1.A/N: This is my second Harry Potter fanfic with an original character. I hope you enjoy it. I'll try not to make my character a Mary Sue but I can't promise anything,...personally I like Mary Sues once in a while,...if anyone's interested in being my BETA READER for this story, then please let me know in a Private message or in a review.

Please review ?

The library. The most sacred place of Hogwarts.

The scent of leather and parchment invaded my senses and I breathed in deeply. The scratching of quills and the turning of pages were the only sounds that could be heard. I sighed contentedly and dipped my navy blue quill back in the ink. I think you already know that I'm the kind of person who comes here often, very often. I'm the kind of person who'd rather die then get bad grades. Okay, so maybe that was a bit overdramatic but the point is; I'm a Ravenclaw through and through; I'm the Hermione Granger of Ravenclaw except that my name isn't Hermione Granger. My name is Michelle Harper and like I already mentioned, I'm a bookworm through and through. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I'm a completely asocial person or something. No, I've got friends. Okay, so maybe they're a bit book-obsessed, too. But who cares? We laugh; we have fun, in our own kind of way.

I smiled as I finished my potions essay, over thousand words,...I glanced at Stacy, who was seated next to me. Her black hair cascaded down her back in long wavy ringlets. People said that she would be very pretty if it weren't for her glasses and her braces. Her eyes were a dark brown, matching her dark hair perfectly. She was still working on the assignment, every few seconds her eyes would stray to the copy of potions through the ages.

Next to her dark complexion, I felt very pale. My hair was a brown/blonde colour and my eyes were blue, like so many others. Many people would describe me as plain looking. I knew I was nothing special to look at. I'm a bit chubby too and like most teenagers I'm not content with my looks. My breasts were a bit too large and my hips too wide,... Hey, nobody's perfect, right ? I have faults you know, I'm not a complete Mary sue, though I love reading a good one once in a while...whoops, we're straying of subject...sorry.

I was saying that I'm your average person with your average looks, faults and flaws. Even in character I'm not faultless, but then again, who is ?

This speech I'm giving you sounds a lot like a desperate author who's trying to make his readers understand that his/her character isn't a Mary sue. And I'm not going to contradict you because it certainly is just that.

Maybe because of this speech I'm indeed a Mary sue maybe I'm not. But if that's so, then sue me ! Read on your own risk.

I'm Michelle Harper, fourth year Ravenclaw and snobbish bookworm and this is MY story.

Hope to see you all next chapter were my story really starts.
