Why Gryffindor?

A really short collection of drabbles of why Ginny is in Gryffindor. Thank you to all the judges in the HPFC forum-wide competition.

"But you're a girl, Weasley." Draco taunted.

"And why does that matter?" My tone was challenging.

"Nothing, nothing." Malfoy sneered.

"Oh shut up, Malfoy." I left him alone in the middle of the Quidditch field.

"Who made this mess?" Professor Snape called out to no response.

"Loony did it!" a Slytherin girl shouted.

"Did you, Ms. Lovegood?" Severus was stern.

"Probably." Luna's eyes were honest and staring right at the Professor in the eye.

"Detention with me to-"

"I-It was me, sir." I spoke up. "I didn't meant to, but-"

"Well, detention for you and Ms. Lovegood next Wednesday for telling lies." Professor Snape said. I nodded, disappointed that Luna still get the detention.

"Hey, thank you for wanting to accompany me for detention next Wednesday." Luna smiled.

"What? Oh, no problem." I hesitated, but smiled anyway.

"Harry, if you're going to fight the battle, then I'm going to have to fight it too." I tried to sound as convincing as Dumbledore.

"I'm not against you on that. Don't get me wrong though, I worry about you, every single day, and I don't want you to get hurt. But I also know that you're a true Gryffindor at heart, you will courageously fight for what is right, and I cannot stop you from doing so. But you're mum-"

"I'm 16 now. I do trust mum, but this is different." My posture was made as stern as possible.

"Ginny, this is why I love you." Harry smiled and pecked me on the lips. "Now let's kill some Death Eaters, shall we?"

"Well well, do we here not have another Weasley?" the Sorting Hat whispered to my ear. "But, you're the odd one out aren't you? The only girl so far."

I crossed my fingers and concentrate harder.

"Smart, charming, and brave, very brave."

"GRYFFINDOR!"

and still…. GO GRYFFINDOR! :P
