Broken Heart

Chapter 1: Unwanted

Annabelle Enders was not a classic beauty. Her nose was slightly crooked and her mouth was just barely off center. She was not ugly; however she was often left as the subject of ridicule. Although, it was not merely her looks that caused her peers to ostracize her, for although she was different looking she still had striking blue eyes. Her hair was also very pretty; she had long black hair parted at the side with long side-swept bangs. However besides her nose and mouth, it was her low confidence that added to her unpopularity.

Annabelle had never felt that she was wanted, for her mother was less than kind to her. Annabelle's older sister, Patricia, was just the kind of daughter Dina Enders had always wished for. She was a Barbie. With bleached blonde hair, orangey tanned skin, and perfectly symmetrical facial features she was almost identical to her mother. The part of Patricia's appearance that was less not satisfactory with her mother was her breast size. However that was only a minor problem, for in two weeks Dina's plastic surgeon would be giving 19 year old Patricia breast implants. Unlike Annabelle, Patricia was perfectly welcome to being as artificial as their mother wanted them to be. Although Patricia's physical perfection and obedience to her mother were only the tip of the hat as to why Annabelle's older sister was the favorite, for Annabelle was a witch and like her mother Patricia was not.

Because of how unwelcome Annabelle was at home, she had become subdued with being ostracized. Therefore when anyone would make fun of any aspect of her, Annabelle would just take the insult and her self esteem would lower even further.

During her first year at Hogwarts, a boy made fun of her unsymmetrical features. When Annabelle did not even try to defend herself as the boy and his friends laughed, the ridicule persisted and just snowballed to the point that Annabelle did not have a single friend, and spent all of her time to herself.

Annabelle had turned seventeen four weeks ago, but she had not used magic once since her birthday, merely for the reason that her mother would disown her. But that would all change in a matter of hours, when Annabelle would be going back to Hogwarts for her seventh and final year of schooling.

It was seven in the morning and Annabelle had nothing to do, for she had packed for school weeks ago. Even though her peers at Hogwarts were not all that welcoming towards her, the atmosphere at Hogwarts was still much more welcoming than life with her mother, for at least her professors were sympathetic towards her.

For two and a half hours, Annabelle sat in her room, thinking. The thought that consumed her mind was the something she wondered about very often. Annabelle did not understand why she was sorted into the Gryffindor house and not Hufflepuff. She was anything but the definition of brave; she was closer to Slytherin than Gryffindor.

When she looked at the clock in her room, Annabelle realized that she better go catch the bus to King's Cross if she wanted to actually be on time to make the train or she would be stuck in London.

"Our final year," Sirius said sadly to James. "I can't believe it's almost over."

"I know," James was looking down at his Head Boy badge began to smirk. "We better go out with a bang. With this little thing, I bet I can get away with just about anything."

"What was Dumbledore thinking when he gave you that badge? I was positive it would be good old Moony."

"I wonder who they picked for Head girl…I mean you will be sharing a private common room with her," Sirius smiled slyly at his best friend.

"I'd put my money on either Theresa Riviera or Lily Evans," James thoroughly hoped the Head Girl was the latter of the two.

"If it is Lily, she will shoot herself."

"Thanks for that cheery thought Padfoot."

"No problem, Buddy," Sirius checked the clock and noticed that it was 10:45. They had fifteen minutes until the train left. "Well I guess it's time to go."

The boys gathered their trunks and their owls and apparated to platform 9 ¾ after saying goodbye to James's grandparents. The platform was filled with parents hugging their children and saying their goodbyes.

James and Sirius entered the train, appreciating the fact that James's grandmother was not squeezing the living daylights out of each of them.

Sirius headed for the Marauders' usual compartment, however James started towards the front of the train to report for his Head duties.

James entered the Head's compartment and saw that the Head Girl had already arrived. A big smile spread across his face when he saw Lily sitting alone in the compartment reading the Daily Prophet. She looked up and was dumbstruck, "James!"

"Lily!" James imitated her shocked tone of voice.

"You aren't….you can't be….no!" Lily stood up to examine his badge.

"You better believe it," James said happily and put his arm around Lily and forcefully pulled her back down with his has he sat.

"Get off me!" Lily pulled away. "I don't understand why Dumbledore would pick you of all people!"

"Well I am obviously he thought that you and I make a great pare. Oh what fun we are going to have in our private common room."

"SHIT! I completely forgot about that," Lily started to feel nauseous. "This is going to be my last year at Hogwarts and I do NOT want to spend it with you."

"Oh Lily, Lily, Lily. Stop pretending you don't have a thing for me."

Lily merely glared at him.

The train began to move and Lily finally spoke, "I guess we should go report to the prefects."

Lily and James then go up and moved to the prefect's compartment. Lily explained all the roles of the prefects as James just stood their and occasionally messed up his hair.

"Well I suppose that is all," Lily said. "Now as I'm sure you all know is the time for you to patrol the rest of the train, and if there is any serious problems you can report to one of us."

"And don't forget to respect my authority," James said with a smile. "I will not permit any rule breaking."

All of the prefects laughed at James's comment, yet Lily merely gave him the famous Lily Evens death glare.

Remus and Peter were already in the compartment when Sirius arrived. It felt odd to all of them without James in their compartment with them, however they managed just fine. Sirius kept the group laughing with all of his jokes.

Shortly after the train began to move, the door to their compartment slid open. Annabelle entered their compartment and sat down in the corner away from the boys.

Sirius looked at her and laughed, "What do you think you are doing in here?"

Annabelle looked up and said simply, "No one would let me sit in their compartment so far."

"And what makes you think we will be any different?" Sirius said cruelly.

"I didn't, I suppose," Annabelle started to get up to leave.

"Sirius, just let her stay," Remus felt bad for the poor girl. However he still was not all that fond of her company, she was just weird.

"Thanks," Annabelle showed a small smile towards Remus, she felt a small pang of hope that maybe she would make one friend in her final year at Hogwarts. However that small piece of hope was quickly shot down.

"No. Out," Sirius glared that Annabelle as she walked back out of the compartment.

"That's right, ugly!" shouted Peter just before Annabelle slid the door shut.

Annabelle continued trying different compartments, but she gave up by the tenth compartment she was kicked out of and just sat in the hallway. At that point she thought to herself, Why am I so unwanted?
