Moaning Myrtle's tale

I sighed; pushing my plate away I crossed my arms and leant my head on them. I still had half an hour left of lunch, half an hour with nothing to do and no one to talk to. I slid my head down so it faced the table, so no one would see the tears silently streaming down my face.

I yelped as one of my ponytails was yanked backwards, pulling me to my feet. Still holding my ponytail with a smirk on her face was Olive Hornby. I quickly pulled my hair out of her grasp just as she snatched my glasses of my face.

"Hey! Give them back!" I shouted, making a grab for them but Olive just moved them out of my reach.

"You know people might like you more if you got a better pair, in fact I'll help you with that" a with that she dropped them on the floor and stomped on them, breaking the lenses. Laughing she stalked off towards the Slytherin table.

I carefully picked up my glasses from the floor, tears building up in my eyes. I quickly repaired them and ran out of the great hall and into the nearby toilets.

I slowly pulled open the door, my eyes darting across the corridor to see who was still there. After a minute or two I quickly dashed out of the toilets and up to the history of magic classroom.

I slipped into my seat in the third row just as Olive walked in. She surveyed the room, her eyes narrowed as she spotted me and a grin appeared on her face. She slipped into the seat behind me, her eyes felt like they were burning into my back. Professor Binns floated through the blackboard and picked up the book on his desk.

"Today we will be learning about the goblin rebellions" He stated turning to a page in a book and began to read aloud from.

"Hey Myrtle, how are your glasses" Olive hissed behind me "Still as thick as you."

I stared at the black board, my eyes pricking with tears.

"Hey Moaning Myrtle how was you cry in the toilets? Maybe you should just live in their you spend so much time in their anyway, plus you be able to clean your glasses regularly so they won't end up looking like someone used them as toilet paper though then again it looks like someone used your face for that as well!" She whispered, doubling over with silent laughter.

I shoved my chair back and raced out of the room my hands over my eyes as tears started pouring down my face.

I pulled my legs up onto the toilet seat and rested my head on my knees. My eyes where itchy with dry tears, the floor around me covered in screwed up tissues.

The toilet door creaked open and someone walked in. Thinking Professor Binns had sent someone to find me I clamped my hand over my mouth to stifle the hiccups that where still coming out of my mouth.

A strange hissing noise came from outside my stall and then someone said "this time Hogwarts will become Slytherin's school and only pure bloods will be able to learn magic" an evil cackle followed this.

My eyes widened as I realised the person talking wasn't female it was male.

"This is the girl's bathroom not the boy's! Leave now!" I shouted over the stall door.

"Who's there?" The voice asked

"I said leave now!" I shouted back in reply

"And I said who's there?" The voice shouted and a pair of feet appeared at the gap between the stall door and the floor.

I stood up and flung the door open.

"This is the girl's bathroom so..." A giant pair of yellow glowing eyes stared down into mine from the sink. My heart stopped in my chest and my lungs couldn't seem to pull oxygen from the air. "...leave" and with that I fell to the floor.
