Chapter 7: BoyFriend
Notes: The only person I could think of first would be Ginny Weasley, at the end of the fifth book she casually mentions how she'd already dated Dean and (I think) a few other boys. I'm sure all us fangirls knew we were doomed to see the rest of the story completely through Harry's eyes…he isn't the most observant guy. I was thinking of describing the moment she " gave up on" Harry. I'm pretty sure it wasn't just one. I'm sure it was a cluster of moments , so I may continue this idea. This is in the third book, seeds of doubt ( or reality, no offence Ginny) are sown. It's easy to be confused when you're 12.

" Mum …why did you know you fancied dad?" Ginny asked her mother as she helped her pack for their trip to Egypt.
It was as if somebody had been watching her since she'd gotten off the express and thought ' we must do something to help this girl!' of course it effected other people besides her…is floated over her and let the rest of her family forget for a moment.
Forget her pathetic attempt to find a friend in a book.
" I suppose …about our first trip to Hogsmeade," she said with a smile, looking over large pile of socks she was compacting to fit in the suit case.
Ginny's eyebrows rose.
"You mean…not when you first met, you didn't feel…?" she said , feeling a bit alarmed.
Molly looked up and her eyes softened. Ginny knew the look , it was always that look. That or caution, afraid Ginny would do something barmy again.
" Oh yes, but I didn't look at your father that way…not for a while at least," she said.
Ginny sat on her parent's bed, in the middle of the room, next to the suitcase, abandoning all pretense of folding.
" Why not?" she demanded.
Molly was getting the feeling that she wasn't just asking about her father…
She smiled sympathetically.
" Ginny dear…he and I …until our seventh year it was as if we weren't even in the same part of Hogwarts…we were in different…places," she said delicately.
Ah Ginny knew this one.
" He wasn't what you wanted," she said.
Molly laughed.
" I was seventeen love, I had so many other things to think about, he was just…in my blind spot," she said.
Ginny frowned.
" You mean you couldn't see him? Weren't you looking?" Ginny said.
" Dear…I didn't want a boyfriend, I saw other girls with them…I saw them cry over them. I saw them rip each other apart because they both fancied the same boy…and frankly nothing they said , the boys that is love, appealed to me," Molly said with a shrug.
Ginny raised her eyebrows doubtfully.
" None ?" she said.
Molly flushed.
" I fancied a few…but to be honest and quite blunt that was because I didn't know them, not really. To be honest looking at them seemed to be the only safe thing to do. I only knew their reputations and their faces… their bodies-" Ginny interrupted her mother with a red face.
" I understand mum!" she squeaked.
Molly smiled.
" I'll point out any Egyptian boys you may be interested in…there isn't anything wrong with an occasional healthy stare," her mother said with a wink.
Ginny flushed and stood up.
"Mum!" she said.
Molly smiled at her innocently.
" You it works better with dark glasses…those muggle whats-its…your father brought some home one summer, I'll get you a pair of those!" she said cheerily.
Ginny opened her mouth to protest but then raised her eyebrows…" Do you think he could get me a pair tinted green?" she asked.
A/n: Hey Molly had Seven kids…anywho review please! Let me know what character you want to hear from next! Time for reviews!

Ukyoumon – Bill is Pretty awesome I'm thinking of doing a series about their trip to Egypt before/during the third book. That'd be awesome. " Weasleys in Egypt!"
