*Disclaimer* I do not *sigh* own harry potter, Hogwarts or anything familiar.

Here is my first Harry Potter fanfiction and third story on here EVER! And as a bonus I have a song I wrote by myself the inspired this story so enjoy!

My name is Stephanie, Stephanie Williams, and I suppose you expect some Sally Sob Story or a Penny Perfection Portrait…

I was neither, I was your average –as one could get- Hogwarts student: Average grades, little to no popularity, and oh yeah no confidence. My appearance was the root of most of my social problems from my frizzy unmanageable 'Jew fro'-like red hair to my Dead fish belly white skin with out-of-control acne and freckles, not ONCE did I get a tan -sunburns a plenty and freckles that I couldn't will to hold hands- not one tan.

Most of my school history I was invisible in the social sense; the Marauders were in my year and house, so therefore used up all the attention, what with them getting in trouble daily. In fact I was completely ignored until my fourth year when my Muggle mother –bless her heart- decided I needed braces, and so when I came back in September complete with hot pink braces and a lisp I became the punching bag of the 'Slytherin Trio' but more on them later. Now the lisp wasn't my fault at all! It was so totally not my fault that my tongue as incompatible with the metal of the braces but like the wuss I was I kept my mouth shut and did my best to avoid saying the S sound as it would start a whole new level of teasing but it was hard because my name Stephanie would sound like Thesphine (Pronounce it like sesame) and life just became one torture after another.

At first it was 'Beaver' and 'wire face' or maybe 'snaggle tooth' but the list was ever growing. They even playing some of the meaner pranks on me normally reserved for the Marauders, and the fact I was in Gryffindor didn't help at all. Now what started as occasional teasing and a few bruises here or there turned into daily teasing and almost daily Hospital Wing trips with unexplained bruises and the occasional broken bone. It kept getting worse until my Fourth year…

Darkness falling,

Darkness calling,

Everlasting cold,

I live without light yet my achievements are bright,

Never have I been so alone,

As I sit alone, on my chair,

I think about, the world out there,

Darkness is my friend, lonely until the end,

Words without sound, life without light,

I have no hope but I still push on,

Darkness calling,

Darkness falling,

Everlasting cold,

I live without light yet my achievements are bright,

Never have I been so alone.

The world shuns, but I still push on,

They say life has purpose,

But I'm cold and bitter, so cold and bitter,

So why am I alone? So alone?

Darkness calling,

Darkness falling,

Everlasting cold,

I live without light, yet my achievements are bright,

And never have I been so alone.

Hope you all like it and please REVIEW! And do you like the song? I wrote it by myself it has a sort of Sarah MacLauchlan sound to it.
