"Harry…What's wrong?" Lav asked him.
"Well… I don't know that I can tell you. I'm cheating on Cho with you and… And everything is so confusing. I'm in love with more people than I can handle and…" Harry said.
"Harry, I can fix that," Lav giggled, as she straddled him.
"No… Lav, I need you to stop… I need to go," He stood up, making Lavender notice his troubled face was creased with more than just guilt over her.
"Harry, am I the only girl? Other than… than Cho, I mean?" Lavender asked worriedly.
"Bye Lav," Harry said, without answering. But the look in his eyes was answer enough.
"Harry please tell me!" She grabbed his arm.
"I've got to go."
As he walked out of the room, Lavender sat on the couch and held still shaking. As soon as he left the room, she burst into tears. Dammit I know he's cheating on Cho with me and I was fine with that. I should be fine with this…
In the Gryffindor Common Room"Harry, your homework better be done," Hermione said.
"Shove off."
"Where's Cho? Why are you so sad?" Ginny whispered into his ear.
"Just… I just am."
"Well, can I help?" Hermione said louder than Harry wanted her to.
"The DA room should be good."
"I'm there."
"Me too," Ginny said.
"No Ginny. Stay here," Harry pleaded. "Please. For me."
"Ok." Hermione left.
"Ginny, Cho's not the only one I'm cheating on."
"Umm… Ok?"
"When you came into the room of requirement the other day Lavender had just left." Harry said.
"Is Lav… Is Lav…" Ginny choked. Why am I choking up. I'm not even in a serious relationship with him she thought. Its because you love him said that naucious voice in the back of her mind. She sucked it up. "Is Lav another secret?"
In Herbology"We are going to study today old witch names for plants. Who can tell me what Baboon tears are?" Professor Sprout said.
Hermione instantly raised her hand. "Baboon Tears was a common name to witches for Dill Juice.
"Very good. Five points to Gryffindor. Now who can tell my why these strange names were used?" Sprout quizzed.
Harry raised his hand. He surprisingly knew the answer. Even more surprisingly, so did Neville. Sprout called on Neville.
"Medival witches used animal names for plants to make them seem more disgusting. Instead of having a potion with fern you'd have a potion with skin of human."
"Neville! Good Job! That's amazing. Fifty points to Gryffindor," Sprout exclaimed.
"All right Neville," the Gryffindors cheered.
In the ROR"Harry, are you in here?" Lav said.
"Ya Lav. Hang on," Harry said.
"Well hurry up."
We need a back door. Harry thought it and one appeared. Ginny left.
"Bye Harry," she whispered.
"Come in Lav."
"Hey, whats up? You look sad." Lav snuggled onto the couch next to him, looking sexier than ever.
"Not much sexy. You ready?" Harry smiled.
"Definitely."
And there Harry lost his virginity. When Lav finally stopped coaching him, and she said to just relax, Harry thought about a lot. First of all, Lav wasn't a virgin. She couldn't of been. Second, how could he do this to Ginny? How could he do this to Cho? This was completely not how Harry thought he was going to turn. What happened? Seemed like one moment he and Cho were going to make the commitment he just made to Lav, then he fell in love all over again with Lav. When Lav left, it seemed he held the heart of Ginny. Held three hearts. What ever happened to Harry to make him feel so good yet so god damned guilty?
In the Gryffindor Common Room.
Harry walked in, and as soon as Ron saw his face, he cracked a smile.
"Someone's not a virgin anymore," He cracked. "Wow Harry, you and Cho made a commitment?"
"Sorta like that."
Hermione was giving Harry a glowingly furious look.
"What is wrong with you," Harry said. Ron left the room. He supposedly had to pee.
Hermione stood up, walked over to Harry, and slapped him so fricken hard Harry was sure he'd never feel such immense pain again.
"OWW! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR HERMIONE!" Harry yelled furiously.
"FOR GINNY! FOR LAVENDER! FOR CHO! HARRY YOU CAN"T GET AWAY WITH THIS! ITS NOT RIGHT! GODDAMN HARRY WHATS YOUR PROBLEM?" Hermione yelled just as loud and furiously
"Oh shit. Hermione I don't know how it happened." Harry looked into her eyes and broke down and did something he;d never thought he'd do in public. He cried. Tears of pain from Hermione's slap. Tears of guilt. Tears of just plain pain. "Hermione I'm so sorry."
"You can fix this Harry. You can, you just need the guts," Hermione said.
I have no fricken guts. No glory. I'm cheap. I ought to be hung.
There's one way to take care of this. And only my blood is spared.
