THAT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN!
Ron said good night to Lavender and watched her go up to her dormitory. He got up from his seat on the couch and stretched. He had to hurry and meet Hermione in the Entrance Hall for their shared prefect rounds. They had the last shift, from 11:00 to 12:00. Ron dragged his feet along as he walked towards the portrait hole. He was in mid-yawn when he felt the texture of the floor change. Ron looked down at the floor and saw that he was stepping on a peice of parchment. He bent down and picked up the parchment. Ron was going to throw the paper away, but something caught his attention. He saw Lavender's name in the writting and saw that there were some smudges words, as if the writer had been crying. Ron was curious, so he decided to read the note. When Ron was finished reading what was written on the peice of parchment, his heart sunk down to his stomach. He read the letter over again.
Why does he like her? Why does he have to be so lovey-dovey with her when I'm standing right in front of him? When will he realize that she is horrible for him? When will it finally hit him that I have feelings for him? Aren't I ... Oblivious? at all? Why can't he like me more than just a friend? When will he understand that I like him the way I do? When will I get over it? When will I stop...Walking? for him? What gave me the idea that he like me more than Lavender? How could I possibly think he might have such great Er.. Fridges, is it? for me? When will I get it through my head that... What is this fowl bloke's name? Tom? It looks like it says Tom.. is with Lavender and will never, not in a .. Nilon? years, be with me, .. What's this poor girl's name? I can't really tell.. damn smudges.. Helga? Helga Katherine Ginger? I didn't know there was a Helga in Gryffindor.. Maybe she's a Secong Year or something..
... I think I just Uh... lid?
Ron was furious. Lavender was cheating on him! That dirty little... And when she already had a boyfriend, that being me, she had to go and take away this Tom fellow from little Helga Ginger. What kind of person am I dating? How could Lavender be so cruel? I bet she's shagging MALFOY on the side too! That thought disgusts me, but it probably is true! That's it! I'm ending this so-called relationship! I'll do it tommarow, as soon as I see that no-good cheater. Now I better get down to Hermione before she had a cow...
With that, Ron slouched down the Grand Staircase and into the Entrance Hall. When he got there, Hermione came over and quickly started to complain.
"Ron, you were supposed to be here minutes ago! What took you so long? I was waiting and waiting. I thought that you probably ditched me to go have another one of your snog festivals with Lav Lav again. Honestly, you two are--" Hermione was cut off by Ron.
"Listen, Mione, could you just lay off! I feel horrible as it is, you don't have to go and make things worse. It's all because of that stupid note..."
Hermione froze in her spot and felt her heart stop. It couldn't have been my note, could it? It should be safe in my dormitory right now. There's no way that Ron could have read it... Is there?
"W--What note?" She asked hoping he wouldn't say what she thought he might say.
"There was this note on the common room floor. Someone must have been crying when they wrote it, because some words were smudged and hard to read. Anyway, it basically said that Lavender is currently with this git named Tom and that this girl named Helga Ginger must really like this Tom fellow, because she seemed so upset in the letter. And I just can't believe that Lavender was cheating on me," Ron said gloomily.
"I could believe that," Hermione said, but then she remembered that Lavender wasn't cheating on Ron, or at least not with "Tom". And "Helga Ginger" wasn't real. I don't even think there are any Helga's in Gryffindor!
"You could? You think she would cheat on me?" Ron asked.
"Well, yes. I mean, Lavender isn't exactly the loyal type, is she? She is one of the girls that spread gossip. And she usually gets that gossip from saying she can keep a secret, and then making that secret known to all of Hogwarts. Plus, the fact that she and Pavarti do frequently talk about all the "hot" guys in our year and the year above us doesn't exactly make her loyal to you, now does it?"
"Hermione, your right. I mean, all the signs were there. I should have known. That's it, I'm definately finished with her. I'll end it tomorrow," Ron said bitterly.
Hermione wasn't quite sure if she had done a bad thing or not. This meant that by a slight chance, a VERY slight chance, she and Ron could be together, finally. But what about Lavender? She hadn't cheated, that Hermione knew of, but she wasn't really loyal at all. Still, she didn't do anything really wrong to Ron. And now he was going to break up with her. Did she really desirve that?
"Well," Hermione said, "Let's get on with our rounds of the castle."

Hermione walked down to the Great Hall with Harry. They were heading down for breakfast, and hadn't seem Ron in the Gryffindor common room. They both assumed that he went to breakfast earlier than them. Harry and Hermione were nearing the door, when they heard yelling. The yelling sounded like it was coming from Ron. Hermione and Harry glanced worriedly at each other, before walking through the door. And what a sight they saw.
Ron was standing near Gryffindor's table with a crying Lavender in front of him. Ron's face was so red, it could have been mistaken for a tomato. Hermione was just about to think how horrible she was for doing all this, when Ron spoke again.
"So you're saying that not only did you go with this Tom guy, but you were also shagging Nott? THEODORE NOTT? A Slytherin! SLY-THER-IN! I cannot BELIEVE you! How could you be such a... That's it! I am THROUGH with you!" Ron looked absolutely furious. It was quite scary.
"But Won-Won.." Lavender cried.
"But nothing! We're done! Finished! For good!"
Hermione couldn't believe that Lavender had really cheated on Ron. And with THEODORE NOTT? Hermione shuddered at the thought. But it was all of Hermione's fault anyway. Ron wouldn't know about Nott and wouldn't have broken up with Lavender, if only Hermione hadn't written that stupid note! NONE OF THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN!
