Chapter 24

In the morning, the boys waited for the girls before heading down to breakfast. Harry was oblivious to the fact that Lavender had tried to look extra nice. She had put on make-up and curled her hair. Lavender sighed and looked at Parvati who was giggling and holding Neville's hand. Well, at least one of us is getting attention, she thought.

Hermione grabbed Lavender's hand and pulled her back a few paces behind the rest of the group. "Hey, I noticed how you've been looking at Harry. Do you really like him?"

"I do, but he hasn't even noticed that I still go to school here. What's his problem, anyway?" She was on the verge of tears, which surprised Hermione.

"Do you remember at the end of last year when the Daily Prophet finally started reporting the truth about Voldemort?" Hermione rolled her eyes as Lavender gave a small scream. "Anyway, Harry's godfather was Sirius Black and he was killed in a battle against death eaters in the Ministry of Magic. That battle led to the Prophet reporting the truth."

Lavender looked rather shocked at this but just said, "Oh." After a moment she regained her composure and asked, "What's going on with Harry and Ginny?"

"Um, nothing. Why? Ginny has been with Draco all summer." Lavender didn't look convinced. "Obviously they're friends, but Ginny gave up on Harry ages ago."

"Did Harry get that memo?" Lavender asked. "He seems very jealous whenever she's with Draco."

"I haven't noticed, but maybe we just need to find someone to take his mind off her. Any suggestions on who?" Hermione asked with a giggle.

"I'm always up for a challenge. Let's see what we can do." Lavender had a very determined smile on her face as they caught back up with the group.

Classes went relatively normal all day, but during lunch, Draco got his detention schedule. "Oh no," he groaned. "I get to scrape gum off the bottoms of the tables in the dungeons." Ginny looked sympathetic, but Harry and Ron chuckled. After all, they had both had enough miserable detentions to think he was getting off easy.

AN: Sorry this was so dreadfully short! But, you have no one to blame but me! So, review and I'll give you more of this fluffiness!
