"She's such a know-it-all," complained Ron. "Doesn't she see that she's got no friends?"
I shoved past him, tears already starting to trickle down my face.
I hunched on the toilet in the stall I had barricaded myself in. My face was a mess, streaked with tears from hours of sobbing. I couldn't believe I'd been such a know-it-all! No wonder I had no friends. I just wanted to fit in for once. I'd thought I'd be behind since I was a Muggle-born, so I'd studied a lot, in a stupid plan to fit in, but all I'd done was make everybody hate me. Out of nowhere, a song came to me:
Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on
Just try your best, try everything you can
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away
It just takes some time
Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be all right, all right
I dried my tears. I was being stupid. Just because the first few days hadn't turned out well didn't mean anything. Everything would be OK.
Suddenly, something smashed open the bathroom door. From under the stall door, I caught a glimpse of large, hairy, trunk like legs. I screamed.
"Hermione!"
