Chapter 3

Over the next few days, Lavender tried avoiding Oliver, which wasn't that hard because it seemed like he was trying to avoid her as well. Dean on the other hand was a different story. Whenever Lavender saw him, she would start a debate in her head of whether or not to go up to him and apologize. One drawback from this strategy: By the time she was finished arguing, Dean was nowhere to be found. He was probably avoiding her also.

Lavender had really gone through a whole personality change. She had become more secluded and to herself. The one who noticed this the most was Parvati. She would always try to do things to cheer up Lavender, but nothing seemed to work.

One Thursday morning, during breakfast, Lavender had lost her appetite when Colin Creevy spilled syrup when he bumped into Nearly Headless Nick. In this process, Nick's head tipped over.

"Erm, I'm just going to go back to the dormitory," said Lavender, trying not to look in Collin or Nick's direction.

Parvati stuffed a large spoonful of cereal in her mouth and said, "Okay, wait up. I'm nearly finished…"

"Oh no, I think I'm just going to go and study. You take your time." said Lavender, rushing out of the Great Hall. She actually wanted to get away from Parvati. Maybe it was just a phase…

"Hey everyone, look who it is," yelled a voice, "It's the Hogwarts REJECT!"

Lavender turned around and found herself face to face with Pansy Parkinson. "Go away Miss Priss." said Lavender.

Pansy gasped and said, "Oh Lavender, you are SO immature!"

Lavender laughed, "Wow, that's a really big word for you, Miss Priss."

"Why don't you just go back to your boyfriend Brown? Oh wait, that's right, you never had a boyfriend!"

There was Lavender's weak point. She pointed her want at Parkinson and yelled, "AMPHIBROSA!!"

Hundreds of little green warts sprouted across Parkinson's face. She screamed and said, "You are such a depressed freak!!" and with that, she ran towards the dungeons.

Lavender looked around and found that she was surrounded by a group of students, looking amazed. Parvati was one of them.

"Wow, great job Lav.! You really taught her a less…Lav.?" Parvati turned to see Lavender storm off towards the Gryffindor tower. Parvati ran to the girls' dormitory and found Lavender sitting on her bed. She looked as if she had been crying. When she saw Parvati approach her, she tried to hide her face, but Parvati had already seen the tears.

"Lavender, you've got to stop this," started Parvati, "You can't keep hiding yourself from everyone and moping about what happened that night." She looked to see if Lavender got any of this. Lavender gave Parvati a look, and then turned her back to her.

Parvati heaved a frustrated sigh. "Fine, if you aren't going to fix this, I will." Parvati grabbed a hold of Lavender's hand, and practically dragged her to the common room. And Lavender saw him, there in the corner, reading his quidditch book. She tried to escape back to the dormitories, but Parvati had a firm grip on her sleeve. Finally, the two girls were standing right in front of Oliver Wood. He looked up from his book, and his face fell when he saw them standing there. Lavender felt the lump beginning to form in her throat.

Parvati looked from Lavender to Oliver, and then said, "Oliver, you and Lavender have to talk. You can't keep avoiding each other." Then she turned to lavender, and said quietly, "I'll be in the dormitories if you need me" then added, "Don't need me."

Lavender watched Parvati go up the stairs, and then turned to Oliver. There were a few seconds of awkward silence, and then Oliver spoke up.

"Look, Lavender, I'm really sorry," he started, "I don't know what I was thinking. I didn't think you would—"

You didn't think I'd what?" Lavender yelled. Other people turned their way, so she lowered her voice and said, "You didn't think I'd care? You didn't think I'd…believe you? Well, I did, and you'd be a real idiot to think I didn't care."

Oliver frowned, "Well, I didn't know you would take it so seriously. I didn't know you actually 'treasured' those love notes!"

"Well, what did you expect? How do you think I would've acted when I found out about my 'secret admirer'? I thought you actually liked me…" Lavender turned away from him.

"Look, It's not that I didn't like you, it's…I don't know. I didn't know you'd make such a big deal about it. I didn't know you liked me back."

"Oh please, you knew I had a crush on you since first term."

"Fine, I knew you liked me, but the other guys knew that too. They thought it would be a good laugh if we…"

"So this whole thing was just a 'good laugh' between you and your friends? You really hurt me."

"I know, and I mean it when I say I'm sorry, honestly. In the beginning, it was just for fun, but then I saw how excited you got, and I felt bad. Soon, it was my friends writing the letters, not me. I really did want to stop."

Oliver looked at Lavender. She turned away; she couldn't bear to look at his beautiful traitor face for too long. After a while, she said, "I don't know what to think, Oliver." She turned to face him, "I know you're sorry, and I believe you when you said your friends made you do it, but I can't stand the fact that you lied to me, and about something that you know I'm sensitive about. And it seemd like you didn't even care. On New Year's Eve, you were going along with your friends. And the other day, I-I saw you sitting with another girl and-I-" Lavender could feel the tears coming.

Oliver put his head down and said quietly, "That was my old girlfriend, Clara Tank. If it makes you feel any better, I broke up with her two days after New Years."

Lavender looked up, and as she did so, Oliver leaned forward and kissed her. At first, Lavender's mind was whirling, and then she relaxed a little and kissed him back. After a while, Oliver stopped and looked into Lavender's eyes.

"So, now do you forgive me?"

Lavender just kissed him again, and that was good enough for Oliver.
