Lavender also wished the same thing, to go back and be who she was, to not feel like that girl was long since gone, but she knew it wouldn't happen. So, she didn't often wish for that up until recently she had found herself longing for this to be more like seventh year. In some ways it had been better then, now it was all just spiraling out of control. She was spiraling out of control.
She had said that kissing didn't fix anything before and it certainly wasn't going to fix anything now, but it was still easier than talking. And at least if her lips were busy with his she couldn't be talking and that was probably a good thing, to not be saying things anymore.
So, she pressed herself further against him, pulling the kiss deeper. Maybe they had been here before and maybe they would be here again, but right now she had this and she just wanted to get lost and let all of those burdens be pushed back just for a little while. Sure, it might force other things to surface, but maybe those would better, easier even, to deal with.
