Hermione woke up the next morning to yelling from downstairs. She opened her eyes and looked around, momentarily confused. Then she had remembered the night previous.

'Oh. My. Gosh. I slept with Ron!' she thought to herself.

More yelling emanated from below. She couldn't tell what they were saying, but she knew it was a woman's voice.

Hermione crept quietly down the stairs, stopping behind the closed kitchen door, listening.

"What went on last night, Ronald?" she heard Lavender's icy voice say.

"Nothing happened, darling!" Ron's voice said reassuringly.

"I hope that's true. I was so thrilled when she was out of your life because you weren't a blood traitor anymore."

"There's nothing wrong with Muggleborns, Lav. Why have you been so prejudice since sixth year?"

She didn't answer.

"Wait...are you jealous of Hermione?" he asked, laughing slightly.

"No Ron I just don't know what you ever saw in her, even as a friend. She's daft, self centered, bossy, and not attractive at all."

"Lavender, that's-" Ron's voice was quieter and somewhat fierce.

"And she thinks she can just walk in here and steal you from me. She's so full of it the filthy little mudblood."

Tears were sliding down Hermione's face. She didn't care what Lavender thought, but she did care what Ron thought. She opened the door slightly and saw them standing there. Lavender had her arms crossed over her chest, looking at Ron. Ron's back was to Hermione, but by the way he stood, she knew what his face looked like. It's one of the looks he would always give Malfoy. Angry and menacing.

"Don't you ever call her that. Hermione is not daft, she's the smartest person I've ever met! And have you heard yourself talk before? Don't you know how you act? You're the self centered and bossy one! And as for attractiveness...!" he yelled, but quieted down on the last one.

"Exactly. You don't think she's attractive." she said, starting to walk away.

"Lavender." Ron said evenly.

She stopped, turned around, looking at him and putting her hands on her hips.

"Looks aren't everything, no matter what you think. Even so, Hermione has everything perfect. The lips, the figure, you name it, Hermione's are perfect. As for you...I can't say the same."

Lavender stood there, mouth gaping slightly, staring at him with wide eyes. He turned and started to walk to the door Hermione was hiding behind. She got up and went up the stairs as quickly and quietly as she could. She opened Ginny's bedroom door, ran inside, and closed the door quietly behind her. She waited and listened as Ron passed, walking up to his room. She sighed in relief and went to her bag that was lying on the floor. She threw on a shirt and jeans, then ripped through her hair. She looked at it in the mirror. It was frizzed slightly, so she pulled it back in a ponytail. Someone knocked on the door, and she opened it.

"Hey." Ron said, smiling at her.

"Hi Ron. What was all that yelling about earlier?" she asked.

"Oh nothing. Have you seen any of my family lately?"

"Not since yesterday."

"Weird. Well you wanna eat breakfast with me?"

"Wouldn't you rather eat with Lavender?"

"Nah, I spend so much time with her already planning the wedding and all. We need to spend more time together." he said, taking her hand in his. "I really miss you, Mione."

"I know I miss you too." she said, looking down at their hands.

They entered the sitting room and Hermione stopped Ron before he walked into the kitchen.

"I'll get breakfast, you stay here, okay?"

"Alright."

Hermione walked into the kitchen and she spotted Lavender staring out the window. Lavender whipped around, glaring at her. She stood there, frozen, staring right back into Lavender's eyes. All of a sudden, Lavender was running right for her. Lavender tackled Hermione to the ground, scratching every inch of her that she could reach. Hermione screamed, but it was almost completely drowned out by Lavender's yells of anger.

"STOP TRYING TO STEAL MY WON-WON!" Lavender shouted, raising her arm to punch her.

Ron ran in the room and took in the scene right as Lavender's fist hit Hermione's cheek.

"Lavender! Stop it!" Ron yelled, running towards them.

She got another punch in before Ron pulled Hermione away from her, wrapping his arms around her protectively. The door opened and the rest of the family stepped in and looked at the three. Lavender started to go for Hermione again, but Fred and George grabbed her, each taking one of her arms.

"Lavender! Calm down!" George said, shocked.

"I will NOT calm down! That MUDBLOOD is trying to steal my BOYFRIEND!" Lavender shrieked.

"Hermione? She hasn't been doing anything! You've done more damage than she has!" Ginny exclaimed.

While this conversation was going on, Ron stroked Hermione's hair, comforting her. Lavender noticed and screamed again, punched Fred and George, then ran towards them. But Ron was ready. He stood up quickly, then moved Hermione behind him, putting her arms around himself and holding her hands.

"Leave her alone, Lav." Ron said, staring down icily into her eyes.

Lavender stared at him for a moment, then suddenly, she pushed Ron's side and pulled Hermione's arm to pull them apart. Ron fell to the floor by Fred and George's feet.

"Protego!" she yelled, pointing her wand at the Weasleys.

Now it was just her and Hermione.
