You could've jumped up and down on my bed, and I wouldn't get annoyed. I was too sad for that.
I was technically doing nothing by my parents' standards. Staring up at my ceiling; hugging that damnable thing. Blackness surrounded me; the only glow that came in was from under the door, the telly, and my laptop computer.
I sighed miserably; I threw the ball of fluff at my ceiling, enjoying its soft thud, thud, against the popcorn ceiling.
Ouch!
Damnit, plaster got into my eye. I rubbed and rubbed until I thought my eye went raw. Hurt like Merlin it did. I glared with one eye at the fluffy piece of--
Brrriing! Brrriing!
Damn phone, who calls at 2:30 in the afternoon. Well, any normal person I guess...
"Yes?" I said into the mouth piece. "Who is this?"
"Hermione? It's me!"A familiar voice shouted from the other end.
"Me who?" I grumbled, playing with the fluff ball's legs. I pressed its chest, and felt ten beats of thump, thump.
"Ginny!" The voice muttered.
"Oh! Gin! How'd you get a phone?" I demanded, who cares how she got a phone! How in the bloody hell did she get my number!? I groaned and fell back on my bed, hugging the fluff.
"Were you talking to someone else, 'Mione?" My best friend asked, I summoned up something that sounded like no.
It's staring at me... Argh! Stop it! You're not as cute-- Okay, maybe you are, but it doesn't mean that you can't just sit there and-- Oh, no you don't! Puppy dog eyes don't work on me!
"It's staring at me, Ginny." I muttered suddenly, in the middle of Ginny's question.
"Um, sorry to be rude, Hermione... But exactly, *what* is staring at you?" My best friend asked.
"It." I murmured seething.
"Oh, from him?"
"No, from the Easter bunny."
"Ha-ha. I'm serious, it?"
"Of course, but it's just been staring at me!" I replied indignantly. I stomped my foot like a bratty four year old.
I wasn't exactly fond of the fluff, but I loved it at the same time. I had been hugging and loving it, but at the same time; I hated every second of it.
We have a bittersweet relationship. Weird, I know.
I still love it, but I hate it at the same time.
"Ginny? Do you think anyone will like me as a girl, and not as a friend?" I asked, suddenly again. I picked up the ball of pure and sweet fluff. Its white fur stood out in the blackness, I caressed my fingers over his back and onto his tail. I pressed his chest, feeling and listening for the familiar thump, thump. I sighed, kissing its nose and hugging it.
"I miss him." I murmured into the fur, I restrained my tears and sighed.
"Of course, have you looked in the mirror?"
"I'm not that pretty." I retorted.
"Yuh-uh."
"No."
"You're prettier than Parkinson." Okay, that cheered me up just a bit. But only just a bit.
I glanced down, I still loved it. But you know, he said we might get back together. I could still love this fluff head.
I picked up the dog and hugged it softly, kissing his forehead.
"I love you Sir Valentine." Yes, I think I had lost my mind.
I said I love you to a stuffed dog from Build-A-Bear. Red, pink, and white in fact. The red and pink were in heart patterns on his fur.
I loved him a lot. I still love Draco too.
