Alright. *Tugs at her hair* This being my first fic and all, don't quote
me. Also, just for some useless information that will do nothing but take
up brain space. *breathes deeply* I do. NOT own Harry Potter. But I DO own
Venus Parsoin! *Dances*
* * *
Venus Parsoin was queer, to say the least. She was about to enrol at Hogwarts, as a 5th year, and she felt worse than ever. 'What if I give a bad first impression?' Was only one of the many worries running through her head. Home schooling her whole life was one thing, but going to Hogwarts for her 6th and 7th year witchcraft schooling was too much. As she walked into the Hall, the first night there, she felt all eyes upon her. She was the odd one out. She heard Dumbledore introduce her. 'Not that I need introducing.' She thought. 'Nobody will ever pay attention to me anyway.' What she did not know, though, was that they were not staring at her because she was queer. They were staring at her, because, as most people could tell, she was stunningly attractive. Her hair was light brown, with two blonde streaks hanging over her face. Her body was slender, and her complexion was smooth. She walked up to the stool at the front. She was to be sorted with the 1st years. She nervously sat on the stool, and felt the Sorting Hat being placed on her head. The tiny voice whispered into her ear. "Mm. you must be new. you look a bit old to be a first year. Well, I won't wait for an explanation."
Venus's jaw quivered slightly.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Venus jumped up, her face glowing. Her eyes sparkled as she walked towards the Gryffindor table. Hermione greeted her immediately.
"Hello, Venus. I'm Hermione Granger. I'm Head Girl. I'm glad to see that you'll be with us this -"
"Oh, stop with the formalities, 'Mione. Just tell her we love her."
Venus turned to the unknown voice. "I'm sorry. Who are you?"
"Oh, I'm Ron. Ron Weasley. I'm a 7th year, but I'm not Head Boy."
Venus nodded politely. "Who is then?" Ron grunted. "Draco Malfoy."

The next few days passed slowly. Everywhere she turned, people seemed to tease her.
"What's with the name? Do your parents on one of those muggle places, a Planetasium or whatever it's called?" Pansy Parkinson taunted during potions. "Oi! Yoohoo? Lil' Miss Planet? Are you there? Or are you too busy orbiting the sun?"
"Planetarium." Venus muttered under her breath.
"Excuse me? What was that?"
"It's called a planetarium." Venus said again, louder this time.
"O, so your parents DO own one?" Pansy shrieked, smirking and laughing with her fellow Slytherins.
The only people that did not tease her were her Gryffindor friends.
"Don't worry 'bout it Vi." Ron said, trying to comfort her. "They'll get over it."
Hermione nodded. "They're just annoyed because their parents didn't give them an exotic name like yours."
'Yes,' Venus thought to herself. 'That's what my name is. Exotic'
