50Ron knew sooner or later he would have to confront his girlfriend, and find out why she had left him standing there in the middle of hogsmaede looking like an oblivious git. He decided the time would be sooner. So he made his way down to the Great Hall early in the morning the day after Hogsmaede. He was hopeing to meet up with Lavender there and talk. As he neared the large eating area he spotted Lavender reaching for the large noble oak doors that lead into the Great Hall...
"Hey! Lavender wait up." he shouted over a big group of little first years who were scurrying looked shocked that he was talking to her, well at least she knew she had done somthing wrong.
"Oh...well...er Hello Ron." she chirped back.
"Lavender, what the bloody hell was up with you leaving me there at Hogsmaede to take all of the blame for being there with out permission.." he really hadn't been done but Lavender had grabbed him and kissed him hard on the lips to shut him up. And it did shut him up, how was he supposed to continue yelling at her after she had just kissed him. The confrontation was...beyond doubt over.
"I am so sorry hun, can you forgive me?" Lavender said in such a sweet voice and had such a large smile on her face...but Ron didnt seem to catch the slyness in her smile.
"Its ok Lavender...lets just go get somthing to eat." he remarked before putting an arm around her waist and leading her into the Great Hall.
Hermoine was utterly disgusted...now she had never been one to snoop but when she saw Ron leave the Gryffindor comon room she knew he had come here to talk to Lavender so she had simply followed. She had never trusted Lavender, and she even trusted her less now. Hadnt Ron see that sneaky sly smile on Lavenders face when she apoligized? And hadnt Ron seen Lavender giving Dean a hug just moments before he had shown up? Evidently Hermoine had arrived before Ron, having taken a shorter route to reach the Great Hall. A hug meant nothing but friendship for Ron and Hermoine, but it could mean more for Lavender and Dean. Yet Hermoine didnt know whether or not to tell Ron what she had witnessed, she figured she had better let him figure out for himself...it might not hurt as much and be less embaressing for him if he finds out on his it hurt Hermoine to watch her best friend make such a fool out of himself.
Ron had detention at night for the next few weeks, not coming back to the common room until around 10'c'clock at night, and he was utterly exhausted each time he arrived.
Ron walked back slowly from detention...each night he had to do what ever peeves told him to do...which as all of you can think about...would not be an easy he passed a small room to his left about 30 feet from the common room he heard a girl giggle. It sounded a lot like Lavender. And being the nosy person he is, when he looked through the glass window that was over the door of the small room he saw two people Dean and a girl kissing. Yet he could not make out who the girl was, her back was to him, and i suppose he didnt want to know who it was. He knew deep down in his heart it was Lavender but he couldnt bring himself to thinking she would do such a thing. He began walking towards the Gryffindor common room, but everything seemed to be getting blurrier. He needed sleep...yet all he wanted to do was pummel Dean..and maybe Lavender too. But maybe it wasnt Lavender in that room with Dean, he tried to assure himself. But it just made him all the more dizzy.
As he entered the common room he threw himself onto the couch , he didnt even have enough strength to climb the stairs to his bed. He was mentally and physically drained, and all he wanted to do was sleep. He woke up in a very uncomfortable position with his head hanging off the couch. He tried to lift his head but he couldnt..he felt like he was going to be sick. His body was acheing and he was very sweaty, and it felt like there was a drum pounding in his head. He obviously didnt look very well because when Hermoine came downstairs humming and getting ready to go down to the library, she stopped dead when she saw Ron laying on the couch. He looked very pale, and yet had rosey cheeks. He also had been perspiring and sweat drenched his hair.
"Ron!" she yelped as she ran towards him.. "Are you ok?" Hermoine had heard that there had been a serious flu going around and she was scared he had caught it.
"I'm ok...just help me up so I can go take a shower...I have to meet Lavender downstairs in thirty minutes."
"Ronald Weasley, look at yourself! You look like you are on your death bed,and you are willing to put your health at risk for some stupid girl who was making out with Dean last night!" right then she put her hand to her mouth...she hadnt meant to say that...it had slipped...oh no..what was she going to do. She backed away slowly and she could feel the tears flooding to her eyes. She felt so bad for him, she hadnt meant for him to find out this way.
"YOUR JUST JELOUS!" he roared, just making his headache pound more...and a feeling of his head explodeing crossed his mind as a possibility quite a few times. Yet when he yelled that comment at Hermoine he knew he hadnt meant it...because it had been true and all the memories came chargeing back into his mind...a girl giggleling...dean makeing out with someone...him feeling dizzy and collapseing onto the couch. He remembered it all but he didnt want to believe it...he coudnt believe it. Yet he had read all the signs from Lavender and knew Hermoine wasnt lieing. He just couldnt face the truth. Tears were spilling from Hermoines eyes and traveling down her rosey cheeks...
"You...you...trust her..Lavender..more than me?" she tried to scream to show him how she felt but she couldnt and all that came out was a hoarse whisper.
"It looks that way." he said and folded his arms across his chest. He looked a lot more sturdy and strong than he felt...he thought to himself his was going to fall over any moment..he was so weak from all the work and he was sick on top of it all.
"Ron..." another hoarse whisper escaped her trembling he just stood there stone faced stareing into her eyes... but there was no happiness in Ron's stare, it was empty...he was empty of all the happiness and loveliness his personality had ever held. What had Lavender done to him? He had to have known she couldnt be trusted. And then with out one more word he walked away up to the showers. He almost tripped as he made his way up the steep stairs, but held his ground.
Hermoine stood there dumbfounded. How could he do such a silly thing like throwing away our friendship for a stupid girl who had cheated on him? She would never understand it. The tears stopped coming and she seemed to all together stop careing. She walked towards the library emotionless, she didnt care anymore. She just didnt care.
A/N: sorry i kno...kinda short. ok i know i wasnt very clear on this...but yes Ron is sick thats why he was so of being sick was because he was worked so hard and the other part is because ..people get sick haha oh and he was also very upset about that whole lavender/dean i am really sorry about making lavender out to be such a jerk, but someone had to be the jerk so it might as well be .I dont know if i will have 1 or 2 more chapters after this one so just keep a look out for my updates. thank u. and maybe if u get a chance review. thanks! i love u all!
