Author's Note: This is my first story. I don't mind flames as long as you tell me what I can improve.
Loving that Detention
Ginny's P.O.V.
I took a big breath. When talking to Harry I usually have to prep myself. You see, when I was a naive First Year, I made my crush on Harry Potter known to the world. All I ever heard though, was 'Why would the great, famous Harry Potter ever go for someone like you?' and other nasty comments like that. So now I keep my crush on him very hush-hush. Only my best friend, Martina, knows, and I trust her to keep her mouth shut.
So, anyway, unless I want to make a complete fool of myself (which I don't) I usually take a few deep breaths and steady myself before talking to him. It's strange really, that I act this way. I am definately not one of those timid little girls, oh no, half of the guys in my year are afraid of me (it's that nasty Weasley temper). Sorry I'm rambling. I took one more deep, then walked over to Harry.
"Harry, can I ask you something?" I asked in a high squeaky voice.
"I believe you just did," Harry replied - Great Merlins, he is adorable! Okay calm yourself, Ginny.
I smiled and continued. "Well, Harry, you see I had a little argument, well okay, a big argument with Malfoy." I said his name with disgust, I can't help it though. It's just this pure hatred thing I've got going for him. "Well, he started calling me names, then I started calling him names, and I guess he couldn't think of anymorecombacks, cause he muttered something lame like 'Ugly Dog' under his breath, then stormed off before I could get the last word in. So that's where you come in, Harry." I smiled at him. "All you have to do is put this little clay doggy on Malfoy's chair, and for the rest of the day, he'll bark like a dog."
"Well, I'd love to help you get back at Malfoy, Ginny," he said, smiling at me.
"Oh, you're the best, Harry!" I went to hug him, but at the last minute I restrained myself and tried to cover by pretending to stretch. God, I'm a loser!
Harry's P.O.V.
I climbed through the portrait hole and into the Gryffindor common room. I saw Ginny sitting there talking with her friends. Wow, she really is beautiful. I love the way her fiery hair shimmered in the fire light. I think, though, what makes Ginny the prettiest girl in the room, hell, the whole school is her personality. She has got to be the funniest, smartest, wisest and most mischievious girl I know. Also, the sweetest. Ginny looked up, and saw me staring at her.Damn, she probably thinks I'm some freak now. She smiled and ran up to me.
"So, Harry," she said, her eyes twinkling and that adorable grin spread across her face. "Did you do it?"
"Well, I did do it, but Snape reversed the spell, in two seconds."
Ginny's face fell, "Oh, so he's speaking normally now?"
"'Fraid so."
"Oh, well," she grinned, "Snape didn't catch you, did he?"
"Yeah, Crabbe said he saw put something on Malfoy's chair, so Snape gave me detention for a month." I felt my face growing red as she put her hand on my shoulder.
"Oh, Harry!" she cried, "A whole month? Oh, it's all my fault! Let's go down there right now to clear this up. Imagine! Me getting you in trouble for some silly little prnk. You must be so mad at me right now......." and she went on and on like that all the way to the dungeons. Not that I minded. No, it felt very nice to have someone to fuss over me. Especially if that someone is Ginny. It showed that although she might not have as strong as feelings for me as I'd like, she still does care.
Snape's P.O.V.
The red head walked in with four-eyes. Ugh. What did Potter want now? I used to hate him purely for the fact that I detested his father, but now I hate him for so much more.
First of all, he looks and acts so much like James that you wouldn't even know he was related to Lily. But then, he looks at you with those green eyes, that are so muck like Lily's. They're filled with love and caring for his friends, just like Lily's, too. It makes me sick. So, not only does he have to look like James, he has to go gallavanting around with the Weasley girl, Ginny, whose traits are so much like Lily's. So the torture I had to go through at school, seeing the girl I almost loved running around with a jerk, it constantly haunts me now.
"Professor Snape," Ginny starts, timidly. You know, I'd like her if she wasn't so much like Lily. "That spell Harry put on Malfoy, I'm the one who thought of it and made it, not Harry. He merely cast the spell for me. I should be the one who's punished, not Harry."
Oh, how sweet, the girl is standing up for the all-mighty Harry Potter. Well, we'll see about that.
"As you both did your parts in the spell, you shall both be punished. Two months detention, and fifty points off Gryffindor!" I said, in a voice full of hatred. I watch the two sulk off. Pathetic, really. Hmm, I realize, they'll be spending two months together after school, five days a week, alone. It's not even going to be a punishment for them! Aw, well, what can you do? I must be getting soft in my old age.
Authors Note: Well, that's the first installment of the series. How do you like it? Remember, if you're going to flame, constructive critiscm only!
