Just Friends... Nothing More
By: Jey4eva

Chapter 2: Just Friends


Molly's POV:
I yawned loudly as I went down to the Gryffindor common room. It was REALLY early, but I needed to make up last night's missed studying. It was dark in the common room. All the candles were out.

I sighed and got out my wand and began to light the candles one by one. It was still dark in one corner of the room. I walked over there to light the remaining candles.

As I came to the corner, I gave a little shriek. In front of me was what looked like a dead body. It was sitting up, staring straight at me with a lifeless look in its eyes. Its hair was disheveled and skin pale.

My wand fell to the floor as I recognized it as Arthur. My hands flew to my mouth in horror.

He was in an armchair, head hanging limply to one side.

"Molly," he croaked suddenly.

I gave a little squeak. I couldn't move.

"Molly, " he said again.

"A-A-Arthur?" I stammered shakily.

He sighed, "Yeah, its me."

I toook pity on him. He looked so pathetic! But, then again, he had nearly scared me to death. I was suddenly filled with anger. I took a steps towards him and whacked his head hard.

"Ow!" He cried grabbing his head in pain. "What was that for?!"

"Do you realize how worried I was when I saw you there looking lifeless like that?" I whispered trying to regain my sanity.



Arhtur's POV:
"Well sorree," I muttered, rubbing my head. Molly was short, but she had a good arm. I took note of what she said. "So, you were worried about me, eh?" I asked teasingly. "Molly Dolls, I didn't know you cared..."

I received another whack on the head.

"Augh!" I cried as I grabbed my head in agony. "That hurts, you know?"

"I know," she replied. She retrieved her wand from the floor and raised it.

I cowered, "Don't hurt me," I whimpered.

Molly rolled her eyes, "Not on you, Weasley." She walked to the candles behind me and lit them.

"Oh," I muttered.

Molly, satisfied with the brightness of the room went to a table where a stack of books were. She immediately sat down and opened a text book. She began studying.

After a few minutes of silence, I spoke up, "Aren't you going to ask me what I was doing here?"

"Playing the usual pranks?" She murmered, not looking up from her book.

"No," I said hotly.

"Well, what then?" She asked, flipping a page.

"I came down here at three in the morning to scrutinize my life," I replied.

"What the hell?" She asked, her snapped up. "Why in the world did you do that?"

"Because- because Tori- she- she," I stuttered as my shoulders began shaking.



Molly's POV:
I rolled my eyes and dropped my head going back to studying. This was NOT going to be interesting at all...

"What'd she do?" I muttered.

"She- she dumped me!" He blurted out.

My head snapped up, "Rea-lly..." I said slowly.

He nodded, "And you won't believe her reason."

I raised an eyebrow, "Try me."

"She dumped me because she thinks that- That you and I..." He faltered.

I frowned. What could Victoria be thinking about Arthur and I? "What?" I asked.

"She thinks that you and I... Have, ah- Well, a 'thing' for eachother..." He trailed off.

I was silent as his words registered in my brain. Then, I burst out laughing.

"What?" He asked. "What's so funny?"

I was too busy laughing to answer.



Arthur's POV:
"I didn't think it was very funny," I muttered.

But, still Molly laughed. She finally caught her breath. "Is she insane?!" Molly asked, stifling her giggles. "REALLY! You and I!" She snorted. "Unbelievable."

"So, you don't think that- That she's right?" I asked slowly.

"Of course not!" Molly exclaimed. "Don't tell me that you're actually giving it a second thought!"

"Well, I dunno..." I trailed off.

"I guess you could say that we're friends..." Molly said slowly, trailing off.

I nodded, "I suppose."

She nodded in agreement to herself, "Well, then we're just friends... nothing more... Right?" She asked.

I didn't answer.

"Arthur? Right?" She repeated.

"Yes," I said weakly. "Right."

She nodded and went back to her Transfiguration book.

*Just friends... nothing more... right stupid ass?*

Oh, shut up, I thought sourly.


A/N: Hehe! I just HAD to add that last part. Well, please review! Yes, I know its short... I'll try to make the next chapter longer!
