The 7 Signs of Madness

MexiChick

When You Know You Have Officially Lost It

A/N: Ah, my last sign. Oh and for Anoik, I looked up Ginny's name in the HP Lexicon and it is spelled Ginevra. On with the story.

-Alas, it seems that word has spread and people have come to realise that Harry Potter and all Harry Potter related items belong to JK Rowling and not me. Tsk. Tsk. And you all swore you wouldn't tell -

Ah, the last sign…

*scoffs*

What?

It is - is…

Is?

It is when you know you have officially lost it

Oh really?

Any doubts on whether or not you had been assaulted by this - horrendous madness are obliterated if you go through this sign.

*laughs*

I do not see what's funny

You came to the conclusion from your… *laughs* insanity because you said the word love?

No sane person will say love.

Yes they would!

This is the sign when-you're-so-far-gone-that-you-mutter-the-three-most-dangerous-words-that-have-ever-had-the-misfortune-of-existing

Oh come on!

Those words are enough to land you in St. Mungos!

Then why aren't you in there?

Because you're a nutter as well.

What does that have to do with anything?

If you tell, you're getting slammed in there too

Moron

It is the truth! The stupid people out there deserve to know! We have to warn them before they do it themselves and lose it completely!

You make it sound like it's the worst thing in the world.

It is.

As I recall you weren't complaining.

I was too busy with you're tongue down my throat.

Which you fancied so much

What do you mean fancied?

Do you not know what words mean; or do you just ask me to be moronic?

I still fancy that very much Ginevra Weasley.

"Stupid…half-assed…ingrate…BASTARD!" Ginny muttered angrily as she snapped yet another quill in half. She growled "Dammit!"

"Mad at me or you're brother?" a voice interrupted her thoughts.

Draco.

"Neither."

"Neither?"

"Neither."

He raised an eyebrow questioningly and sat across from her leaning against the oak tree "who then?"

Ginny cussed again as she snapped her 8th quill that day. "My brother."

Draco stared at her.

"Not the brother you're thinking of. It's not Ron."

"Which one then?"

"Charlie."

"The one with Dragons?"

"yes."

"I thought you two got along well."

"We did" she muttered tensely "until the prat decided I'm a moronic little girl, who can't make good bloody decisions."

Draco sat silently watching her snap quill after quill.

"He sent me a howler!" She exclaimed "The bloody prat sent me a bleedin' howler! Talking about all this - this shit I don't care for."

"Care to tell me what this howler said?"

"Stupid things."

"That's all? You're usually one for elaboration Gin. Why so noncommittal all of sudden?"

Ginny sighed and looked into Draco silver-grey eyes unsure of whether or not she wanted to tell him what the howler said. Not because she thought her brother was right, but because she felt a little…odd telling him what Charlie said. "Some things…about you…and me."

"Mm-hmm. If you don't want to talk about it that's fine - really. You want to get something to eat?"

Ginny found it frustrating that he wasn't pressuring her to say something. Because she wanted him to press her for information, so she could vent and yell and scream. So he could tell her that Charlie was an idiot and that it was no way true.

Even though she knew it wasn't true the tiny irrational part of her brain wanted to hear him say that.

"He said that you were just using me. That I was just some - some girl you'd picked up for a meaningless shag and would drop me as soon as you could. He said that he thought I was smart enough not to fall for whatever shit you were telling me." She sighed "'but apparently I was wrong' that's what he said."

Ginny felt shaky after divulging all that information. Especially since Draco wasn't responding he was just sitting there quietly. Not that that was totally unusual…"Huh."

Ginny pursed her lips. Huh? She had just said all - that, and all he had to say was huh!? "That's all!?!"

"What do you mean?"

"That's all you're going to say!?"

SNAP. Another quill broken. The grass was now littered with broken bits of quills. "You really have to stop breaking you're quills Gin. You're going to run out."

She stood up angrily and started to walk away. MEN! They were all ignorant - BASTARDS! You really have to stop breaking you're quills Gin. You're going to run out. OH COME ON! What was he four! Did he not know when she wanted him to say something - reassuring!? ASSHOLE. Ginny felt someone yank her back and in one swift movement she had fallen into Draco Malfoy's lap.

Ginny tried to stand back up but realised he was holding her too tightly for her to be able to get up. "Let go." She said coldly.

"I don't think I will." Ginny felt her temper rise and was about to start screaming at him when he moved his free hand to her face and brushed aside a stray hair off of her face, "You don't believe that now do you?"

"What!?" she snapped, feeling her anger overwhelm her.

Very softly, so softly that Ginny wouldn't have been able to hear if she had not been three inches from his face, he said "What your brother said."

She stiffened and said nothing.

"Because if you do, I may have to take back everything I've ever said about you being intelligent. Because if you were in any way smart you would know that you mean more to me than any girl could ever mean."

Ginny felt a warm bubbling compulsion build up in her chest. And just like that her anger died. Funny. He was truly the only person on earth who could just make her rage - poof! Disappear.

Because Ginevra," he whispered to her, pulling her closer to him "as pathetic as it sounds, I think I may have fallen in love with you." He kissed her lips softly. "As a matter a fact - I know. I love you."

Ginny's heart soared. She was flying without ever leaving the ground. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pecked his soft lips. "I love you too." She whispered revelling in the fact that her idiot brother was an idiot.

I-D-I-O-T

Draco Malfoy loved her and she loved him. And if Ginny had anything to say about her future, Draco Malfoy would be stuck with her for a long time.

I still don't see how the words 'I love you' are so fatal.

That's because you are blinded by the insanity of them

And you aren't?

No. While I have succumbed to their insanity I can still see their treacherous plots quite easily.

*scoffs* treacherous?

How else would you explain a MALFOY saying I love you to a WEASLEY

Luck?

On your part?

Please. You were the lucky one.

As if.

You ended up with a perfectly sane, intelligent girl instead of an annoying, tiring, black-haired bimbo.

Where is this sane intelligent girl you speak of? For I have not yet met her.

Ha - ha. So funny.

You do realise the fact that you called yourself sane is completely false.

Really?

No sane woman goes off on a rampage and starts yelling at people randomly to clear her head.

I do not go on a rampage.

When you're angry you yell at anyone within a ten-mile radius.

LIAR

You're right. It's probably a 20 mile radius.

LIAR

Ask anyone. No wait. People are too innately terrified of you to tell you the truth. Trust me you enjoy yelling at everyone you see.

Terrified? Why on earth would they be terrified?

You are frightening when you are angry.

Sure.

Alarming, fearsome even.

And people just love you.

Of course they do.

Sure and my hair is black.

Again with your black hair fetish.

Fetish? I clearly stated that I do NOT like black hair. Eughh.

You just stated that you wanted black hair

Did not!

You'd look interesting with black hair.

I'd look whore-y

Mm-hmm

Why do you like black hair?

I don't.

You've been continually hinting at me to dye my hair. Which I will not do.

I don't like black hair. And I don't want you to dye your hair.

LIAR

I'm entranced by your horrendously bright fiery hair.

Oh really?

It's like the sun. It's so bright and vivid and ugly - but I still can't stop looking at it.

My hair is not ugly. Black hair is ugly.

I know. I don't think I'd like you quite the same if your hair wasn't red.

Really?

What disgusting feature would I point out then?

*rolls eyes* Moron

A/N: Just one more chapter and this story is done. Tear, tear. I'll have the Epilogue up soon, its actually written already. I just have to make a few corrections and well (obviously) submit it. Tell me all what you think.
