Chapter 1

Julie's POV

I walked until me and my friends' spot outside the Hogwart's castle.

"So he was right there, next to me, and he grinned at me." I heard Melissia say, her lips almost reaching her ears.

"As much as Draco can smile." Shayna laughed at her own joke.

I smiled discretly, sitting next to them in the grass.

"Hey girls."

"Oh, hey Julie. Did you know Draco could smile?" Dahlee asked.

This time, I laughed lightly. I had known these three girls ever since I arrived at Hogwarts. We were all in Gryffindor, and who knows why, ever since our first year, their favorite subject to gossip was Draco Malfoy. To be honest, I thought he was mean, evil and stupid. But that was just me.

"I didn't even know he knew how to do that." I added.

As much as they wanted to pretend they didn't like Draco, the three of them would start drooling despite themselves.

Dahlee was the smartest of us all. She always had the good answers, and would have the best scores in all her exams, which sometimes made Hermione really angry. I swear one time I saw smoke coming out of her ears.

Shayna was the always-happy one. She was really popular at school, and everyone liked her. But it didn't seem to matter much to her. Everything she did was adulatoried by everyone, but I guess she never really noticed it.

Melissia was the gossip girl. She always knew the best or worse rumors going around the school, and I suspected her to even start some of them. She loved to get into other people's business. It was not in a mean way, she just was the most curious person I knew.

As for myself, I was nothing much. Or at least, that's what everyone seemed to think. I was not the most beautiful, nor the smartest... I was just this ordinary girl that come and go in a giant school with thousands of students.

All my friends had a label, but I didn't, which made me one of the most ordinary girls out there.

"Oh look, it's Livia." Shayna pointed.

"Ugh, I hate that girl." Mel rolled her eyes.

"You're just jealous because she hangs out with Draco." Dahlee smiled.

Mel just shrugged, looking up. Everyone knew Dahlee was right, but no one said anything. We all looked at Livia passing by.

"Hey, bitch!" Shayna yelled.

Livia didn't even turn around. All she did was raised her hand, clearly showing her middle fingers to me and my friends.

"She's so sociable." Melissia laughed.

"What did you expect? Shayna called her a bitch..." I pointed with a frown.

"She is. And she knows she is." Dahlee explained.

As much as I couldn't believe it, my three friends were really look alike. They fit perfectly together, and most of the time, they thought exactly the same thing.

"So let's change the subject. Julie, did you ask Ron out yet?"

My heart started to beat quicker. Everytime they'd talk about Ron, I hated myself for telling them I had a crush on him.

"Why would I?" I shrugged.

"Yea, he's so weird..." Mel started.

"And honestly, you don't fit with him at all." Dahlee added.

"He's different from us. And he hangs out with Harry Potter." Shayna pointed.

"So what?" i frowned once again.

"He's just the kind of guy that wouldn't fit with us. And even less with you, Julie."

I hated when they did that. They were my best friends, and they tried to discourage me, especially when it comes to love. Actually, if I want to be honest, I've liked Ron ever since I first saw him, some years ago. He just seemed so special to me.

I got up, suddenly feeling the need to be alone.

"Julie..." Shayna started.

I turned around and looked at my friends with a questionning look.

"Forget him." Dahlee said, nodding.

I sighed and turned away. I didn't tell them, but I would never ot a cross on Ron. Ever.
