A/N: Well, this is my first Harry Potter fan fic that I've ever showed
anyone! Please don't be too harsh on me, it's just my first attempt.
I would appreciate it if you have any comments! Please leave reviews
for me! ^_^ Thanks!
"There he is!" I whipered to myself. I am Kelsey Cherrison and I am a first year student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I am also Harry Potters biggest fan. I am a Slytherin student. All the other Slytherins tell me that Harry Potter is just a big show off and that I shouldn't try to hang
around him as much as I do. But oh how wrong they are! Harry Potter is the best person in the
world!
It was late in the afternoon and I was hiding behind a bush outside. Harry Potter and his friends
Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger were taking a walk. I accidently tripped and rustled the leaves
of the bush. Oh no!, I thought. Did he see me?! I didn't want Harry Potter to see me, and luckily,
I don't think he did. He just looked behind him quickly and then continued to walk along with his
friends.
I sighed. Harry Potter is so wonderful. But I don't think that Harry even knows that I am a
student at Hogwarts. First of all, I am only a first year student, and second of all, I am a
Slytherin student. I don't think that he likes Slytherin students all that much. Especially not
that mean old Draco Malfoy and his dopey friends, Crabbe and Goyle. They're big and mean, so I
try to stay out of their way.
I strolled back into the castle. Harry Potter was no where to be found! I frowned. Oh well.
I would have to go do my homework instead of "Harry hunting", like my friends called it. I
frowned at the homework that Professor Snape had given us. He usually liked Slytherin students,
but not me. He hated me because he knew that I am Harry Potter's biggest fan and he really does
not like Harry Potter at all.
"Kelsey! There you are! Were you off Harry hunting again?" My bestfriend, Cyndi Craffton, called
out to me. I was sitting at a table in the Slytherin common room. Cyndi didn't like Harry. She
believed what that meanie Draco Malfoy said about Harry. But still, Cyndi was my bestfriend.
I gave her a small smile.
"Yeah. I have to do my homework now. I'm going to be up all night with this essay for Potions
class!" I groaned. Cyndi smiled. Professor Snape was her favorite teacher. Professor Snape wasn't
mean to Cyndi at all. Maybe it was because her dad was friends with him when they were students
at Hogwarts. I just shrugged it off.
"I've been finished with my essay for a long time! Want me to help you with yours?" Cyndi offered.
I gratefully accepted the offer. Without her help, I would have already failed Potions. The class
was hard enough by itself and being on Snape's bad side certainly did not help. We worked on my
essay for awhile and finished the rest of our homework. Soon it was time to go to sleep. We
walked sleepily into the girls' dormitory.
"Hey, look! It's that Potter lover! Your names Cassie, right?" a third year student sneered
at me. I backed away. She was almost four times bigger than me and looked like she would have no
problem beating me up. And I knew that no one else would try to help me. Well, maybe Cyndi would,
but Cyndi was even smaller than me and wouldn't be able to get the third year off of me. Why
would anyone else help me? They all hated me because I thought that Harry Potter was the best.
"Actually, I'm Kelsey. I-- um-- I've got to get to bed.. Tests tomorrow. You know how it is,
right?" I said, a hopeful tone in my voice. The girl laughed. Her tangled blonde hair fell over
her brown eyes. She looked really mean. She was about take a swing at me, but luckily for me,
one of her friends called her from another room.
"Hey, Amanda! Come here!"
The girl sneered at me again. "You're lucky." she snapped as she walked off.
I dropped down on my empty bed and sighed. What was wrong with thinking Harry Potter was cool?
Why does everyone hate me? It always made me wonder if the Sorting Hat hadn't put me in the wrong
house. I crawled under my covers and fell fast asleep. Hopefully tomorrow would be better.
