Ooh… they're going to kiss…
Not this chapter.
In about 4 more chapters? Hahaha. Just wait and see! Oh… you're going to hate this chapter.
OOOOOOOOOO
Once when I was young I fell in love very easily and very frequently.
But I don't know too much anymore. I stopped that childish, reckless act about a few years ago because I realized what horrid things it was doing to me.
That is why lately for the past… year or so? I've been very hateful.
I've decided today, I should actually love something.
First off, I love my mum and dad. They've fed me, clothed me, changed my diapers, cut my hair, bought me books, supported me, but most of all, they loved me.
I also love my brothers, Bill, Charlie, Fred and George, and my sisters, Percy and Ron. I love my brothers because they're really great people and I love my sisters because I have to and because otherwise, mum will kill me.
I love my friends, Hermione Granger especially (I'm telling this girl to run for minister of magic. But I'm a little hesitant because I'm afraid it'll corrupt her because that's what politics does to you, eh, Scrimgeor) and co-workers for dealing with me even though I don't like half of them. Or more than half.
I also love Harry Potter for being unemployed but still buying me food.
I also love that man a few days ago that I bought coffee from because he was very nice.
I also love Slytherins who weren't death eaters, wink.
I love orange juice.
I love watching muggle movies.
I love strawberry yogurt.
And… that's about it.
See? I, Ginevra Weasley, am a woman of love.
Hah.
Ginny Weasley, Daily Prophet
Ginny yawned, threw her quill down and shoved her papers up to the corner of her desk, leaning back on her chair. She had finished early that day; it was just one o'clock.
Where is Draco Malfoy?
She thought secretly, thrilled that he hadn't showed up yet but also, in the back of her head, slightly worried. She stopped moving and sat still, trying to listen to the 'pitty-pat's in which she knew to be Draco's walk patterns.
After a few minutes, when Draco Malfoy still didn't come boasting in, Ginny grinned widely and got up to leave. She closed the door behind her, locked it, and turned around, only to almost bump into a man who stood next to her door.
No, it wasn't Draco Malfoy. (Sorry ladies.)
"H-hey, Terry. I swear I just saw you last night…"
"Yeah well, I just got back from Spain and I wanted to see you. What's up?"
"Nothing much. Just finished up my column."
"I've always envied your work. You work about 2 hours a day."
"Now, there's more to that. I have to get it edited, then I have to turn them in and I have to get some coffee and then I have to deal with problems there might be and I have to do some yelling and then I have to walk all the way back here to clean up."
Terry smiled, Ginny sensing a familiar jerk in her stomach. "Maybe four hours, then."
"Five. Don't forget my bathroom breaks."
"Five, then. How's everything going with you? Last time I heard, you were still in middle of dumping that Finnigan guy…"
"Oh, when were you last here, Terry? That was ages ago."
"So you're with Malfoy, then?"
Ginny took out the keys from her doorknob and stuffed them in her purse.
"How about we go somewhere else to talk? I mean, we are standing in middle of the media… literally."
"Great! I know this really nice place downtown. Do you want to appa-"
"She doesn't like apparating, Boot." Ginny put her head in her hands as Draco came sauntering down the hall. If only she had gotten out of there a few minutes ago…
"Draco Malfoy… it's been a while." Terry said, glancing at the two of them, Ginny blushing furiously and looking away.
"Yes, well we all have lives. Ginny dear, have you missed me?"
"No, actually…"
"Terrific. I missed you too. Where shall we go for lunch?"
"Actually, Malfoy, Terry and I were already making plans…"
"Buggers, I had been resisting myself from coming to visit you for no reason, then?"
"Oh, shut up, Malfoy." Ginny groaned.
"Ginny, should we go?" Terry asked softly, trying to avoid Draco's death glare.
"S-"
"No, Ginevra, you must come with me. We have very IMPORTANT matters to discuss." Draco pushed.
Ginny looked back and forth and Draco and Terry, then laughed.
"I don't believe this." They were fighting for her.
Or, at least Draco was.
"Oh, well, then, Ginny, I'll catch you another time, then, yeah?" Terry said shakily, eyeing Draco from the corner of his eyes.
"Of course." Ginny muttered. She waved until she saw Terry disappear behind the door and turned to face Draco.
"Why?"
"Because baby, you're mine." Draco said without his usual smirk.
"WHY? I love him."
Draco shifted onto his left foot. "You do… and does this Billy or Sherry know this?"
"His name is Terry." Ginny said, blushing and trying to look away.
"Does Terry know you- love him?"
"Leave me alone, Malfoy. Go away."
"I need to discuss this with you, Ginny." Draco said in the most sincere voice she had ever heard him speak in so far and it nearly scared her. Ginny nodded and without warning, she was apparating again.
OOOOOOOOOO
"Sit."
Ginny sat in the plump seat in front of Draco, a cold bottle of Butter beer in her hand.
"So let's go over this again. You love this Terry guy."
"I don't love him… I just…"
"You love him." Draco instructed.
"Maybe…"
"You want him back?"
"Well, yes."
"When did you date him?"
"Right after I graduated. I don't know if we dated or not. It seemed more like a fling."
"Ginny Weasley had a fling? That's the surprise of the century."
"I've had MANY flings."
"No need to get defensive now. You had a fling with this Terry guy and you love him."
"I think…"
"He's not a fling then, is he?"
"Huh?"
Draco sighed, almost rolling his eyes. "The reasons for flings are so that you don't love them and it's just a careless stupid relationship."
"It wasn't stupid!" Ginny cried.
"So you actually dated him?"
"Yes."
"So you've never had a fling then, huh."
"Yes I did!"
"You don't even know what a fling is, Weasley."
"The point is, Malfoy, that I haven't seem him for ages and… well, I can't tell you what love is but I know that it was always Terry there, whether it was Seamus or Zacharias or Colin or…"
"Me?" Draco asked.
Ginny thought for a moment before answering him. "We don't have a relationship, Malfoy. We never did."
"Yes we did."
"There's nothing between us, Malfoy. I hate you and you hate me."
"So this contract we had is over then?"
Ginny slumped. "I don't know… I didn't think Terry will be back so soon…"
"You do realize he has his own woman now?"
"You mean Jane?"
"Yeah, that chick he was with last night. You want to steal him from her and…"
"I just want to wait for Terry… and I want to be single while I'm at it."
"So we DO have a relationship!"
Ginny gulped her butter beer. "You know what I mean. I just don't want him thinking I'm with you."
"So we're over then."
"I guess. I'll write an apology letter for you or something. I'll tell John not to print what I had this morning. But please, Malfoy, I want it to be over. I'm sick of it."
"What's your main reason for this, Weasley? Terry or me?"
"Look, Malfoy, we're just not cut out for this. I'm not as strong as I thought I was, okay? You win. And now Terry's here and I can't work anything out when you're here and I think I really love him and…"
"Okay. Okay, then. So I'll sit here and watch you run off and break up a happy couple because of your own selfishness and confused mind." Draco spat.
Ginny glared at him through her overwhelming tears. "I'm sorry that YOU don't understand love, but this is what it does, okay? I'm sorry that you've never had feelings for ANYONE before. You know what, Malfoy, I wanted to end this in a good note but it just doesn't happen with you, huh? Your whole goddamn reputation is ruined now because a girl dumped you-"
"Oh, don't worry about me, love, it won't scar too badly since it was a greedy whore anyway."
Ginny stood up and flung her purse on her shoulder.
"That's IT. I hope you have a nice life, darling."
"I WILL. And good luck with your little love thing. Even though I don't know if being the 'other woman' is the right job for you."
"You'll see, Malfoy."
"Oh, I just can't wait, love."
Ginny took a step sideways when Draco had beaten her to it. He blocked her way out and grabbed her arm.
"Let GO."
"It's a funny thing, love, isn't it? How you, the person I was most interested in out of all the women I've ever been with happens to be the one who walks away from me? The one I never kissed?" Draco whispered, his cold eyes almost seeming to thaw and melt.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Ooh.
Break up.
Nice, huh?
DON'T HATE ME! Hehe.
Don't worry, they'll be back together (of course!) It's a DracoGinny story after all.
I thought it was going to be funny and that's what I told you guys, right? But it wasn't, wasn't it. Think of it this way, though… break ups aren't meant to be funny.
Thank you for completing the questionnaire, guys! Sim1014, marauders babe, jjp91, Anna, Kinboshi, Allychik6, willywonka.
Two questions this time… you don't have to do it. It'll just help me write faster. ; )
How bad was this break up from a scale of 1-10?
Should Ginny actually hook up with Terry during their break?
Later! Review PLEASE. : ) you like my manners now, eh?
