"have you seen ron?" lily asked ernie, meeting with him outside their first class.

"no, why are you still thinking of that bloke?"

"didn't you hear what happened? his house got burned down. i don't- i just want to make sure he's okay."

"i'm sure he can live without your concern. but i think i saw him near the left wing for the first floor."

"thank you, ernie! i'll find you later for herbology?" she kissed his cheek.

"mhm, see you then, vi."

the two went their separate ways, lily heading to the ground floor of the left side of the school.

she found harry and hermione standing in the middle of the hallway.

"mione! harry! are you okay?"

"i'm fine, lily."

"seen ron?" she asked, before noticing at who they were pointing at.

it was ron and lavender.

lavender was giggling and wrapping her arms possessively around rons neck.

"what?" he snarled. she felt small under his annoyed eyes.

"just wanted to make sure you were okay," she said softly, avoiding both of their menacing looks.

"i'm fine," ron answered coldly. his eyes were dark.

"okay, well, um, if your mom, or you need anything, you can always come find me," she said quietly before dismissing herself.

ron sighed. he looked at lavender and drowned out her voice, wishing lily was the only one who'd speak to him.

he was seriously starting to reach a limit to her attitude. she was a nice girl, but no one compared to lily.

lavender didn't make ron feel anything like how he felt when lily would hold his hand, touch his face, or embrace him.

he'd only kissed lily's lips once, and it was a million times more blissful than any snog he'd shared with lavender.

the thought that ernie had probably kissed lily more than he has, angered him.

"won-won!" lavender shouted, snapping him back into reality and out of his thoughts.

"huh?"

"what are you thinking so much about? it better not be that toad."

"she's just a friend," he answered quietly.

"think of her again, and you'll never hear the end of it, won-won," she threatened with a smile.

ron gulped and shook his head, getting up only to have her jump onto his back. he internally groaned.

this isn't how he imagined his sixth year.
