A/N: Thanks for your constructive critisimsm, I had it in mind when I wrote this next chapter. :D
"Lavender, what are you doing here?" Hermione said, feeling a mixture of anger and confusion.
"Just passing by." Lavender said, letting herself in and looking around the flat and clearly criticizing everything she set her eyes on. They reached a photo that was on a corner table. It was of her and Ron at the Weasleys'. Ron and Hermione were sitting on the couch, sitting very close together, waving and smiling at the camera.
Lavender took it and started at it, a gleam in her eye. She up it back down and continued her visual tour of the flat.
Hermione ignored this, closing the door. "Lavender what it is the meaning of this and what are you doing here in my house?" She held up the letter that was still in her hand.
"Oh, you just read it. I was hoping that you'd read it when I sent it last night." She said mischievously. "You know, that way you can have a bad night or something along the lines."
"Why are you being so evil, for lack of a better word?" Hermione said knowing that there was going to be an argument.
"Evil? I wouldn't call it 'evil' exactly. Just strategizing, you know that little saying 'all's fair in love and war'?"
"Yes, I have. But remember, I have the upper hand, after all according to you Ron chose me over you. But what if Ron left you for you? Have you ever thought that Ron got sick of your overbearing 'love' if you want to call it that. Maybe you confused 'love' with I don't know, 'popularity'?" Hermione said, trying to make a point without it getting ugly.
"'Popularity'? You think I dated Ron for popularity?!" Lavender said getting up from the sofa.
"Yes I do. Let's face it Harry was back on the map after a year of being called a deranged lunatic. Everyone wanted to get closer to him. But you knew that you weren't and aren't Harry's type so you probably thought 'Hmm. What's the next best thing? Ooohhh, I know: Ron!'" Hermione said, exaggerating a bit, but she couldn't help it she was mad.
"You are so funny! Did you know that?" Lavender said, faking a laugh, "Listen Hermione, I love Ron, and apparently you don't."
"How could you know that?! You don't know anything!" Hermione and Lavender at this point were yelling at each other.
"I know enough. If you truly loved Ron you would be dating him right now! But you're not so you don't love him!" Lavender said, coming closer to Hermione. Hermione returned the move. The girls were inches away from each other, Hermione could feel Lavender's warm breath of her face and so did the former.
"And if Ron loves you than why isn't he making a move? Yes you go out clubbing but is that really a sign of love? He takes you out to lunch or dinner, is that saying 'I love you'? No it isn't. If either one of you really truly love each other than why aren't you sharing a bed, a house, a life?!"
In a deadly whisper Hermione said: "Get out of my house."
"Did I hit a nerve?" Lavender said, satisfied with the result.
"You're a-" Hermione started to say but Lavender finished her sentence.
"A bitch?" She said, amused. "I guess, but hey you do what you have to and you become what you have to, too."
"Really? And you have to sleep around with fifty million men in two weeks?" Hermione said, her temper rising by the minute.
"Don't knock it 'til you try it." Lavender said, smiling. "Hermione, I think that a woman isn't a full-fledged woman until she has experienced the weight of a man on top of her, making love to her." Lavender said, grabbing her bag from the sofa.
"Your sick, did you know that? Is that all you really think about? Sex and the exchange of bodily fluids?!" Hermione yelled at the top of her lungs.
"Of course not, but come on let's face it. You have to experience everything life offers you. But speaking specifically of you, Hermione dear, is that you are denying that very offer." Lavender said, calmly.
Hermione took a deep breath and said: "You know what Lavender you may be right, but that give you no right to come between Ron and I. Even if I didn't love him he is still my friend and I won't let anyone come between Ron, Harry and me. Because all three of us became friends way before I started to feel something for Ron." Hermione said, fiercely.
"But is your love returned?" Lavender said, opening the door and crossing the threshold.
Hermione followed her and put her hand on it. "Even if it wasn't, I sill have Ron by my side as a friend or a lover, and the likes of you won't change that." With that she slammed the door in Lavender's face.
"Don't worry, I may be leaving now, but you haven't heard the last of me, Hermione Granger!" Lavender yelled behind the door. Hermione ignored her, and stood against the door until she heard Lavender's fading footsteps.
A/N: Review please?! Thanks!!
