Subplot 14: Love Hurts
»• _____ Pucey [7] [P]
»• Gwenevere Potter [6] [H]
»• _____ Finnigan [7] [H]
____ Potter, the daughter of Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley. She is a beautiful young woman who looks exactly like her grandmother Lily Potter, the grandmother she had never gotten to know. The young woman is as fiery as her mother and as stubborn as her father. Unlike her parents, however, she has never known hardships. Sure she is looked upon as the prodigee of her famous father, but all she wants is to stay out of the spotlight and just go about her life as though no one is watching. Now, remember when I said the young woman was stubborn, fiery, and never known hardship? Well, sadly that had changed somewhat in the past year for the young Potter girl.
____ Pucey, a longtime boyfriend of ____ Potter. Yes, it is a phenomenon seeing a Gryffindor with a Slytherin in their type of relationship, but neither seem to mind. ____ Pucey is a sweetheart stuck in the midst of a biased house, and treats ____ Potter very well. However, it tends not to be well enough, especially when it concerns his temper. Anger Management is something he needs to read on, and he has an explosive temper. Want to know how explosive? Just misjudging one small thing ____ Potter has said and he hits her. Yes, he is quite abusive, but no one else knows this but ____ Potter. Slaps, hits, anything imaginable happens to this girl and she always has to make up an excuse as to why she has come to class with a swollen cheek with a bruise on it. However, ____ Pucey always winds up apologizing, holding ____ Potter close and saying 'sorry' over and over just to have her forgiveness. To him, she is the best thing to happen to him and he doesn't want to lose her.
Now, one would ask why ____ Potter doesn't break up with the guy? Well, simple. She loves him and hopes one day he will take control of his anger problems. Even though the girl is fiery with her temper she doesn't speak back in arguments with ____ Pucey in fear of invoking his anger more. However, she stays with him, trying to calm him down after one of his fits and just... being there still. ____ Potter really loves him and he loves her. However... what is she actually found someone better?
____ Finnigan is a hufflepuff with a twist. He is more of the hardworker than the extremely sweet kind, but he is a kindhearted person... he just doesn't like acting it. Someone could say he is a very... out of place Hufflepuff if you think about it. Now, I am guessing you are thinking he is the one that is 'better'? Well, your right. One evening he meets ____ Potter in the library and notices that she is trying so hard to hide the bruises that she had just freshly gotten that morning. When he asks her what's wrong, she lies like she always did and told him not to worry. Reluctantly he believes her and they begin a conversation. Soon... she finds that he is alot nicer than he appears and wonders if it would be wise to break up with ____ Pucey. But what if his anger came out when she did? And how will she know that ____ Finnigan won't treat her the same way? Soon, ____ Finnigan finds himself falling for the young red-head, but starts becoming so concerned with her getting those bruises.
Will ____ Potter get up enough trust for ____ Finnigan to tell him about her abusive boyfriend? What will ____ Finnigan do if he finds out? Will ____ Potter be able to break up with ____ Pucey without envoking his anger, if she decides to do so? Or will she continue to suffer through the pain? Well, love hurts and one wonders if it can be healed.
Note: Start before ____ Potter meets ____ Finnigan. Then go from there.
