What's Love?
A/N: I'm updating pretty fast aren't I? I owe my thanks o Excillian for giving me advice on how to write a fic without losing interest! I also recommend their fic called "Playing with Fire." Oh, and just to let you know: '…' means their thoughts.
Chapter 4
"Love is a very important part of life!" Ginny argued. "Actually, the most important part of life."
"Then how come I've never heard about it?" he asked sarcastically.
Ginny ignored that comment.
"A life without love is no life at all!" She said.
"Oh really?" He said and began patting himself to see if he was alive. "I seem to be perfectly fine."
The carriage stopped with a sudden jerk and Malfoy opened the door.
"Malfoy, wait!"
He stepped out of the carriage.
"So long, Weasley."
~~~
"So long, Weasley."
Ginny quickly exited the carriage to stop him but he was already gone. She tried looking over the heads of the students to find him but the crowd kept pushing her around so she couldn't concentrate.
"Ginny! Hey Ginny!" came a familiar voice.
Ginny looked around the crowds and spotted Hermione.
"Hermione!" She quickly ran over to her friend. "I have so much to tell you!"
"You can tell me during dinner," Hermione said hurriedly. "Come on!"
~~~
Hermione's jaw dropped.
"Are you serious?" she said, gaping. "And you actually tried to get him to meet with you somewhere?"
"So what?" Ginny said defensively. "My mum's always said everyone deserves to be loved, and that means they have to know it too!"
"But Ginny," Hermione sighed. "Malfoy won't come around easily! Why do you want to do this anyway?"
Ginny opened her mouth but nothing came out.
'Why am I doing this anyway?' She wondered. 'To make Mum proud, but she wouldn't want me to go anywhere near Malfoy... So he'll stop insulting my family? No...he'd keep doing it anyway. Then, why?'
"Hello?" Hermione waved her hand in front of Ginny's face. "Ginny? Are you all right?"
Ginny snapped out of her thoughts and faced Hermione.
"Hm...?"
"I asked you why you're doing this."
Ginny shrugged.
"Oh, I dunno..."
They stopped talking when they noticed Ron and Harry coming towards them.
"Hey," Ron said, taking a seat beside his sister while Harry sat next to Hermione. "What are the two of you talking about that we can't hear?"
"Nothing you need to know about," Ginny replied.
"If you know about it, I need to know too," he retorted. "Can you tell us, Hermione?"
"Absolutely not!" she replied. "Ginny is old enough to have her privacy."
Harry raised an eyebrow.
"Did you break up with Dean Thomas?"
"Of course not," she replied. "But I will once I find him in the common room. The fool hasn't written me all summer!"
"Oh, good," Ron said, sending Harry a furtive glance. "I still think you should choose someone better," and he gave a sigh of relief.
"How about Draco Malfoy?" She said sarcastically.
Ron suddenly became alarmed and sat straight up.
"No way, not in my lifetime, never!" he exclaimed so loudly that people began to stare.
Ginny and Hermione exchanged glances and giggled. Harry just grinned and reached for some food.
Hermione, deciding to change the subject, turned to Harry.
"Has Dumbledore given you permission to return to the Quidditch team?"
Harry shook his head.
"McGonagall wrote me, saying that Dumbledore was too busy to deal with something as unimportant as that."
"You're kidding me!" Ron said incredulously. "What's more important that Quidditch?"
Ginny rolled her eyes.
"The fact that Vol--Vol--Oh darn it! I can't say his name!" Ginny said irritatedly. "The fact that You-Know-Who has returned! There, that's why!"
~~~
"Hey Malfoy!" Ginny shouted, running down the corridor. "Malfoy!"
He glanced behind him and continued on walking.
It was now a week into school and Ginny has been too busy with homework to even think about the "Teaching Malfoy About Love" thing. Luckily, it was now a Saturday and Hermione helped her finish homework early.
"MALFOY!" She shouted once she caught up to him.
People stopped to stare at her.
"WHAT?" He bellowed, annoyed with her.
Ginny was about to speak when she noticed the people staring at her.
"What're you looking at?" she snapped at the students.
They merely shrugged and continued on walking.
"Anyway," she turned back to Malfoy, but he wasn't there. She looked around and spotted him walking towards the library. She ran up to him. "You could've said something."
He ignored her and continued on walking, pretending she wasn't there.
"Hello?" she waved her hand in front of his face. "Malfoy? Malfoy!"
He turned to face her, frustrated.
"What do you want, Weasel?" he snapped so sharply that Ginny jumped back.
"No need to be harsh," she said. "So you don't know what love is, right?"
"Oh, not this again..." and he began walking again, entering the library.
Ginny followed him, trying to get him to agree to meet her.
"Well, my mum says that everyone deserves to be loved," she informed, "and to be loved is to know love---"
"I don't care what your mother says," he muttered. "Go away!"
"Well, that wasn't very nice," Ginny snuffed. "Haven't your parents ever taught you manners?"
They got into the restricted section.
"Oh, I'm sorry," he said sarcastically. "I meant 'GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!'"
A few seconds later, Madam Pince appeared in the restricted section and walked right up to them.
"You two!" she snapped. "Shouting in the library will not be tolerated! Both of you shall report here tonight for detention at nine o'clock!" and she stormed off.
"Good going, Malfoy," Ginny muttered.
"Shut up."
A/N: Hehehe!!!! Yay! I love this, it's so great, writing this funny fic. Hm...I wonder if I should change the second genre into humor, but I'm not sure if it's really that funny, only some parts. What do you reviewers think? Yes, yes, I know it's kind of short but there're always those times when there's a good place to end the chapter but it seems so short! Yeah...well, I used to make my chapter ten pages long some people would say that it was too long!!!! Haha...and now it's too short.
