Lavender Brown
Born: c. 1980
Hogwarts first year: 1991 (PS7)
House: Gryffindor

The best friend of Parvati Patil, Lavender tends to squeal and giggle a lot, and generally gives the impression of being silly; she's keen on Divination, for instance, having been convinced of Trelawney's powers after a vague prediction on the first day of class turned out (from one point of view) to have predicted the death of her pet rabbit, Binky (PA8).

In their fifth year, Lavender initially believed the Daily Prophet's insinuations about Harry, but Hermione shut her up (OP12).

Lavender attended the Yule Ball with Seamus Finnigan (GF22, OP11). Later during her sixth year, she managed to attract Ron and they had a hot and heavy relationship.

Lavender's saving grace is that she had the courage to be chosen for Gryffindor; during Hagrid's disastrous experiment to determine whether Blast-Ended Skrewts hibernated (they do not), Lavender, far from fleeing with the Slytherins, stayed to help and got burned (GF22). Unlike Seamus, Lavender joined Dumbledore's Army when it first formed (OP16).
