I would like to apologize that this was not up yesterday. My computer was having problems. But now I'm using my laptop, and Millicent's should be up tonight. Enjoy!

Student: Lavender Brown
Prompt: Pearl
Brown, Lavender
"Lavender, would you please remove you necklace from my line of sight? I am trying to read."
Lavender frowned at Hermione and huffed. "They are real pearls. My grandfather got them for me." Hermione rolled her eyes and continued to read. "He told me that they would attract even more boys. They like expensive things.
Parvati looked at her bewilderedly. "I think that would only work if the boy was a pureblooded Slytherin." Lavender sent her a look that clearly meant 'be quiet' and turned back to Hermione.
"Speaking of boys," she started furtively, "Do you have any special boys in mind this year, Hermione?" Hermione's cheeks went red and made a point to ignore the blonde. "Are you sure? Because if there is a boy, I could help you-"
"I would not need your help even if there was a boy!" Hermione snapped, shutting her book furiously, "And if you refuse to give me peace, I'm going to the common room to read!" She stomped out of the room in a flurry of robes and hair, leaving a shocked Lavender and a giggling Parvati.
"You didn't have to make her mad," Parvati reasoned, "You know who she likes. It's painfully obvious."
"Of course I know! She has clearly liked Weasley for forever. And I'm positive that he likes her too. They just need to realize it." She looked at herself in the mirror, deep in thought. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and a smile formed on her face. "Parvati, what is the easiest way to make someone realize their feelings?"
"Am I supposed to know?" she asked, confusion sweeping across her features.
Lavender smiled widely. "Jealousy. When another girl dates Ron and Hermione is jealous, she'll realize that she has to go after him."
"You mean that someone is going to pretend to like Ron? Who would do that?"
Lavender clasped the pearls behind her neck and let the necklace fall across her collar bone. "I am, of course. After all, I'm an amazing actress." She blew a kiss at the mirror and smirked. "Watch out Ronald Weasley, you are about to see the best performance that Hogwarts has ever seen."
Oh Lavender... :) Please review!
