For The Hogwarts Online Forum. The Zodiac Challenge I got Cancer and My character is Zacharias Smith.
He was jealous of him.
Jealous of the famous Harry Potter.
One day he wished he could be famous, but deep down inside Zacharias knew he would never be famous.
He would always be the same old Zacharias smith.
Stupid Gryffindors. He thought as he saw the golden trio walk across the grounds, talking and laughing. He glared at them.
"What's up?" Justin asked.
Zach shook his head.
"Nothing,"
Justin rolled his eyes.
"Oh, oh course there is something up. Come on, you know you can tell me."
Zach sighed.
"It's nothing Justin. Trust me."
"Then why are you staring at them?" He asked, giving a short nod towards the Trio as they disappeared inside Hogwarts.
Justin knew him too well to be fooled.
"Jealous," He muttered.
"Pardon?"
"I said Jealous Justin."
"Okay, Okay. So, let's face it, you're jealous of the famous Harry Potter?" Justin smirked, folding his arms in delight.
Zach scowled.
"Any reasons why?"
"Well, just look of him! He's powerful, strong, rich, and so many people die saving him-"
Justin's eyes darkened.
"That's nothing to be jealous of Zacharias! Do you want people to die to save you? To make you feel famous?" Zach looked at him. "No. So many people die for him because they care for him."
"Since when did you started caring about Harry Potter?" Zach snapped.
"I care for him because he is the only one that can defeat He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named."
There was an awkward pause and Zach looked around him, avoiding Justin's gaze.
"But don't you want to know what they are up too? Don't you know want to know what happened at the Ministry? Or even when Cedric got killed?" Zach demanded.
Justin groaned.
"Not this again,"
"Yes Justin! They should of got into trouble but yet they didn't! If I did that to try and save a loved one-"
"Zach, look. The first one was in a competition so that one was out. A death eater put his name in the fire, and the second one was to save someone he loved before getting killed. So what I heard from Hannah anyway."
Zach scoffed.
"If you want to be jealous or be a prick, go to Draco Malfoy I'm sure he be more than willing to help you." Justin snapped.
Zach pulled a face.
"Draco Malfoy? No way! He hates our kind."
"Then don't act as stupid, idiot."
"I'm not an idiot." Zach retorted.
Justin shrugged. "Well seems like your acting one."
"But listen, have you ever wanted to become famous? Even in the Muggle World?"
Justin thought for a while.
"I did. I wanted to become an actor. My dad was really good at collecting autographs from actors. But I don't want to be famous in the Wizarding World though" He admitted.
"What's an actor? Some sort of illness?' A cold sneaky voice asked and Justin gave a quite groan, as they turned round to face Draco Malfoy and his crew.
"Shut it Malfoy," Zach said standing up.
The Slytherins snickered.
"Why should I listen to you? Tell me what an actor is," Draco smirked folding his arms.
"It's a person who acts in stage plays or on a television. You don't know either of these things because unlike me you are a git, so leave us alone." Zach snapped and he grabbed Justin by the arm, as they turned round to go the Slytherins snickered and laughed.
Once they were safe they stopped walking and sat down again inside.
"Thanks Zach for standing up to them." Justin said, patting his friend on the back.
"Sometimes it's got to be done."
"Though even if you can be an idiot, that was a very brave thing to do."
They both smirked and shook hands.
