to say ron was furious would have been underestimating.
of course hermione would jump on the next available person. and of course it was fucking pansy parkinson.
he thought he wanted hermione back for a while, but now that she decided to be a bitch, he just wanted revenge.
he was fuming, his cheeks flushed a chrimson red from anger as he entered the ministry of magic on a specific rainy day.
the ginger made his way through the crowded corridors, passing all kinds of wichtes and wizards, though he was too focused on his destination.
the dark oak door made a hallow sound when he knocked on it.
he waited for a cue to enter while he read the golden name tag that read 'brown' in cursive letters.
"yes." came the short, sharp signal.
he regretted to open the door as soon as he did.
"ronald weasley?!"
lavender browns scream was captured by her office walls and ron flinched at her high pitched voice.
but before he could even take a breath, she rambled on,
"how dare you showing your stupid face after you dumped me for one night with one of your dense fangirls?"
he saw a book flying towards him though could dodge it before it hit him, but instead the antique painting behind him.
"lavender," he tried calming her down, taking the next book out of her hands, for both of their safety. "i know you're upset, but let me explain."
the smaller witch stared up at him, enraged yet somewhat curious.
"i want revenge. hermione is sleeping around with a bloody slytherin girl."
lavender crossed her arms and leaned against her desk.
"and why do you expect me to help you?"
"cause' you need me. for your social status and for your ego. you love me and you adore the attention you get when you're with me."
yes, ron weasley was an utterly selfish, manipulative person.
it was silent for a second.
ron was smiling and lavender frowning, both because they knew he was right."so," she broke the uncomfortable tension, "what could you possibly have in mind?"
"in need pansy parkinsons file about her hogwarts years and connections to the death eaters."
"granger's sleeping around with pansy parkinson?!" brown exclaimed.
"can't believe it myself..." run muttered under his breath.
"i hope you thought this through," lavender sighed, before going behind her desk, opening one of the drawers filled with papers and documents.
she scanned her archive, picking out a certain record.
"here you go."
ron grinned, his eyes flying over the written information in front of him.
"oh this is too good, this is way too good." he mumbled over and over again.
lavender slowly started to hop onto his plan, putting the puzzle together.
"that's actually really clever..." she smirked as an idea popped up in her head.
she fumbled between her notes, holding up a business card. "let's make it more interesting." she grinned.
the little card read the name 'rita skeeter'.
