Ok, I finally typed some of this up. This is something I wrote during the school (in Chemistry, second period) while I was trying desperately to get rid of my Harry-Potteritis. All the characters belong to JK Rowling because there is NO possible way I would have the creativity to create characters like those. People, please keep in mind that I wrote this before book 4 came out…. I had NO idea how terrible Lucius Malfoy was. I just thought that he was really mean, not super-Voldemort-like evil. After reading book 4 I almost didn't want to post this; the only reason I did was because I took the time to type it up.

A Weasley Beginning
"Arthur get your broom!" Let's go!" Lucius Malfoy was yelling at his best friend Arthur Weasley to come. He was starting to get impatient when all of a sudden Arthur comes out brandishing his brand new racing broom. It was a top of the line Silver Arrow. Arthur's new broom was so impressive that even fussy Lucius was impressed.
"So, wadya think?" asked Arthur aprehensivly.
"That broom is sooooooo sweet!!!! Man, when'd you get it?!?!?"
"My dad got it for me when he went into town. Come on, I want to try it out. I'll race you to my house...Last one in the 2nd gardens is a rotten egg!!!"
Arthur got on his broom and sped off with Lucius closely behind him. Within minutes, they had reached the Weasly Manor.
"HA! I win!" bragged Arthur.
"Only 'cause your brooms newer," retorted Lucius as they both walked toward the Weasley Manor commenting on Arthur's Silver Arrow. Once there they went to the kitchen for a drink and found Mrs. Weasley sorting mail.
"Arthur," Arthur's Mom interrupted, "you letter from Hogwarts just arrived. It seems that you two have a new headmaster. Does Albus Dumbledore ring a bell?"
"Really? You mean they got rid of Dippet? Man, a kid could get away with anything with him as headmaster," blurted Lucius.
"Meaning what?" Mrs. Weasley asked curiously.
"Meaning nothing, Mom. Nothing at all," said Arthur the back of his neck turning red. No one noticed, though, because in through the open window flew in a Barn owl. Lucius deftly caught the letter it was carrying and smiled. He had read whom it was from and ran outside with Arthur on his trail leaving behind a very confused Mrs. Weasley.
"Lookie here, Arthur's girlfriend wrote him a love letter," Lucius taunted, "I wonder what it says..."
"Shut up! Give that back or I'll..."
"You'll what?"
"I'll beat you unrecognizable, that's what," Arthur yelled as he tackled an unsuspecting Lucius.
"Fine, take your *love* letter," Lucius said gasping for breath.
"Shut up," retorted Arthur as he started to read the letter.
My Dearest Arthur,
I miss you so much. Being away from you for so long is tearing me apart. It's bad enough you're in Gryffindor and I'm in Slytherin. I have been thinking about our relationship lately and, well you know and I know we've been going steady for about a year so I've decided to tell you that... I love you.
Don't feel rushed or pressured or anything. I just needed you to know how I feel about you.
Love,
Stephanie
"So, what did she say?" asked Lucius to a very pale Arthur.
"Umm...nothing much just that, er, she loves me"
"Whoa there, lover-boy that's some news! Do you love her?"
"No…. I don't know-- "
"Man, you better figure it out quick or she'll get the wrong idea"
Do I love her, Arthur asked himself. He certainly *liked* her a lot but he wasn't sure he loved her. Maybe I do love her, he thought. I don't want our relation ship to end. After all, she comes from a respectable pureblood family and my dad and her dad are old school buddies. The pros outweighed the cons. Then again, maybe I need more time to think it over...
He wrote back to her saying that he cared about her but wasn't sure if he loved her or not and needed more time to think.
"Hey lover-boy, ready to go?" Lucius yelled from the kitchen door.
"Yeah coming," responded Arthur waking up from his reverie.
"I've got a move you won't believe," Lucius said as he got on his broom. He rose very quickly and then went into a very steep dive. As he rapidly approached the ground he pulled up inches away from the hard ground.
"What are you doing?!?!?!" Arthur exclaimed
"A Seekers gotta do what a seekers gotta do…" Lucius retorted slyly. "Come on, throw a ball for me to catch"
Arthur threw a big marble into the air and Lucius went after. He was in a rapidly descending dive.
"Oh crap!" Arthur yelled as Lucius hit the ground with a terrible crunch. "Lucius? Are you ok? Oh my God, somebody, please help….HELP!"
