A/N:This chapter's line also mentions the phone. We'll just conveniently ignore that too please and thank you.
When she's mad and hangs up on you call her back.
"I can't believe you! How could you say something like that?"
"Oh come on Ginny! It was a joke."
"Well it wasn't very funny."
"That's a matter of opinion."
The whole common room is watching us fight. I don't know what she's so upset about. I made one off handed, joke about some other girls' looks and she flips out. I thought my tone made it clear that I wasn't interested in any of them. Apparently not clear enough for her though.
"Well my opinion is the one that matters right now and it's not in your favor!"
"Ginny, love, I didn't mean what I said. You should know that."
"Well if you didn't mean it then you shouldn't have said it!"
She turns on her heel and storms out of the portrait hole. I only hesitate long enough to breathe deeply before taking off after her. She must have run though because she's not in sight. It doesn't help that she knows so many more secret passages than I do either.
Luckily, I'm almost positive I know where she's heading. She always goes one of two places when she's upset. Her dorm room, where she obviously didn't head, and the Owlery. If you ask me I'd tell you it's one of the oddest places you could go when you're upset, but it's where she goes.
When I arrive at the tower entrance I can hear her pacing over the straw on the floor.
"Ginny?"
"I don't want to talk to you Dean, that's why I left the common room. I thought you're stupid brain would at least understand that," she says bitterly.
"I do understand that Gin, but I think we need to work this out now."
"Alright then Dean, if you won't leave me alone then lets hear what you have to say."
"Excellent! I'm making progress," I say allowing a small grin. "Now you have to understand Gin, I have no interest in other girls. I was joking around, I thought you'd know that. And I'm sorry it made you angry."
"How would I know you didn't mean it? How do I know you don't want to leave me for one of those girls?"
"Well I assumed you would know that no one else can capture my attention like you. And why in the world would I leave you for any other girl in this school?"
"Many girls are better looking than I am. Many girls are smarter than I am. Many girls are more experienced than I am. Would you like me to keep going?"
"You're insane love. I don't think any girl could be more beautiful than you are. And why would I want some know-it-all? Hermione's already my friend. Plus you make better grades then me and you're in the top of your class! You're plenty smart for me. And I don't need a more experienced girl. I rather like that you aren't because I'm not an experienced guy. I like taking things slowly. No other girl can compare to you. You're perfect," I sum it up.
"Flattery will get you no where," she says with a blush.
"Ah, but it isn't considered flattery if it's all the truth."
"Do you mean it?" she sighs.
"Every word love," I say moving closer to her.
"I'm sorry. I guess I over-reacted," she says quietly.
"Just a tad, but hey, it's one of your many lovely quirks."
"I'm really sorry. Deep down I knew you were joking. I just got the thought in my head that you would eventually want another girl, because I'm nothing special, and then you'd leave me. Then you made those comments and my insecurities seemed to sky-rocket."
"I'm sorry too love. You are something special though. I thought I had done a good job showing you that. Apparantely I need to work on that more though."
"No, you do wonderfully really. I just thought you'd bore of me and want a faster girl."
"Never," I say simply.
"Will you kiss me now?"
"I think I can manage that," I smirk.
A/N: I can pretty safely say that the chapters after this one will go back to a cheery Ginny. The last two and this one have all had her moody or depressed. Please review if you've got any comments.
