Chapter 14 – Jealousy Is The Key
'Harry seriously, you need to ask someone to go to Slughorn's Christmas thingy,' Larissa said for the umpteenth time,
'I know, I'll ask someone, someone I like.' He replied, his answer was always along the lines of that so Larissa just rolled her eyes,
'The next person you see, you ask, okay?'
'What? No! That's- What if it's Ron or someone?' He spluttered?
Larissa whacked his arm playfully, 'Oh honestly Harry, use your common sense! But come to think of it... Do you have any?'
Harry pouted and then grinned at her, 'Maybe I do, maybe I don't.'

Harry had kept his word and by that time the next day, he had a date.
Luna.
That was alright though, Luna was nice, and she would enjoy going with Harry.
Larissa was on her way back to the Gryffindor common room when she heard a faint sobbing coming from a classroom that was currently being unused. She went up to it and turned the handle, it wouldn't open; it was locked.
Larissa took her wand out, 'Alohamora,' she whispered and then opened the door slowly.
By the window, sat a girl. To Larissa's surprise, she saw that the girl had the brown bushy hair (even though it was more tame these days) that belonged to Hermione.
She went over to Hermione and gently placed a hand on her shoulder, making the older girl jump in surprise, and her crying almost cease.
'Hermione? What's the matter?' She asked gently,
Hermione sniffed slightly, and pointed out the window,
Larissa looked out of it, it was overlooking the Quidditch pitch, she saw Harry down there, they had obviously just finished practicing. She then saw Ron, with… Lavender… Attached to his face. Well, that was what it looked like from back up in the castle anyway,
'It'll be alright Hermione,' Larissa said soothingly. 'You'll see. Ron's just being… Ron. But he'll come around, one of these days he'll realise that all he's ever wanted has been right there in front of him for years, just you wait.'
'I'm not so sure,' Hermione whispered,
'He will, he just needs some time to realise that there's no one better for him than you Hermione,'
Hermione smiled slightly, and Larissa dried Hermione's tears with a tissue, before taking her hand and they then went to the common room.
'Who are you taking to Slughorns Christmas thing?' Larissa asked, she knew that Hermione had been going to ask Ron, but according to Harry, she had made arrangements with someone else.
'Cormac,' Hermione replied stiffly, her eyes flitting over to a boy sat on the sofa, joking around with his friends.
Larissa followed Hermione's gaze and saw him sitting there,
'McLaggen?!' She said in a furious whisper, Hermione motioned for her to be quiet so she took Hermione's wrist and pulled her up the stairs and into her dormitory before closing the door.
'McLaggen?' She said again, this time louder, 'I seem to recall you saying he was vile!'
'I thought that he would make Ron jealous the most,' she said awkwardly,
Larissa looked at her incredulously, 'You're seriously going to bring Cormac McLaggen as your date just to make Ron jealous?'
Hermione bit her lip and nodded. Larissa rolled her eyes, she would never understand. Well, maybe she would when she was older.
'There we go again, 'when I'm older''
she thought to herself.

Larissa still had the kiss with Matthew worrying her, but she couldn't very well do anything about it now could she? Both Matthew and Amelia were not at Hogwarts for Christmas, and there was enough strain on hers and Draco's relationship, and she had a feeling that that might just be the last straw.
So she would have to keep it bottled up inside of her for the rest of the month, until she could talk with Matthew.
Larissa was enjoying this time at Hogwarts over Christmas, as it gave her more time to spend with Harry, Ron, Hermione, and even Draco when he would let her, as her friends had gone home except for Will.
Hermione had somehow roped her into her scheme to make Ron jealous, just how she had succsessfully made him jealous at the Yule Ball, in their fourth year (and Larissa's second), Larissa had heard all about that, it had made Hermione upset at first, but then she realised that Ron had been jealous, and that had given her hope for the future for them.
It had been clear right from the start (to everyone but themselves) that Ron and Hermione were made for each other, and it slightly frustrated some people; this whole 'Lavender' thing going on, as most wished that they would just get together and be done with it, that would save a lot of arguments that they often had.
Larissa and Hermione had gone to Hogsmeade together, to try and find the perfect dress for Hermione to wear, they did eventually find one, it flattered Hermione brilliantly, she really did look amazing in it, now they just had to think of a way to make sure that Ron would definitly see her in it, without Lavender or Cormac around.
