Summary: Feeling the need to buy her something
Status: Closed/InComplete

He had this need, or more like a desire, to buy Ana something. Their wedding was about a week away. He knew it was traditional to get a gift for his new wife, but it was more than that. His whole life he had been short of funds, to buy nice gifts for his friends. Now he had the resources, and this need to show her or make some demonstration of his growing affection for her seemed appropriate. But he had gotten her an engagement ring already; that had been so easy. The ring had been elegant and smooth and not overly astentacious. It had said to him, a simple friendship, and had seemed perfect. Now, he wanted to make another gesture.

The problem was he was stuck. He didn't know what to get her exactly, and he wandered down the Alley to look into different shops, searching and thinking and getting more frustrated. He had paused in front of the Quidditch supplies store, taking a small break before he began again. He thought that maybe he was going to have to go look in Muggles stores for something really unusual and unique. He realized he could use some advice, but Hermione was the last person he was going ask. He needed a woman's perspective and at first thought he'd try to find Ginny.

Lavender was feeling very cross because she was quite frankly tired of being reassigned. She decided that the best way to get out of the slump was to go shopping because that always made her happy. She brightened up at the idea of it even and so she quickly got ready and apparated to Diagon Alley

It was a half hour later and already she had her arms ladened with packages of all shapes and sizes and was feeling quite content because of it. She sighed happily and wondered what she wanted to do next. She decided she would just walk for a bit until she finds something that catches her eye. It only took a few minutes when she saw the bright ginger hair that was so familiar to her. She hadn't seen Ron in awhile, not since the two left Hogwarts after the battle where she only saw him briefly. He looked flustered though like he didn't know what to do. It was then she decided to help him with what ever he may need. She walked up to him with a bright smile. "Hello Ron it's been too long." She exclaimed as she gave him a brief hug. "You seemed troubled what is it?"

Ron heard a voice and turned to catch sight of the gorgeous blond coming towards him, "Lavender! Hey to you," and he returned her hug, and blushed a bit, embarrassed to be so happy to see her. He dropped him arms, and glanced at the Quidditch window, knowing he should be looking elsewhere.

"Oh, it's nothing, really. I've just," and he paused, "Well look, let's find out how you are before I let you jump in and rescue me. You were always so good at that," and he flashed her a big grin, "I have to find something. And I'm not sure what to try to find."

"So you tell me first how you are," he said, not wanting to just immediately tell her his struggle.

She nodded brightly sensing that she gets to do some shopping.

However when she thought about how she was feeling her face immediately grew sour. "They told me I will be reassigned again. Mind you this will be the fourth new person." They are abusing there power now and I don't like it at all."

She looked thoughtful for a second. "I always thought you would be with Hermione it's weird to me that you won't be." she said quietly.

Ron whistled low and turned to look at her, "Lavender! Four different arrangements and they've all fallen through? That's just," and he seemed flummoxed for a moment, "It's just supremely unfair! How are you coping with it? I don't know much what I would do it that were me."

He paused, not wanting to talk about Hermione with Lavender, of all people, "I ....I'm set to marry Anastasia Summers. I want to find her something nice, to buy for her. You feel like shopping with me?"

She shook her head. "To be fair it was three people that fell through. Perhaps four times is the charm eh." She said with a rather grim laugh. She was still feeling sour about it and hated talking about it but then again it was rather nice to vent. "How am I coping? Good question I guess I just do some how. It did help that the last two I didn't even actually talk to." She shrugged not wanting to go on.

Lavender was not stupid she realized he was avoiding any talk of Hermione and she would let it slide for the time being. She knew that he did have feelings for her though anyone spending ten minutes with the two knew that. She nodded happily when he asked her to help shop. She gestured to the bags in her arms. "i am the expert." she said with a laugh. "What is it your thinking about?"
