Hey guys! I'm here again! And sooner than last time! Ok, well it looks like all my old readers have either abandoned me or just aren't reviewing. Thanks to those who are!

xox breezy- Yeah, Lavender's coming in. This story needed to go somewhere; you see more of her in this chapter. Sorry if you don't like her, but she plays a big part in the plot, as do little moments between certain best friends… but all these things won't necessarily last… remember that as you read, if you keep reading

kittywonders- Yeah, sorry about the cliffhanger there, I know they're evil, but they're just so fun to write! Besides, it got you to review didn't it? Thanks for reading! I'll try to keep updating as frequently as I can.

TitansQueen- thanks for reading! I hope this came fast enough!

Oh, and I've been forgetting to put this in my chapters so…

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Harry Potter, or I would not be here, I would be trying to get HBP published sooner and writing the seventh book, but sadly, I am not J. K. Rowling, and do not write nearly as well as she. All I own so far was Nick and most of the plot.

Ron's face went white within an instant.

"L-Lavender, wh-what are you doing here?"

"You should know! You wrote to me weeks ago, to ask me to come. I told you when I'd arrive! But obviously, you don't care enough to read what I say! Oh, and incase I forget- WHAT THE BLOODY HELL ARE YOU DOING KISSING HER?"
She jabbed a finger towards Hermione.

"Well, see… funny story…"

"Well I'd very much like to hear it!"

"I… well… I-i-I..."

"Yes?"

Ron shot a glance at his mom opening the door
"Look, Lav, I can't tell you right now."

"DON'T YOU LAV ME! I COME HERE JUST TO SEE YOU, AND HOPING TO HAVE SOME FUN WITH YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS, BUT NO! YOU HAD TO GO CHEAT ON ME!"

"No Lavender! I would never do something like that to you! Please believe me!"

"WHY SHOULD I? YOU OBVIOUSLY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE BOND THAT YOU TAKE WHEN YOU ASK A PERSON TO BE YOUR GIRLFRIEND RON!"

Hermione, who had been sitting there watching them with a very pale face, suddenly spoke up, but in a very faint whisper.
"Girlfriend?"

"Oh 'Mione I'm sorry! I know I didn't tell you, but I was afraid you'd take it the wrong way!"

"OH! SO YOU DIDN'T EVEN TELL HER ABOUT ME? SO YOU CHEATED ON ME WITHOUT EVEN TELLING HER THAT YOU WERE! YOU HAVEHIT AN ALL-TIME LOW RON!"

"No Lav! I never cheated on you!"

"THAT'S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TO ME!"

He was desperate to find an excuse.
"Lavender! I wish I could tell you now but I can't!"

"WHY NOT?"

"CHILDREN! What's going on here?"
Lavender calmed down slightly and stopped yelling as she turned to Mrs. Weasley.

"I'll tell you what's going on. Your SON is a dirty rotten CHEATER!"

"Harry?"
Hermione said softly as Mrs. Weasley was trying to contemplate what had been happening.

"Yeah?"

"Did you know?"

"Know what?"

"About Ron and Lavender."

"Oh, that."

"Well?"

"Yeah. I knew."

"So he told everyone but me."

"Looks like it. I'm really sorry 'Mione, but I couldn't tell you! Ron made me swear not to!"

"It's not your fault Harry."
Hermione turned and marched over toward the group of Weasleys that had now gathered around Ron and Lavender, and fought her way to the front.

Lavender was screaming at the top of her lungs.
"YEAH WELL WHY WERE YOU KISSING HER THEN?"

Ron bellowed back, more to be heard than because he was mad.
"YES I KISSED HER, BUT I HAD A GOOD REASON!"

"Ron."
Mrs. Weasley quietly piped up. She looked sad, and maybe a little bit hurt that one of her boys would do such a thing.
"I thought you said Hermione was your girlfriend…"

SMACK! Lavender had slapped Ron hard across the face. Ron had a hand over his cheek, and you could tell he was in pain. Lavender was standing in front of him, red in the face and clutching her hands in fists. Still angry that he hadn't told her, Hermione stepped forward and quickly followed suit, slapping Ron's other cheek with all her might. Everyone went silent except for a small 'ow' from Ron, who was holding his stinging face.

Finally Ginny broke the silence. She knew Ron and Hermione would need to talk to each other, and for that, she needed to get Lavender out of the room.
"Lavender, it's too late for you to go back tonight, so why don't I show you where you can sleep okay?"

Still glaring at Ron, Lavender nodded and followed Ginny out. They could hear Ginny asking softly as they went up the stairs.
"So you and Ron have been going out? For how long?"

Fred and George gave each other significant looks and said that they better be going. Bill and Charlie quickly followed suit, and they all apparated to the twin's apartment above their store, where Fred and George attempted to explaineverything thathad happened. (A/N: If I said that they lived somewhere else earlier, I'm sorry. They live in an apartment above their store.)

Mr. and Mrs. Weasley looked completely shocked.
"Ron, is it true that you cheated on these girls?"

"No Dad! I'd never do that to either of them!"

"Then why do they both say they are your girlfriend?"

"Er..."

"RONALD WEASLEY! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD DO SUCH A THING! I RAISED YOU BETTER THAN THIS!"

"But MUM!"

"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANY EXCUSES!"

"Molly, listen to what the boy has to say."

"I DON'T CARE WHAT HE HAS TO SAY!"

"Molly, come on, let's go calm down. Ron, we'll talk to you in the morning."
And with that, he led a steaming Mrs. Weasley out of the kitchen.

Ron sank down at the table with his head in his hands. Well, at least they're all gone now, he thought, but he was wrong.

Hermione slowly approached the table.
"Ron?"

Ron's head snapped up faster than lightning, and his words were just as quick.

"HermioneIrealsrydidn'tmeanhurtyoubetrayyouwhateverIdidyouoneofbestmatesandwishhadtoldbefore!"

"What?"

Ron gulped,
"Hermione, I-I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to hurt or betray you or whatever I did because you're one of my best mates, and I wish I had told you, but I didn't know how you'd take it, and I thought maybe I should wait, but it was a bad idea, and I realized it! That's why I was going to tell you tonight, but then she came in!"

"But you told Harry already. Why couldn't you have told me then too?"
She was really upset, he could tell.

"Because 'Mione! Would you walk up to your best mate, who's been acting really weird around you, and you think may fancy you and say 'Oh, by the way, this pretend thing we have here, it can never become real because I have a girlfriend.' YEAH RIGHT, It just doesn't work like that!"

Hermione looked really mad and said in a loud voice,
"What are you talking about? I never fancied you!"

"Yeah, well you were ACTING LIKE IT!"

"IT'S CALLED ACTING RON! SOMETHING WE HAD TO DO! NOT EVERYONE FALLS AT YOUR FEET WORSHIPING YOU!"
And with that, she stomped out of the kitchen, mad enough to hit him again but deciding against it.

She continued up the stairs until she got to the room she was sharing with Ginny, and now Lavender, and plopped down on her bed. She felt bad, she knew what she had said wasn't true- she did like him. She didn't want to admit it, even to herself, but she did. Damn him and his cute eyes, his warm smile… But he had led her on. Sure, they had to do it, but he had said so many things that might have meant that maybe he fancied her too. She sighed and ignored the sniffles coming from where Lavender was lying. Ginny had left sometime before Hermione had gotten there. Turning on her side Hermione tried to hold back the tears that were threatening to fall, but to no avail. It had become quite late, and she cried herself to sleep.

Ok, there's that. I hope you like it, it took me a long time to write, and I've been planning this scene for a while. I'm not the best at writing fight scenes, but I hope that it's good enough.

Please read and review, it makes my day to see that I have a new review.
