Lavender: [runs into the hospital wing, after Ron’s been poisoned] Where is he? Where’s my Won-Won? Has he been asking for me? [sees Hermione sitting next to Ron’s bed] What is she doing here?
Hermione: [stands] I might ask you the same question!
Lavender: I happen to be his girlfriend!
Hermione: Well, I happen to be his… friend.
Lavender: Friend? Don’t make me laugh! You haven’t spoken in weeks. I guess you want to make up with him now that’s he’s suddenly all interesting!
Hermione: He’s been poisoned, you daft dimbo! And for the record, I’ve always found him interesting.
Lavender: Ah! See? He senses my presence. [leans down] Don’t worry, Won-Won! I’m here. I’m here.
Ron: [croaks] Her… my… nee. Hermione… [Hermione takes Ron’s hand. Lavender runs out, sobbing. Awkward silence.]
Dumbledore: Oh, to be young and to feel love’s keen sting.
