Title: Not A Player
Rating: PG
Summary: I've finally realized why you never wanted me. Its not that I'm not pretty enough. Its not that I'm Ron's little sister. Its because you need a fan not a player.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. If I did Sirius would be alive and I'd be Mrs. Ron Weasley.
Not A Player
I spent most of my time at Hogwarts watching you. Wondering why you never wanted me. I saw how your forehead would wrinkle every time you had to write a potions essay. I saw how when you smiled you emerald eyes would sparkle. I saw the look of pure happiness whenever you went flying. I saw you.
Most people believed I only liked the legend of you not you. Most people were wrong. I liked how whenever someone else had a problem you would drop everything just to help. I liked how no matter what the cost you always did what you believed was right. I liked you.
But slowly I began to see that there was no way that I could ever be good enough to date you. The great hero, the Boy-Who-Lived. You only had eyes for Cho Chang, the Ravenclaw Seeker. So I tried out for the team. I made Chaser. I truly thought that it would make you see me. But how wrong I was. You didn't want someone to be your equal. You didn't want a player. You wanted a girl that would sit in the stands and cheer you on. A girl that would hang on you every word. I could never be that girl.
Then in my sixth year I met him. True I had known him since before my first year at Hogwarts, well I had known who everyone thought he was. But one night I met the boy behind the mask, behind the façade, behind what his father forced him to be. I met Draco. And I found a boy who saw me as something other than just another Weasley. Or as Ron's baby sister. Or even worse as the girl was stupid enough to trust a diary.
And now I have a man who doesn't want just another fan. To him there are millions of those. I have a man that wants a player. A man that wants me. But even as I lie here in his arms I cant help but be disappointed. Because no matter how wonderful he is, no matter how much he loves me. I know in my heart that he's not you. And I know that you don't want me.
You could never want a player.
