"Bastard," Parvati thought to herself upon hearing that Ginny and Harry were now an item, "That fucking jerk. I'm not some dumb tart that he can just drop whenever it strikes his fancy. Apart from a few more years at Hogwarts and the worst wardrobe known to man, what does that dumb whelk have that I don't? Honestly..."
She didn't want to cry over him, but she knew it was inevitable, so she made a beeline to her dorm and shut herself in the bathroom. Arithmancy? Oh please, that class could wait. Parvati was in the middle of a crisis, here.

While Harry and Parvati technically didn't date each other, they might as well have for the past few months. Harry had taken a sudden interest in Parvati, and while she thought it was annoying at first, she continued to hang out with him, and eventually ended up taking a liking to him. The two of them were together a lot of the time, and ended up making out on more than one occasion. Although making out isn't usually a big deal, it was obvious that there were feelings between the two. This so-called "relationship" didn't develop as much because Parvati got the impression that Harry was shy about this sort of thing, and she didn't want to pressure him into fooling around if he wasn't up for it. Harry randomly started acting cold to Parvati. She didn't exactly understand why, but she dismissed it as stress, seeing as how it takes a lot of sand to be the "golden boy" of Hogwarts. She noticed that he was spending a lot of time with the younger Weasley as well, but didn't think anything of it either.

It's a shame she had to hear about the current situation from Seamus rather than Harry himself. Seamus and Parvati had become pretty good friends ever since Lavender became asphyxiated with Ron, and while sitting in the common room, she mentioned the change in Harry's behaviour. Seamus reacted in a way that made it obvious he knew something Parvati didn't, which irked her.

"Seamus, what is going on, exactly?" she asked.

"Ah, it's-it's nothing...I think you should just talk to him and see what he says, y'know?"

"Look, you know you can tell me. Besides, I sort of need to know what's going on. He's been so confusing lately."

After some hesitation, Seamus replied, "I think...I think maybe he likes someone else..."

Parvati was somewhat shocked. Surely this was something that he was just saying, right? "Did he tell you that?"

"Sort of. I...I don't really know."

"Who is it?"

"Ginny Weasley...I-I'm really sorry Parvati."

"It's alright," she said as she looked at the floor, eyes welling up with tears, "It's not your fault."

"Are you okay?" he asked as he went to sit by her on the couch.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine," Parvati replied as she suddenly got up from the couch, "I just remembered that I have to finish this essay for Potions, so I'll see you later then." She walked up to her dormitory and tried to gain composure.

"Relax, Parvati," she thought to herself, "Maybe it's something that Seamus is just saying." She managed to stop crying and went to her mirror fix her makeup. She had about 20 minutes before Arithmancy, so she decided to go to the Great Hall and find Lavender. Maybe she knew more about this than Seamus.

As she entered the Great Hall, she spotted Lavender, who was all over Ron.
She was giggling like a madwoman and calling him "Won-Won" every now and then. Well, go figure.
Hermione Granger was sitting about a bench down from them, looking pissed off, but was trying to look involved with her book.
"She must be bitter about Lavender and Ron," Parvati thought, "I sort of figured that she had a thing for him. Besides, she hasn't really spoken to Lavender since they started dating."

Parvati went and took a seat across from Ron and Lavender. "Hey Lav," she said to her.

"Oh, hi Parvati! What's up? You look upset," Lavender replied.

"I suppose you could say that. It's this whole Harry thing. I just heard something from Seamus that bothered me. Quite ridiculous,
actually."

"That he and Ginny are dating?" Ron said, "Yeah, it's pretty weird."

"Wait, what?" Parvati said, "Th-They're dating? What the fuck, since when?"

"Oh god, I'm sorry Parvati," Ron replied, just realizing what he said, "I know you and Harry had a thing...I think it's pretty messed up, what he did to you I mean. Even though Harry is my friend, and Ginny is my sister, he shouldn't have done that."

"No, it's alright," Parvati said, trying not to look so bothered, "It's...It's better that I know this anyway, instead of dwelling on it, yeah?"

"Look Parvati, you deserve so much better than him. I mean, you shouldn't have to put up with being treated that way," Lavender said, looking sympathetic, "He should have at least had the decency to tell you that he was pursuing something with Ginny. I think you should talk with him though, you know, to resolve things. Anyway, it might not even be true."

"Lav, I'm sure it's true. Harry is Ron's best friend, and he's Ginny's brother, so obviously he knows about it."

"I'm sorry Parvati. I don't really know what to tell you. Talk with him maybe? Lavender's right, maybe you can resolve something," Ron said.

"Gods, what is it with Ron and Seamus both apologizing like mad?" Parvati thought, "I bet Ron didn't even apologize this much to his parents when he wrecked their flying car in second year."

"It's alright, Ron," she replied, "You don't need to apologize. It's not your fault. Maybe I will talk with him, just...just not now."

"Yeah. You're upset right now and you might end up going off on him or something," Lavender said.

"I'm not upset...really I'm not," Parvati said, trying to convince herself of this, "Look, I have Arithmancy pretty soon. I should get my books. I'll see you guys later."

Parvati walked rather quickly out of the Great Hall and locked herself in a bathroom stall. She cried, but was careful not to make too much noise, for she could hear people walking in and out. "Fuck. I should have just gone to the dormitory and done this," she thought to herself. She managed to stop crying for the moment, so that she could make her way up to the dormitory and cry even more.

It figured that Ginny and two of her friends would enter the bathroom, just as Parvati was trying to make her way out.
It figured that she would spot Parvati, who had just been crying in a bathroom stall.
It figured that Ginny would proceed to talk about how Harry was "the greatest," and "such a wonderful boyfriend" to her friends,
right in front of Parvati.
It really fucking figured.
