I don't own any of the Harry Potter characters.

That's not Normal

I don't believe in normal. After all that I've been through with Harry and Ron, how could I? My life has been short of what I used to believe was normal. But I really wouldn't have it any other way. My life is special because of my experiences. I don't care if anyone thinks that makes me odd.

My mum always thought that I was odd when I was younger. Like with all magical children, things that shouldn't happen happened around me. For a Muggle, having a book float toward would be considered not normal. But for a witch, it is. But who's to say who's right. Magic is a part of life but the majority of the world doesn't even know it and consider it abnormal. That majority is wrong. But that doesn't make magic normal.

I am a Muggle-born witch. My blood alone should reject the magic that's in it but it doesn't. Muggle-borns are a minority but they show up all the time. Squibs are also a part of the world, even rarer than Muggle-borns but still possible. But they are considered to be part of the norm.

Most people for a long time thought that the Malfoys were a normal family. But is it normal to be homicidal? Is it normal to hate because of someone's blood? I don't think it is. It isn't abnormal either because it happens all the time. That isn't right...

Both my family and the Malfoys have one child and parents. The only real difference is my mum and dad can't do magic. What makes one family normal and the other odd?

Normal basically is what society says it is. Yet society is made up of individuals. Each individual has a different perspective on what is normal. If each one is different, how can one person's thoughts are considered normal while everyone be considered abnormal?

I'm not saying that there aren't any social guidelines, but that's all that they are guidelines. A social guideline we have in England may not be a guideline in another part of the world. Whose normal them, or us?

Who am I to judge that is normal and that isn't? Who am I to call someone odd just because they see life differently?

Harry has always told me that all he ever wanted was to be 'just Harry'. But isn't he already that even though he is famous? He can't be anything but Harry. Maybe I'm talking in circles. Harry isn't weird. He had some the oddest things happen to him but that doesn't make him odd but he isn't what anyone would call normal. Ron would agree with me for that one.

Ron is a topic that I don't even get into. Its way too complicated. I'm just going to say that nothing Ron is involved in can be normal. I like him but it's true.

I'm not normal. But I'm not abnormal either. I'm me.
