"Maybe you're right," Lavender said, resting her head against Seamus's shoulder. "Maybe I'll fall madly in love with Neville Longbottom, or a Raven-boy, and I won't be able to squash my romantic urges. Time will tell."
Lavender gave Seamus a kiss on the cheek when he confirmed he wasn't going anywhere. It was the same as she'd give to Parvati or her father, a thank-you for putting her mind at ease. People said that, in time, you would grow apart from your school friends, but while Lavender knew she would never remain friends with everyone, her best friends were a priority. "So I'm stuck with you for the foreseeable future? Even when I'm old and cantankerous and lose my winning good looks and charming personality? Boy, do I have you wrapped around my little finger."
