even lower so only Lavender could here, 'I made out with the dickhead.'

His ears glowed bright red.

'W-what?'

'I kissed MALFOY!' he shouted in outrage making passers-by stop and stare.

Lavender couldn't help herself and started to have a fit of giggles which soon turned into loud fits of laughter.

First Ron just stared then couldn't help but laugh himself, both of them clutching their sides from laughing so much.

Lavender jumped onto Ron and embraced him making his knees buckle.

'So I'm not mad at you anymore Lav! Cause it turns out I've done exactly the same thing!' he said still laughing.

'I love you Ronald Weasley!' she said joyously and planted a passionate kiss on his lips.

A/N: Okay, I know this chapter's a little bit bizarre but I kinda find it amusing. LOL. Next chapter would be of course more dramatic and I believe would be the last one for this fic so after the 8th chapter this fic (after 2 and a bit years) will finally be finished!!! Again as you are reading this sentence make sure to review right after!!
