| | | Love is Just a Four-Letter Word for a Death Eater - Sa13+
Hello there, and welcome to LiJaF-LWfaDE [the abbreviation is almost as long as the title itself], my third Fan Fiction on SnitchSeeker. Constructive criticism is appreciated, but please don’t flame me. Also, if you have a problem with one of my readers, please PM them about it. Don’t yell at them on my thread.
I like to have a really friendly thread, so chatting about the fic is okay, but I don’t want spam. :] This became a problem in my last FF, so I'm I'm implementing a rule I'd like y'all to please be super kind and follow. Feel absolutely free to leave a comment after I post, but if you have anything extra you'd like to add, please edit your post, PM me, or leave me a UN. I don't want the mods to have to come and clean out my FF thread again.
Most of all - please have fun! I love writing for active readers who leave me great things to reply to. You're my inspiration to write, so be my guest and get a little goofy!
Normally, I leave a summary of the story ... but I figured that the title explains itself pretty well. So without further ado ... Love is Just a Four-Letter Word for a Death Eater.
To some people, love is something taken for granted. It is pushed aside when it becomes inconvenient, yet, when desired, people expect to receive it, no questions asked. After all, love is supposed to be unconditional. But to people like me … love is a hindrance. It is not needed, it is not accepted, and it is not wanted. For a Death Eater, love is just a four-letter word.
“Did you see his face?” Malfoy sneers as we walk into our Common Room. “I thought the kid was going to puke all over himself!”
I watch him as he imitates the boy, puffing out his cheeks and crossing his eyes. I can’t help but to laugh stupidly. It’s my job.
“I’m bored,” Crabbe sighs just moments after Draco stops his game of charades. Draco looks at him angrily. He doesn’t like it when it is basically implied that he is boring. I don’t say anything. Sometimes I think Malfoy is more stupid than Crabbe.
“What’re you looking at?” Malfoy glares at me, looking for somewhere to vent his newfound anger.
“Nothing,” I hastily reply. “I think I’ll go to bed, now. I don’t feel well.”
Malfoy laughs, and Crabbe joins in, though I’m sure he doesn’t understand what is funny. I look at the two and finally ask, “What?”
“We know what you’re up to,” Malfoy says first. Crabbe doesn’t talk much.
“What?” I ask again, more innocently this time.
Draco shakes his head. “You’re pathetic. You’re writing to her again, aren’t you?”
“Who?” I question, wishing that my appearance of stupidity would finally be convincing when I need it.
“That girl – the one we met – well, you know when. On our way to work. What’s her name? Janie? What a boring name.”
I don’t say anything. He already knows what‘s going through my head; I’m sure of it.
“You need to move on, Goyle. It’s not good for business to be tied down at such an early age. She wouldn’t understand you and the things that you do.”
I nod my head, agreeing. He’s probably right, but I don’t like to think of it. I manage to get away though, and I sit down to write a note anyway. Dear Janie,
I got your last letter. Draco doesn’t like you sending them. You know how he is. I hope I can see you soon. Meet me in the Entrance Hall tomorrow at our usual time. Write me back quickly, okay?
- Goyle
P.S. I don’t know if I’ve ever told you, but I really like your first name.
Originally, I had written ‘Love, Goyle,’ at the end, but if it was intercepted, I’d be in trouble. No love is allowed. Like Draco says – it’s bad for business. |

Wow I can't believe I never took the time to read this...
its soo amazing, and I love that it's from his point of view!
I was so sad when he killed that little boy...I'd never be able to kill someone, especially if they looked like someone I knew..
It was sweet of him to get her a present though! Janie's gonna die if she finds out what he's been doing...and that he's a murderer!
PAMS

I sit in the Room of Requirements, waiting for Janie to arrive. She’s a little late, but it doesn’t surprise me in the least - that’s just Janie’s style. I still check my watch every couple of minutes anyway, hoping she’ll come soon.
Finally, the door swings open and her beautiful face meets mine. I go and wrap her in a big bear hug and she giggles.
When I let go she closes her eyes and holds out her hands. “All right, surprise me!”
I laugh and lean in and kiss her. It’s really nice, and her hands wrap around me once more. We stop, and I reach into my bag, pulling out the wrapped present once more.
“Don’t laugh at me,” I say awkwardly as she fingers the ribbons thoughtfully.
She nods and slips off the bow. She fumbles with the box lid some, but when she gets it open at last, I see her face light up. Inside is a thin silver chain with a quarter of a karat diamond sitting on it.
Her eyes meet mine, and then she looks back down at the necklace, and then back at me, and before I know what she’s doing, she’s tackling me. We fall over and land on the couch, and she’s laughing and hugging me.
“It’s ... gorgeous! Greg ... where did you get it from?”
“I told you,” I smiled. “We got it today ... and where ... it’s a secret.”
“You’re amazing,” she whispers. “You really are.”
....
“He knows.”
“What do you mean, he knows?” I ask, panicked.
“I mean he contacted me today, and he wants to know about her,” Malfoy answers back. Worry is etched all into his face, which astonishes me. But I know he’s not worried for her - he’s worried for me. “Voldemort knows about Janie, and he wants her gone. Your way - or mine.”
I shudder, because neither would have a good ending.

Oh no, this can't end well for anyone involved. And I don't know why Voldy has to be such a meany  Other death eaters are married! Maybe it is becuase Janie is good, unlike the rest of them

ooo, going to kiss, I'm sorry, that should say kill her? Wow, ok.
You want critism? Here goes. You jump to much. There should have been a trasitition from when Goyle was with his girl and when he talks to Malfoy.
I personally think that Quote:
Her eyes meet mine, and then she looks back down at the necklace, and then back at me, and before I know what she’s doing, she’s tackling me. We fall over and land on the couch, and she’s laughing and hugging me.
That could have been combined with semi-colons; how I am doing now is an example.
That's all I can think of.
Sorry, if that's not what you wanted, but I really do think this story is great. PAMS!
Jessica
