The Adventures of a Harry Potter background character.
Chapter One: An Introduction (I think)
I was now attending my fourth year at the acclaimed school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I thought it was fun, what with the magic and all. I mean, not a lot of people get to do the things that I did, I was lucky. Anyway, back on topic. I lazily placed my stuff by my bed and flopped onto my bed. My friend Crystal was in the bed next to mine, babbling on about something. I was feeling nosy, so I decided to poke my head in.
"Whatcha talking about?" I asked playfully.
"Harry Potter, haven't you heard of him? He's really big right now."
I decided, being the hipster that I was, to rebuttal a bit. "Oh I've heard of him, but I liked him before he was mainstream."
"Caroline, he's not a band, or a movie. He's someone who actually goes here." Crystal rolled her eyes, knowing how much of an idiot I had just made myself look like.
"Oh... That's nice dear!" That was my "I'm not paying attention" line (I got it from my mom). I never really cared for gossip about other students, it was probably something like "Oh did you hear about Harry Potter being caught doing _ with _?"
Later that day I was walking proudly down the halls (I'm like that) and I ran into a prefect.
"Oh, Caroline! I was looking for you!" She gleefully said.
"Oh no! Was I caught doing something bad? Did I draw on the walls? Did I bad-talk the quidditch team? Please don't kill me!" I was on the ground nearly crying at this point.
"Um...No, its good news actually!"
"Oh good!" I got up so fast I made the prefect jump.
"I was wondering, you have extremely good grades, and your old enough. I thought you would be perfect to be on the team of prefects! Would you like to join?"
"...No!" I cheerfully said and ran away, leaving the confused prefect to her thoughts.
Later that evening, I was eating in the great hall with Crystal and my lifelong crush Arthur stat right across from me. I yelped and hid under the table.
"Crystal! Hide me!"
"Caroline, hiding isn't going to help! Get up here!" She pulled me back to my spot.
Arthur smiled at me, I almost passed out.
"Caroline, are you okay? Your face is red." He asked, wiping some salt off of my face with a napkin.
Crystal leaned into me and whispered "Maybe its your "eczema" breaking out all over your face." I in return elbowed her in the side. "Oh I'm fine Arthur." I happily exclaimed. \
"I was thinking Caroline, maybe you should wear brighter colors along with your uniform. I mean, you have such a colorful and bouncy personality, yet you are forced to wear such bleak and boring colors. So if you wore brighter colors, your personality would reflect more." Just then, a teacher announced for us to all go to bed.
Before I went to bed I decided to write a letter to my parents, I got my favorite purple prose out and began to write.
"Dear mom and dad,
The moon is shining like a glob of bright jello in the sky."
I decided that that sounded really stupid so I started again.
"Dear Mom and Dad,
The moon is shining like a diamond in the sky."
Although that sounded overused and that phrase is commonly used for stars, I decided to go with it.
" The love in my heart keeps me up on this fine night."
That sounded extremely cheesy but that's what the purple prose is for.
"Arthur talked to me today, I know he does that a lot but today was special... Sure every other time he talks to me is special but I'm getting off topic. He told me that I should wear brighter colors to reflect my personality. Isn't that sweet? His blue eyes sparkled when he said that to me."
God I love my purple prose.
"Also, Crystal brought up this guy... Harry Plotter I think his name was... He seems like a nice guy!
Your daughter,
Caroline Agnew"
I edited it by adding words like "lovingly" and "beautiful" to my letter. I also drew a bunch of hearts and roses on it to make it more "love themed". I gave it to a random owl that keeps on pecking at my window and watched it fly. Then, knowing that the letter was getting to my parents, I fell asleep.
(Authors Note: I'm a little foggy on my Harry Potter knowledge so if I get a fact or two wrong please don't kill me! -cries- But I want this to be able to stand on its own so people who aren't the biggest fans of the series can read it. Constructive criticism please :) )
