Seasons of a Loser Queen

Author's Notes: I am writing about Eloise Midgen because not everyone writes about her. This idea sort of popped into my head when I was watching the movie She's All That the other day, and my muse just went crazy from there. It is set during Goblet of Fire. This is the first time that I have ever written about Eloise Midgen, so I apologize if she is out of character. I'm just going off of how I think she might have looked/acted. I hope you guys enjoy the story and please remember to read and review. I love hearing what you guys think of my stories. Oh, and this is not going to be a one shot. I can't say how long that it is going to be for sure, but it definitely won't be a one-shot.

Chapter One:

Eloise stared aimlessly out the window of her compartment. Once again, she was on her way back to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. And, of course, she was sitting alone. But that was nothing new. Eloise didn't have any friends. She was a loner. A nobody; a complete and utter loser. No one ever spoke to her. Unless they wanted to make fun of her, or ask for her help on homework. Then, they pretended to be her best friend.

She sighed. It wasn't her fault that she hadn't been blessed with good looks. Genetics was to blame for that one. Both of her parents were really nothing to look at. In fact, they were downright hideous. People were afraid to approach them, for fear that they might contract some sort of deadly disease.

Not that her parents had a disease, mind you. They just didn't come across to other people as the approachable type.

Suddenly, Eloise heard the door to her compartment open. Focusing her hazel eyes on the door, Eloise felt herself start to tremble at the sight of the people who walked in. Three Slytherin girls were now looking at Eloise with malevolent smiles. Eloise recognized all three of them. Daphne and Astoria Greengrass flanked Pansy Parkinson, who was in the middle.

This can't be good, Eloise thought to herself.

"Look what we have here, girls," said Pansy in a drawl.

"It's gross," whined Astoria, crinkling her button nose in disgust.

As if crinkling her nose makes her look any better, thought Eloise to herself.

"Make it leave," Daphne cried. "It's taking up valuable space."

Eloise's tawny eyebrows raised.

So, I am an "IT" now, huh?

Of course, all of these thoughts had to remain in her head. She wasn't brave enough to say these things out loud. Eloise did not possess much bravery. She usually chose to avoid situations such as these rather than put herself in danger. Which was why she was sorted into Hufflepuff rather than Gryffindor. Rather than speak her mind, Eloise chose to remain silent.

"What the hell are you raising your eyebrows at us for, crater face?" sneered Pansy

.

Eloise opened her mouth to answer, but ended up babbling incoherently. This caused the three Slytherins to laugh. Pansy did a spirited impression of Eloise's muttering, which caused her lackeys to giggle.

"She can't even articulate a proper sentence," said Daphne, glaring at Eloise, scathingly.

"How pathetic," chimed Astoria.

"Get out of here loser," snarled Pansy.

Eloise felt herself being forcibly shoved by the aforementioned girl into the outside corridor. Her backside hit the ground hard. Eloise knew later on that it would be bruised.

She made to get up, but was knocked to the floor again. Pansy had tossed Eloise's carry-on out into the corridor as well.

Getting over the shock, Eloise thought about trying to find a Prefect, but thought better of it. For one, she doubted that anyone would care that she had been so poorly treated. She wasn't exactly popular. Therefore, her mistreatment would probably be shoved under the rug.

Secondly, she was afraid of the repercussions that would follow if she tattled. Pansy, Daphne, and Astoria had a reputation of being quite mean. Eloise was worried that their behavior towards her could only get worse if she told on them. And that was something that Eloise did not want to have to deal with.

But, the main reason why Eloise Midgen did not want to talk to the Hufflepuff Prefect was due to the identity of the Prefect.

Who was it, you ask?

Cedric Diggory.

Yes, Cedric Diggory. Golden boy of Hufflepuff. He was the coolest guy to perhaps grace the house of the badger. Not only was Cedric the Hufflepuff Prefect, Seeker, and Captain, but he was also extremely handsome as well. Every girl within the walls of Hogwarts Castle wanted to be his girlfriend. Even some of the boys pined after him, but they made their affections a little less well known.

Unfortunately, Cedric already had a girlfriend. Her name was Cho Chang. She was a year older than Eloise and in Ravenclaw. Cho was also very pretty with her satiny black hair that touched the middle of her back. She was the complete opposite of Eloise, who had frizzy blonde hair and bushy eyebrows. Not to mention the fact that Cho was popular, and Eloise was not. Which was why Eloise never imagined that Cedric would give her the time of day, even to talk about the Slytherins' bullying.

How very wrong she was.
