It is said that at the magical school of Hogwarts, anything is possible. A witch named Nora Devino challenged this theory. Nora spent most of her time on her schoolwork, but on those lonely nights when there is nothing to do but stare at the plain dorm room ceiling, she had to find something to think about. All of the news was about this Harry Potter. He happened to be in her grade, but she had never really gotten to know him. All she knew him by was the lightening-bolt shaped scar on his forehead. The way she challenged this theory was the fact that in the next few weeks she did all that she could to get the wizard's attention, but by the end of two weeks of complete staring, flirting and at times drooling, he still didn't even know her name. Nora concluded that not "nearly anything" is possible at Hogwarts if she couldn't get one of the biggest losers in Gryffindor to even look at her. In Ms. Devino's defense, it was true that it made the project much more difficult considering she was in Hufflepuff. Getting to know a Gryffindor was very difficult if you yourself are not one. Atleast she wasn't in Slytherin, which was definitely an advantage.
As Nora Devino sat alone in her dorm room, pretty much everyone else had gone to Hogsmeade, she pulled out her school schedule. Her parents didn't believe in the concept of letting your children go out by themselves with few teachers watching. Because of this and many other theories her parents had, Nora was a huge outcast in Hufflepuff. She would watch the other girls laugh and giggle as groups of boys strutted by, as they opened huge packages containing the latest dress robes from London, as they passed the notes in class which held the gossip related to the upcoming dance. But as much as Nora wanted to be in this group of people, the people who had fun, she had learned that yes, some things were impossible, even at Hogwarts.
Nora put a heart around all of the classes she had with Harry, put a square around all of the ones she had with Ginny Weasley, and circled all of the ones she had with both of them. Nora had noticed that Harry and Ginny had been getting very close lately. Nora would deal with this. Of course, she only had four more weeks of school to capture Harry's heart.
The next day during her Potions class, Nora made the move of sitting two seats away from Harry. He didn't seem to notice, but that was okay.
"Okay everybody. Today we are going to do something different in Potions class," Snape said in his usual monotonous, but still terrifying voice. "We are going to attempt to a Polyjuice Potion, as many of you have already tried on your own." Snape casted Harry an evil glare, but then continued. "However, in this class we are going to mix it up a little bit. You see, as Hogwarts students you are going to make a Polyjuice Potion that lasts a week, as opposed to an hour. Here are some ingredients. Begin." Every student turned heads and looked at every other student for the answer. Hermione Granger stepped to the head of the class and picked up different measurements of all of the ingredients and while walking back to her seat stared uncomfortably at the blank faces of the students around her, now noticing the fact that no one else had picked up the required materials.
