The 7 Signs of Madness

MexiChick

When You Start to Act Like an Uppity Protective Git

A/N: I'm sorry if I took awhile with this one, I've been busy with homework I should have finished ages ago and every time I started to write, I got distracted. Anyway, here it is, and please tell me what you think.

-ALERT: SHOCKING NEWS DISCOVERED! I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER. *gasp* I know it's true, Harry Potter belongs to the brilliant JK-

You are an idiot

That soon?

Yes

Am I allowed to ask why?

no

No?

No

I'm going to ask anyway

I'm not going to tell you

Fine

Fine

……

Why am I an "idiot"?

Because you decide to act like some…idiot

Very helpful Gin.

What can I say? I'm very eloquent.

And I'm a Muggle dentist.

Really? When did that happen?

Do you always have to be sarcastic?

It's who I am.

Apparently. So why am I an idiot.

Because of that way you acted when I was in the hospital wing.

You were in the hospital wing a lot.

Not - Well, okay yeah, I guess I was.

So?

The 5th sign

The…?

When you start to act like an uppity protective git.

Oh, that sign

Yes, that sign

That's why I'm an idiot?

Among other things

Other things?

You're a half-wit, imbecile -

Are you just going to list synonyms for idiot?

No! You are a … procrastinator, cheat, idiot, Slytherin, bastard, idiot, ingrate, idiot…idiot

Its nice to know you think I'm such an idiot.

Well, someone had to tell you!

And I'm so glad it was you

Oh! I just thought of another one. Moron.

*rolls eyes*

I like that word - moron.

"What the HELL did you mean by that stunt Nott?!" Draco thundered menacingly at the gangly, haughty, Slytherin.

"I meant," He pronounced lazily "to teach that little Gryff a lesson."

It was taking all of Draco's self-control not to pummel the idiot. "You had better stay the hell away from her Nott."

"I hit the bloody bint. It's not like I did anything new. Just because she's your new whore doesn't mean I'll go around being nice to her."

Draco tensed feeling much of his self-control slip away

Option 1: Kill him

Option 2: Beat him senseless

Option 3: Unavailable as of yet

Option 3 it was. Draco grabbed Nott's collar and pulled him closer. "I don't want to hear talking shit about Ginny, you understand that? And I don't want you to try that any time soon, or you just might find yourself in a position much like Zabini's in third year." Draco said gravely "Do you understand me Nott?"

Nott merely smirked

Clearly Nott did not understand. And clearly Nott did not know what was good for him, because Draco was not at all in the mood for bullshit. Draco abandoned what little self-control he had managed to hold onto and pulled his fist back until it connected to Theodore's face.

"Wow." Hermione whispered softly as she watched Draco Malfoy get into a fight with one of his Slytherin players for Ginny. Well, because of Ginny.

"Wow? What do you mean wow Hermione?" Ron asked with a slightly perplexed look on his face as he watched the two Slytherins Muggle duel.

"Well, I - I didn't know he cared about Ginny that much."

Ron realised that Hermione was right. No matter how much a foul git that bastard was, he clearly cared about his sister. Ron felt an odd emotion bubble up in his chest toward Malfoy.

Respect.

Funny, Malfoy had to go fight with a Slytherin because of some word he'd said about Ginny for Ron to respect him.

Hermione blinked realising something "We should stop this before Ginny comes and sees and gets all…"

"Ginny-like?"

"Yeah…I'm gonna get McGonagall or someone." Hermione muttered before scampering off to find a teacher.

Ron watched the two Slytherins battle it out some more trying to figure it out. Clearly Ginny saw something in that despicable git. What, he didn't know… Draco Malfoy was an insufferable, over-bearing, crude prat, but he was an insufferable, over-bearing, crude prat that cared for his sister. He wasn't sure if this was a good thing or not.

"DRACO! What were you thinking?!" Ginny exclaimed angrily as she shot up from the hospital bed.

"That he is not allowed to talk about you like that."

"Oh, please! It's just words. They don't mean anything!"

"Just words?! Do I have to remind you what he did with the fucking bludger!?"

"Of course you don't, you prat. I remember quite well, seeing that I'm in the hospital wing because of that!"

Draco tensed "Nott asked for it"

"I am perfectly capable of handling myself. You really think I was going to let him get away with it?"

"I think that you would be too busy what with the broken arm and leg."

Ginny groaned. "I'm fine! Don't go out picking fights with people because of something like that. If it offends me, I'll handle it."

"But seem Gin, that's the point," Draco explained in a thoroughly frustrated "It offends me. And I don't like being offended."

"Oh for goodness' sakes Draco…" Ginny sighed

Draco smirked and leaned forward "Are you done yelling at me?"

"I was not - "

But Ginny never did get to finish that sentence, Draco, leaned forward and silenced whatever words she had been about to say.

Moron

Excuse me?

MORON

Me?

Yes.

I am not a moron

Sure, I believe you.

How exactly am I a moron?

Why exactly did you think you had to hit him?

Because, he said some things about you I don't like

So? It's not like it offended me.

Well, you see Ginny Weasley; the world does not revolve around you. As it happens it offended me.

Moron

And you're just the person to go around calling people morons

I am.

Of course you are, what with you being a complete moron as well, that must give you excellent reference,

Whatever

By the by, I've been thinking -

Try not to, I might die of shock

*scowls* and I've realised that you're brother started being less…irksome after that particular incident

That's a bunch of crap. My brother was the same annoying, bothersome, meddling, person.

*raises an eyebrow* Oh really?

Yes.

Care to think more deeply about that?

Like what was different

He didn't yell so much

Not true

He stopped trying to tell you what to do

Not true

I don't recall being poisoned or attacked after that incident

Not - Hmm…You may have a point

Of course I do. I am always right.

Maybe we define always differently. You mean always as in "never" right?

*glowers*

*smirks*

………

………

………

Moron

Again with that!?
