"He did what?" said Hermione, rubbing her eyes from sleeping.
"He kissed me!" said Heather.
"Was it a small kiss, or a big kiss, if you know what I mean?"
""It only lasted like 10 seconds." said Hermione.
"You counted?" said Hermione
"Yes, I did , what do you expect, it was my first kiss." said Heather."Didn't you count the first
time Cedric kissed you?" said Heather.
"How do you know Cedric kissed me?" said Hermione.
"Well, when Ron and I were leaving the Great Hall, you were around the corner kissing." said Heather.
"Well, ... okay, I kissed him okay, or he kissed me. I don't know!" said Hermione.
"Well, lets go to bed, because we have another potions test." said Heather.
The girls awoke early to study for the test. Heather could not sit still, cause she wanted to see Ron. She could not bear sitting there, so she got up, and went to see Ron.
When Heather got down to the common room, Ron was not alone. It was not Harry, it was Lavender! Heather decided to stay back, to see what happened. They were laughing, enjoying each other. It seemed Ron had no feelings for Heather the way he was talking to Lavender.
"Ron,..., will you please go to the Winter Formal with me, yes I know about Heather, but you can just dump her?" said Lavender. Then she did something Heather least expected. She kissed him.
"WITCH!" said Heather.
"What was that?" said Ron.
"Heather,.. is that you." said Ron pushing Lavender off him.
"It is nothing." said Lavender, kissing Ron again. But this time, he was not pushing her off. Heather, just sitting there, seeing the boy she really liked, cheating on her.
"RON, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" said Harry busting in on them.
"Nothing, she kissed me!" said Ron.
"It sure did not look like a kiss" said Heather coming out from were she was hiding.
"Heather!" said Ron.
"Lavender, you can go to the Winter Formal with him, cause I' m not." said Heather.
"Heather, please, she kissed me!" said Ron.
"I saw, what I saw Ron, and it sure did not look like she kissed you.!" said Heather, bursting out crying, running up to her dorm.
"Heather, come back!" said Ron.
Heather did not go to classes for a couple of days. Hermione brought her the work she missed, and teachers gave her the tests she had missed. Hermione also brought her breakfeats, lunch, and dinner to her bed.
"Ron, I can not believe what you did to her!" said Hermione. "She has not eaten for three days, she has not spoken to me, and guess what see did when you kissed her the night before, she was jumping up and down on the bed , excited, that there is someone out there who really cares about her!"
"I said, she came on to me." said Ron
"But, you did not pusher her off." said Harry.
"Okay, I'll admit, I kissed her back, but I wish I hadn't, because I really like Heather, not Lavender.." said Ron, not making eye contact with them."Can we change the subject, please?"
"Any word on Black?" said Hermione.
"No, but he is probably close." said Harry.
When the three headed up to the dorm, everybody was crowded around something. "Neville must have forgotten the password again." said Ron.
"Hey!" said Neville, behind them.
"Get out the way, Professor Dumbledor, coming through!" said Dumbledor.
"The Fat Lady, she is not in her frame." said one person.
"THERE SHE IS" said another person.
"Fat Lady, who did this to you?" said Dumbledor.
"He is in the castle, running around like a weirdo.! SIRIUS BLACK!" said the Fat Lady.
"Get all the students down the Great Hall, NOW!." said Dumbledor ferociously.
"Heather, were are you, are you alright!" said Hermione, busting into the dorm.
"I'm right here." said a small voice.
Hermione went to were the voice was coming from. There she was , skinny, pale, almost looked like she could brake into two.
"Heather, we are staying in the Great Hall tonight."said Hermione.
"What? Why?" said Heather.
"They spotted Black near the castle." not telling how close he was.
"That means that I have to see Ron doesn't it." said Heather.
"Yeah." said Hermione.
"Well, I am not talking to him!" said Heather.
Heather got dresses, grabbed some of her stuff, and headed down to the Great Hall. When they got out of the girls dorm, there he was, sitting there, Ron, sitting how he always does while waiting for her to grab her stuff for classes.
"Heather,...how are you?" said Ron.
"I'm fine." said Heather. She walked quickly past him, leaving Hermione back in the dorm.
"She looks horrible!"said Ron.
"What do you expect!" said Hermione. "Being in that dorm, for four days! You needed to talk to her, You know, she said all she wanted the truth, and she was going to forgive you because that is how much she likes you!"
"I'll go talk to her." said Ron.
Ron was pulling all what happened into his head to explain it to her to what happened. While he was walking down the stairs, he spotted Heather. As he was walking down, Crabb walked up to her.
"Hi Heather, I have not seen you in a while. Well, I heard about your break-up with Ron, and well, I was wondering if you would like to go the formal with me?" said Crabb.
"Well, I was thinking about getting back with Ron, and going to the formal with him. I know what happened, Lavender told me everything." said Heather.
"What? After what he did to you, you are going to go back with him!" said Crabb.
"Crabb, have you ever heard forget and forgive? " said Heather.
"No, but you are making a big mistake." said Crabb.
"Well, if I am, at least I took a chance." said Heather.
Just then, Ron saw the goodness in Heather. She was going to forgive him, and get back together with him.
"Heather, wait up!" said Ron.
"You heard what I said to Crabb, didn't you, and don't lie because I now you did."
"Okay, I heard you, but I was going to come and apologize to you." said Ron.
"Well, apology accepted." said Heather.
"So, are we still going out, and going to the Winter Formal?" said Ron.
"Yeah, sure." said Heather.
