This is heaven to no one else but me;
And I'll defend it as long as I can be
Lavender? What is she doing here?
"Ron Weasley?"
Breathe in. Breathe out. Count back from ten. Breathe, Hermione. Just wait for the drinks and try not to blow anything up. Look away from the table.
"How are you? It's been so long!"
Ten.
"I didn't know you were here. You live near the Leaky Cauldron? I would have owled you to have lunch with me sooner if I knew."
Nine.
"Of course, I barely have time these days. Work, work, work! I wonder if this is what it feels like to be Hermione."
Eight!
"Oh, no, I didn't mean anything against her! No, honestly! You two got together after our sixth year, I suppose?"
Seven.
"Wow, married, you say? Really?"
Six.
"I am surprised, yes. I didn't think you two would last longer than a month. I spent more time out of the library than she did and you broke up with me after a few months. I guess you didn't want a lot of fun in a relationship? Just a snogging partner?"
Five.
"I am not still bitter, thank you very much. I just want to know what she could she give you that I couldn't. I was certainly more experienced than her! You can bet I still am."
Four.
"A scarlet woman?! Me? Hardly! Besides, the only person she could get to snog her before you was Krum. 'Course, I heard rumours of her and that seventh year Ravenclaw prefect..."
Three-two-one. That filthy little...
"Lavender! How lovely to see you."
