alt_lavenderLAVENDER BROWN does indeed pursue the re-opening of the Three Broomsticks, and it's the hardest thing she's ever done purely because she wanted to. She comes within a hairsbreadth of giving up several times, but by the first Hogsmeade weekend, she's selling Butterbeer out of a rented tent on the village green.
She rents a cheap room from an elderly witch in Hogsmeade, avoids Linus--and things get really awkward when she notices how fit Ernie MacMillan's become... Her father talks her mother around, but relations aren't warm, especially after she poses semi-nude in Warlock's Quarterly to raise money for her business ventures. She buys herself a really lovely cane as soon as she can afford it again.
She's still clueless and awful a decent amount of the time and adores tavern gossip perhaps more than she should, but she makes an effort. It helps that under the many layers of her upbringing, she finds someone altogether more earthy, bawdy, and direct. She and Pansy continue to not be able to stand each other, but after many years in business their mutual disdain is almost cheerful. She and Padma rebuild their friendship, especially after Padma takes the Potions Professorship.
When Linus publishes his poems about her in his first book, she's initially furious. She Floos him to rant some more and ends up pushing him against a wall and kissing happens. They get back together, and in later years Lavender is known for her scandalous house parties.
She reads the Tarot daily, but almost never speaks of it.
