my boy : a ron weasley story

chapter seven - jealous

A few weeks have come and gone since me and Ron said 'I love you' to eachother; every moment since then feeling like a dream. I still seriosuly can't believe my luck with him, I always thought of myself as a very unlucky person, with everything that's happened in the past, so I feel like pinching myself each rising morning to make sure it's not a dream.

I really do love that idiot.

We've been the best yet this last week however, staying up late and talking to the stars together, skipping classes to run around the forest, kissing in the rain in the courtyard- it's all still like a fairytale. Hermione and Ginny always describe it as a 'book love', like it's something straight out of a love story, and I think that's a beautiful way to word it.

Of course we've been carrying on our anatics from that night, I may or may not have had to take a day off classes as I couldn't walk very well one time but that's a story for another day...

Anyways, Lavender, Ron's ex girlfriend, is the only person it seems that is not so fond of our relationship. She constantly stares at him during meals and in lessons get's very friendly with him, touching his arm and laughing at everything he says; it's all quite amusing if I'm honest, seeing Ron look at me with that 'help me' look. I can normally stop it with my presence, walking over to him, asking 'are you okay love?' etc, but recently that doesn't seem to be working. I mean the girl is obsessed, can't blame her, but still. I'm sure she'll get over it sooner or later though, plus I know how much Ron loves me so there isn't anything to worry about- she's merely jealous.

----------------

In potions last lesson, Snape told us we're ready to learn how to make amortentia. I was beyond excited because it's such an advanced potion to learn, let alone make, and I really enjoyed potions as a lesson. I was paired up with Hermione while Ron was paired up with non other than Lavender, his face was priceless when Snape put them together; part of me felt a little wairy that she was with him, not because I didnt trust Ron, but because I didn't trust her. Whatever the feeling was I shook it off as me and Hermione followed the instuctions in the book. It was tricky at first as it is such a complicated potion but with Hermiones brains and my talent in potions we cracked it fairly quick.

I couldn't help but look over to Rons table, he looked visibly uncomfortable as Lavender was creeping closer to him as she rambled on about something, which instantly calmed me, but I couldn't help having a bad feeling in my gut.

'Hey, what's up?' Hermione questioned. I looked over to Ron and Lavender.

'Y/N, you have nothing to worry about, Ron loves you too much and would never do anything, you know that.' she tried to reasure me.

'It's not him I don't trust, it's her, you know the rumors that were spread when her and Seamus broke up-' I started, 'the things she did to try and get him back, I'm just worried that's all.'

Hermione reassuringly smiled at me as she realised how emotional I was getting and hugged me.

'I know, she's mad as a hatter but Ron's love for you is something next level, okay? I've seen the way he looks at you and talks about you, he's truly fallen for you. Have hope N/N.' she whispered so that no one else heard.

I blushed at her remark and thanked her as we finished up the potion, which I have to say we did a pretty amazing job at. Snape came over, hovered over it before giving a small grunt of approval.

'Exceptional job Miss Granger and Miss L/N...96% for the both of you.'

We squealed in joy and hugged eachother, thanking him as he sashayed away.

Ron's POV

She looked so happy when Snape marked her potion, I was so proud of her.

My potion on the other hand was not so good. Lavender insisted on preparing all the ingredients which when I tried correcting her on she began to move closer to me, freaking me out a little, so I just gave up in the end. She acted weird with me the whole lesson, making me question how I ever went out with her if I'm honest.

'Okay Ronniekins, I think we're done.'

'Erm, please don't call me that..it's a little weird.' I tried to say in the nicest way possible, but she wasn't a fan.

'Whatever, I forgive you because you're just too cute.' she said in her annoying baby voice, trying to boop my nose to which I moved away.

Snape came over and looked disaprovingly at the cauldron, turning his nose up at the smell.

'You call this a potion Weasley? My first years could have created better, 20% for the both of you.' he said in his monotone voice. Before I could protest and explain I wasn't the one who made it he had already swayed away to the next table, I sighed and sat back in my seat, scooching away from Lavender. I could have sworn I saw her go over to the girls cauldron when they weren't looking but I didn't care enough to think about it.

The lesson ended and all I wanted was a cuddle with Y/N, that lesson was pure tourture having to sit next to Lavender and so I just wanted her.

'Water?'

Lavender poked my shoulder, handing me a water bottle.

'Oh, er.. I don't-'

'Take it.'

'Erm.. okay.'

Well that was weird. I took a sip as I was actually a little thirsty but it didn't taste right, it tasted awfully sweet and sickly- eh whatever it's probably just meant to be flavoured or something.
