(Beauty)

She had never really considered herself beautiful. Cute, maybe, but nothing more. She had too many freckles to count, and she was much too tall for any boys her age. She was in the awkward stage, where just about everything seemed to be wrong with her.

She ignored Michael, all the times he told her how beautiful she was- he was her boyfriend, of course he'd say that- and Hermione, when she told her how jealous she was of her straight hair.

Beauty got you places in the world, and sometimes that would be enough- to make yourself loved, and safe, from all those so many dangers.

(Until, at least, Ginny learned the Bat-Bogey curse, and she saw that power was pretty helpful too.)


Totally revamping this story. Hopefully, it will actually be finished this time around xD
