A/N: I had serious writers block for this chapter, i knew where i was going with it but writing it was hard. That's an understatement actually. 2 things I got complaints about from the last chapter. 1. The "prophecy" was just a dream, it didn't mean anything. It basically just said a bunch of people will die before Voldemort is dead, not to mention Harry almost immediately forgot it. 2. Whether love potion is illegal or not in JRK's mind doesn't matter, basically Mrs. Weasley gave a minor an illegal substance used to control him so i think that would be illegal. Anyway if you hate Ron you'll like this chapter. If you love Harry/Lavender you'll like this chapter though it's short compared to the others. If you want to do me a favor review my avatar one shot "As i lay dying" that would be cool, thanks for reading.

Comforting the Heartbroken chapter 6

It had been exactly a week since Harry found himself unconscious in the hospital wing and he still hadn't acted on what Lavender revealed to him. Of course with all that was going on no one blamed him, he was quite busy. The morning after he had told Hermione he liked Lavender, Ron had come up to him at breakfast acting as if he hadn't done anything wrong.

"Harry mate, why'd you have to go and get my sister into trouble? She didn't mean any harm by it."

"Don't play dumb Ron; your sister was going to force me to love her! I would've been under her control and you didn't even try to warn me!"

Ron sneered, "What? Is my sister not good enough for you Potter? No surprise there, the great Harry Potter probably needs-"

"Ron!" Hermione cut him off. "What's wrong with you? You know Harry's not like that! Don't you know what your mom did to me? What Ginny almost did to Harry?"

At this Ron's face turned as red as his hair and he suddenly slapped Hermione hard across the face. She fell back but Harry caught her before she hit the ground. "How dare you!" Ron screeched through gritted teeth. "You're even worse! You got my mum in Azkaban when she was trying to help bring you into a nice pureblood family!"

At this comment Harry saw red and tackled Ron to the ground in a blind rage. Hermione watched in stunned horror as her best friend and former best friend kicked, punched, and generally beat the crap out of each other. Professor McGonagall showed up quickly and attempted to stop the fight. After several tries she finally separated the two angry teenagers.

Onlookers could tell right away that Ron had taken the majority of the damage. Harry had a bloody nose and cracked glasses but other than that seemed fine. Ron however had a black eye, broken nose and various other bruises covering his bruises. Not to mention he was crying rather heavily because right before McGonagall had separated the two Harry had curb-stomped Ron on the steps outside the great hall.

She then took 50 points from both of them but they didn't really care. Ron stayed away from Harry and Hermione after that besides glaring at them from across classrooms. Quidditch practices were temporarily on hiatus with Ginny in trouble and Ron…well being Ron.

Harry had almost forgotten what happened in the hospital wing after the drama with Ron. He kept going back and forth in his mind over whether it happened or not. That Sunday morning he came up with a plan, it was now or never.

He waited down in the common room before going to breakfast until Lavender came down. After a while Harry was getting quite bored but at ten his patience paid off as Lavender walked down the staircase combing her hair.

"Hey Lavender," He greeted her.

"Oh, hi Harry!" She gave him one of her radiant smiles. "What's up?"

"I was wondering if sometime after lunch you wanted to work on your patronus again?"

"Well…" Lavender had been planning on being lazy all day but spending time with Harry sounded a lot better. "…OK! Let's go get some breakfast first!" She said as she grabbed his hand and pulled him through the school. Harry blushed as he realized he was holding Lavender's hand.

When they got to the great hall however Lavender let go of Harry's hand, much to his disappointment. They sat next to Hermione who wanted Harry to come with her to the library (again).

"Sorry Hermione, I'm helping Lavender learn how to summon a patronus."

"Oh no problem Harry. Have fun you two," Hermione stood up to leave but not before flashing Harry a rather obvious thumbs-up. Harry groaned as he banged his head against the table while lavender giggled. A few minutes later the two finished eating and headed upstairs to the room of requirement.

They made their way through the old castle slowly, taking time to take to friends as they passed and generally enjoy the feeling of the weekend. Before they knew it the two teenagers had made it up to the room of requirement. It looked exactly the same as last time and they quickly picked up from where they had left off.

After half an hour however it appeared Lavender wasn't getting any better than last time. She was getting more and more frustrated at her lack of progress until she kicked a nearby bookcase. The metal bookcase was of course harder than she had thought and she spent the next minute hopping around in pain.

"I'm sorry Harry," Lavender sighed. "I just can't come up with a good enough memory. It's just so frustrating!"

Harry took a few steps closer to Lavender. "I know the feeling, but I have an idea. If you'll let me try it might work…"

At this point Harry was right in front of Lavender who had momentarily lost the ability to speak and instead nodded her head. Lavender's eyes drifted to Harry's and she got lost in his dreamy green eyes. His eyes got bigger as he slowly inched forward until she felt Harry's lips upon hers.

The feeling was pure bliss, a buffet of unexplainable joy spreading from her lips to the rest of her body. It was different than when she had kissed Ron; that was hard and rough, there was pleasure but not like with Harry. With Harry it was slow and soft, time stopped as the two connected for a brief moment.

And then the kiss was over as Harry pulled back. Both Gryffindor's had a blush on their face but they also had a smile. A moment passed before Lavender stuttered, "H-Harry?" He blushed brighter and looked at the ground.

"I was hoping to give you a happy memory and…" At this he turned to look her straight in the eye. "I really like you Lavender, would you maybe…be my girlfriend?"

Lavender's eyes lit up, "Oh Harry! Yes I would love to!" At this she jumped into his arms and hugged him. "I really like you too!" Harry gave out a laugh of pure happiness and spun her around as he hugged her back.

As he spun her Harry fell back onto a couch (magically appeared courtesy of the room of requirement) with Lavender on top of him. They just stared at each other for a moment until Harry once again drew his face to hers and kissed her. This kiss was even better than before, the pleasure doubled as Harry's tongue gently met Lavender's.

A few minutes later they separated as the two caught their breath. "So," Harry started, "Do you think you might be able to summon a patronus now?"

Lavender nodded at her new boyfriend, "After that? Of course! Expecto Patronum!" She shouted as a stream of white magic flooded out of her wand and formed the appearance of a unicorn.

"It's beautiful Harry…" Lavender exclaimed, the happiness apparent on her face. The Patronus ran around the room a few times before dissipating into nothing a minute later.

"You did it Lavender!" Harry said before giving his girlfriend a congratulatory hug, "That was wonderful. I knew you could do it!" Lavender gave a slight blush before thanking Harry quietly. Lavender performed the spell a few more times because she wanted to see her unicorn again while Harry waited patiently.

The couple left the room a few minutes later hand in hand which caught the attention of more than a few students. When they found Hermione and Parvati both girls were ecstatic for the new couple, offering their congratulations and "I told you he/she liked you back."

The couple continued to talk and joke with their friends for most of the rest of the afternoon until Harry had an idea. Without another word he pulled Lavender towards the grounds. When she asked him where they were going he said he was taking her on a date and summoned his broom from Gryffindor tower.

Before she could protest Harry jumped on his broom and pulled Lavender up also. She shouted out in surprise then excitement as the broom quickly left the ground and flew into the sky. Harry didn't know what was going to happen next, he didn't know if he'd be able to beat Voldemort, but for now, in this one moment he at least knew he was happy.
