Background:
Seventh Year
Summary: Lavender doesn't like it when she finds out that Hermione went to Seamus for advice on Draco and not her.
Quote from All Grown Up
Lavender walked into the Common Room in time to see Hermione thank Seamus enthusicially before hugging him and skipping out of the portrait hole, not even stopping when as she greeted Lavender.
"What was that all about?" Lavender asked, laughing lightly.
"Well, Hermione and Malfoy had a slight disagreement and she came to talk to you about it yesterday, but you were gone. So, she talked to me, since I was the only one in the Common Room. I told her they should both take a calming draught and then talk things out. I guess it worked." Seamus nodded, feeling very proud of himself.
"For now." Lavender replied off handedly.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Well," Lavender sat down in the chair across from Seamus, leaning forward and fixing Seamus with a look, she continued, "it takes a very special kind of person to be an advice giver. You have to be soft on the inside, but tough on the outside—like leftover lasagna. Ask yourself, Seamus, are you leftover lasagna?"
"What are you talking about?" Seamus gave Lavender a look like she was crazy.
"Relationships and style are the only things I can help Hermione with and I do not appreciate you walking in and thinking that you can take over one of those things."
"But you weren't there…"
"Then you should have told her to wait. And everyone who knows anything about Hermione's relationship with Malfoy is that every disagreement it solved by sex, whether make-up or angry, it always works and they don't fight for a few weeks. I give your solution a day."
With that said, Lavender made her way up to the seventh year girls' dorm to vent to Parvati, who was just as frustrated with the situation as Lavender.
Sure enough, when Hermione and Draco entered the Great Hall the next morning for breakfast, they were yelling at each other. Lavender sent Seamus a haughty look before walking over to Hermione and taking her out of the Great Hall and back to the Heads' Tower she and Draco shared.
