Chapter One: Erotomaniacs and a Lack of Bumpage
Ginny sat in the library, quietly reading over her Potions essay and making sure it was good enough for Snape. She was horrible at writing essays and Professor Snape knew it. If only she could have a tutor...
"Hello Ginny," Luna said dreamily as she sat down across from her. Luna's blonde hair was in a terrible state as Luna had recently claimed that combs were useless and were a complete waste of whatever material they were made of. Ginny would agree, but Luna could afford to have horrible hair. She was Luna "Loony" Lovegood. With her, it was expected.
Ginny grimaced back, "Er, hello Luna." She ducked back behind her essay and pretended to be busy. Luna had been following her around as of late and kept asking about her brother Ron. She obviously had it bad for him and didn't know that he was currently "taken" by Hermione Granger.
"Have you seen Ronald?" Luna's eyes glossed over and she smiled to herself, "He said he would meet me here."
Either she was an erotomaniac or Ron had lied to her. If it had been the latter, Ginny was going to kill Ron. She put down her Potions essay and began to blow on it so it would dry. In between blowing and panting, she answered Luna, "No, I haven't. Maybe he got distracted?"
Luna kept smiling and stood up, "Well, I suppose I will go find him then." She waved goodbye and turned towards the library doors, making a rather dramatic exit. Ginny rolled her eyes and packed up her things to find her brother of whom had a very good chance of being dead by the end of the day.
Ginny made her way out of the library and down the corridor, looking out for Ron the entire time. She paused to take a left turn and head up some stairs before turning the corner...
"Oh!" she exclaimed, not having expected to see anybody coming from the opposite direction. It was Draco Malfoy and he looked as snarky as ever. She was surprised they hadn't bumped into each other passionately and ended up in a rather intimate position that she would have liked to stay in forever if she could...
Ginny snapped back to reality. She was currently in an awkward place, she wanted to get by but Malfoy was right in front of her. As she tried to move left so she could get around him, he moved right. She sighed and began to move right as he moved left.
"Do you mind standing still?" Malfoy asked coldy and shoved her to the left so he could head down the very stairs she had been climbing earlier. "Bitch," she thought she heard him say.
Ginny glared at his retreating form and yelled, "Bastard!" down the stair well before looking for her brother for another reason entirely.
"I can't believe he did that! I mean, pushing you to the side was understandably Malfoy..." Hermione reasoned, her hair bushier than normal because she was completely against the third Harry Potter movie where Emma Watson portrayed her hair horribly. What happened to the bushiness? The bushiness was essence of Hermione, and without it... there just wasn't a Hermione. All you had... was a washed up Emma Watson. Hermione's eye twitched at the thought of it.
"But nobody calls Ginny a bitch!" Ron cried out. Some of the first years in the Common Room turned to stare wide eyed at him and began to giggle at the fact that a Prefect had said a naughty word.
Hermione's jaw opened wide, "Ron!"
He shrugged, "What?"
Ginny watched the current argument over what she had just told them. Of course she had left out the part of her calling Draco Malfoy a 'Bastard', but she was going with a gut feeling that he hopefully hadn't heard her.
Harry was sitting next to Ginny on the couch, a book open on his lap, his hands covering his ears so he could hear himself think. Ginny felt a bit guilty that she had interrupted their study time. When she remembered why she had been looking for Ron in the first place.
"Oh, Ron?" she asked.
"I'm sorry Hermione! I..." Ron paused, "What is it Ginny? We're talking..."
Ginny stood up and crossed her arms, glaring at him, "Did you or did you not tell Luna that you would meet her in the library today?" Ron's eyes went wide as saucers.
"Why were you meeting Luna?" Hermione asked, a hint of jealousy in her voice. She knew Luna had a huge crush on Ron. But if he was in turn, leading Luna on, then there would be consequences!
"Oops?" Ron looked guilty.
"Oops to what? Asking Luna to meet you, or oops to forgetting to meet her?" Ginny asked.
Ron backed up a bit and almost tripped over as Hermione and Ginny stared him down. Much like American tourists were told to do to Italian drivers when they were crossing the street.
"I did not ask Luna to meet me, okay?" Ron held up his hands in surrender. Hermoine immediately felt proud of Ron and instead dropped her arms to her hips.
"Then why did you say 'oops'?"
Ron pursed his lips and sighed, "I did tell her I was going to be studying in the library later today but never went. I don't know why she thought I said I'd meet her..."
Ginny gasped, "Then she's an erotomaniac?"
"What?" Hermione asked.
Ginny shook her head, "No, it must have been a misunderstanding..."
Ron stared, confused, "Maniac? What are you talking about Gin?"
"Luna is just like that girl on that French/Muggle movie He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not!" Ginny grabbed the front of Ron's robes and shook him back and forth, on the verge of tears, "You have to save her Ron! Save her!"
Ron pushed her off of him, "If anyone's the maniac around here, it's you Ginny."
Ginny pouted and glared at both Hermione and Ron, "Fine, don't believe me! But when Luna hits you over the head with a paper weight because you tell her it's over between you two when there was nothing there to begin with... Don't. Blame. Me." Ginny turned around and stalked towards the Portrait Hole. But before she could open it, she turned around to say, "Oh, and beat up Malfoy for me if you have the time. Thank you very much." THEN she turned and stalked out.
Ron turned to Hermione, "Do you know what she's on about?"
Hermione began to lecture him on being an understanding brother and what it entails...
But Ron had turned to sit next to Harry and copy him in studying instead.
