Harry, Ron and Hermione went to Hogsmeade that weekend ("And good timing, too! I've been saving up to get something at Zonko's," Ron said.). When they got there, Ron, Hermione, and Harry had split up and decided to meet at The Three Broomsticks when they were finished shopping. Harry set off to Honeydukes to see Lavender.

"I was wondering where you were! What took you so long?" Lavender said immediately as Harry entered the sweet-smelling wizard candy shop.

"Oh, er, Hermione had a bit of a spill coming off of the carriage," Harry explained.

"I hope she's alright…" Lavender and Hermione had developed a strong friendship during the term. "Ah, she's fine. Just a few scratches, I guess."

"Oh, that's good. I mean- well, you know what I mean…" Lavender blushed.

"Yeah, I know what you mean." Harry took Lavender's hand and went over to a table with a platter of fizzing whizzbees and acid pops, which happened to be Lavender's favourite candy.. Harry smiled at her, and bought her a bunch of acid pops that were tied in a ribbon. "Here. Because I missed your birthday."

"But my birthday was in July! You don't have to do that," Lavender chuckled. But Harry insisted and handed her the bunch. She took it, gave Harry a wry smile. Harry leaned over to give Lavender a kiss on the cheek. Hand –in-hand, they set off to the Three Broomsticks.
