HPFC Triwizard Tournament Stage I - Genre : Hurt/Comfort
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Transfiguration Assignment #4
November 23, 1994
Someone asked me why I draw today. I thought and pondered on the question before I bravely answered, "I just do art because I'm ugly and there's nothing else for me to do." The girl looked shocked for a moment. Well, it's true. I do art. I'm ugly. I have nothing else to do. The girl then scampered away, once again leaving me to my own company. It's kind of sad that not one person really stayed as a friend of mine. Others just come to me when they're in need or when they have no one else to talk to themselves. The longest I had a friend was for about 2 weeks, and that was way back in my first year in Hogwarts.
It's a well known fact in Hogwarts that I'm ugly. I have boring ash blonde hair, poo-colored eyes, chubby cheeks and thin lips. I have flabby arms and fat legs, as well as wide feet. I don't have the best clothes nor the best robes. A wild group of freckles seemed to have thought that my face was a breeding place and pimples invaded my skin. I am ugly and not one denied it.
I do art because it's the only beautiful part of me. If it is a part of me. I draw beautiful pictures with my meaty fingers, coloring them with an array of colors and hues. Art is the only thing that does not scream 'ugly' to me. I get complimented with my art. It makes me feel less ugly somehow.
No one asked me to the Yule Ball today. Hell, no one even approached me when Professor McGonagall required every single person to have a partner. I asked myself to be excused and I cried myself until the bell rang. Depressing, right? Well, that's the life of an ugly girl to you.
