Authors Note: This story is based off the role play diary character I've had on opendiary since 2004. Before teenopendiary shut down, however, I had this character on that site since 2002. With that being said, I hope I can turn the short entries into a Harry Potter fanfic! Please review!
P.S. Some of the characters contained are ones I own while others are some you are familiar with!
Most people only noticed her physique. How could they not? It was a part of her heritage. With the alluring silver long locks flowing freely in the wind, piercing blue eyes, and perfect body – it was a wonder that anyone thought she was anything less than flawless. A perfect lady. A perfect Ravenclaw. A perfect woman. This, however, was not a blessing in her eyes. When she wanted people to stop being shallow, they often couldn't.
Being in her 6th year, most would think she'd have enough friends to start her own sorority but this was not the case. Women were envious of her. They were jealous how she could walk into any room and all eyes would gaze to her. They were bitter of her songbird like voice, and they couldn't stomach how she was both beautiful & talented for that was a lethal combination. As for male friends – they were few and far between. Most would get attached to her in a romantic way and when she wouldn't return the favor, they'd never talk to her again. As for the ones who were her friend, she was thankful for that.
Sitting on the Hogwarts Express, she sat alone drawing shapes on the window with her finger. Her Ravenclaw robes draped over her body as she crossed her legs. Her thoughts were locked on the events of the summer. Being a veela came with a curse she never understood. Trying to hide it the best she could, it was often hard to get close to anyone. The powers and strength that lied inside her could be her biggest enemy.
"Hey Tanya! I didn't hear from you this summer!" Cho Chang said as she squeezed into the booth.
"Oh hey Cho-Cho!" Tanya beamed. "I am sorry. I was….busy," She anxiously shifted into her seat.
"Don't worry about it. We have plenty of time to catch up in the dormitory!" Cho exclaimed.
"So has Harry forgiven you yet for the Ms. Umbridge incident?" Tanya forced a conversation question.
"No," Cho replied as she shifted her eyes to the ground. "I was under a spell and I know he understands that buts things haven't been the same…Maybe it's not him. Maybe it's me." Cho shrugged.
"Men are complicated," Tanya vaguely stated.
"We're almost here!" Cho said as she grabbed ahold of Tanya's arm in excitement.
Changing her gaze to the windshield, Tanya watched as the train approached Hogwarts.
"Let me help you with your luggage man," a random male student offered.
"Here Madame, I got them!" Another said fighting to break away the luggage from the other.
"Please guys, I got it!" Tanya rolled her eyes. "If I need you, I'll ask," She winked. Both males closed their eyes as they went to their own world – as if they were melting.
"How do you do that?" Cho asked astounded.
"Do what?" Tanya retorted obliviously.
"Men fight to carry in your bags. You wink at them and they're clay in your hands. They'll do anything you ask! What is your secret?" Cho eagerly questioned.
Feeling her face grow in fear that her secret would be revealed, Tanya tried to be poised and confident. "Hey you know what they say – if you got it…you got it!" She awkwardly laughed as they exited the train.
Walking onto the dock hovering over the Black Lake, Tanya sighed as she could vaguely see the castle from a distance. Her years at Hogwarts hadn't been exactly happy ones. Filled with memories of failed relationships, dark secrets, and heavy burdens – she often felt the urge to run and not attend the school anymore. She even tried Beauxbatons Academy of Magic temporarily, but she missed the co-ed feel of Hogwarts.
"Tanya Delacour!" A cheery voice bellowed.
"Hello Colin," Tanya said annoyingly.
"Can I get a picture of you and the lovely Mandy Brocklehurst sitting beside you?" He asked.
"I suppose," she stated as the displeasure in her voice intensified.
Letting out a fake smile, Tanya looked at the camera with seduction.
"Thanks! I can't wait to develop this!" Colin hurried away.
Letting out a giggle, Tanya watched Colin scurry away back to his fellow Gryffindors. She appreciated the fact that the was one of her friends – even if he aggravated her at times.
She could feel the presence of negativity inside her. The year hadn't even begun but she was not looking forward to it.
"Here goes nothing!" She said under her breath as the boat made its way to Hogwarts.
