On the Superlicious Fantasticness of New Students
Chapter One: Samantha Ubeaty
Takes Place: Sorcerer's Stone
Summary: OH, heck no. Maria did NOT just see another Mary Sue enter Hogwarts.
Taking place during Harry's first year at Hogwarts, Maria fights the oncoming onslaught of Mary Sues from distorting the plot, taming Malfoy, claiming any character as their love puppet, and any of the other awful things they do.
Samantha's hands quivered anxiously as she waited for her name to be called during the Sorting. She was so excited! Finally, it was her turn to take place amongst the amazing people of Hogwarts, the one and only school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Not only this, but Harry Potter, the boy who lived, was supposed to be coming here as well! She grinned to herself and continued listening to the people whose names were being called.
"Granger, Hermione!" Professor McGonagall barked.
A small girl with untamed bushels of mousy brown hair and peculiar looking front teeth bounded up to take her place on the stool. The Sorting Hat was placed onto her head.
"GRYFFINDOR!" The hat burst out.
The girl, Hermione, grinned broadly and went to take her place with the table that was cheering. Some redheaded kid next to Samantha groaned. Samantha nearly did, too. After all, her whole family had been in Gryffindor, and she would have to suffer seeing that girl's horrible untamed hair every day. Nevertheless, she retained her correct posture, smiling slightly. She must make sure to be as pretty as possible, just in case Harry was somewhere nearby. She wanted to make a great first impression. She knew, just knew, that he was the one for her. Her sleek and shiny blonde hair fell around her mid-back. Her dazzling emerald green eyes could sparkle with just a thought. Her skin was so milky, creamily white. She was absolutely perfect for the rugged hero.
"Potter, Harry!" Professor McGonagall called.
The hall went quiet for a moment, and then ripples of whispers moved from one student to another. A boy, who was still somewhat short and had a messy mop of black hair, walked up to and then sat on the stool. The Sorting hat was deposited on his head. A few moments went by. Then…
"GRYFFINDOR!"
The whole of the Gryffindor table burst with cheers, while there were groans audible from other tables. The redheaded boy next to Samantha punched the air and whooped. For one heart-stopping moment, after Harry had sat down, she was sure he had looked her in the eyes. He had the same emerald green eyes as she did. She was now elated. She couldn't wait to sit next to him. He would turn to her, and their eyes would meet for the second time…
"Theris, Maria!" Professor McGonagall yelled, somewhat wearily.
Samantha felt someone push roughly past her. As she turned to tell the person off, she caught a glimpse of steely brown eyes. The owner of the eyes said, "Don't push your luck."
That was when Samantha knew that she hated that girl.
The girl had her hair cut to her chin in a bob, a completely unpractical cut. Her face was small, her features balanced. She perched on the stool and the hat was dropped on her. Quite a few minutes went by.
"RAVENCLAW!" The hat yelled.
Maria smiled to herself in a pleased sort of way, and went off to join the cheering table. Samantha smirked. At least she didn't have to worry about her being competition. Anyways, it was—
"Ubeaty, Samantha!"
Her heart fluttered as she ran gracefully to the stool. She gushed as she noticed the whole hall staring at her… except for Harry. He seemed to be in conversation with the bushy-haired girl named Hermione. Samantha felt the hat lowered on her head, and then glowered at the inside. Then she heard a tiny voice whispering in her ear…
"Ah, mighty vain, aren't we?" The voice said. Samantha jumped.
"How dare you?!" She whispered to it.
"Not very bright, either. You don't need to speak out loud, just think to me."
Which she did, with some very choice words.
"Ah, but you are bold. At least, when angered."
"Yes, exactly! I'm bold and brave and therefore I should be in Gryffindor."
"Oh, no no. I'm quite sure you should rather be in HUFFLEPUFF!" The hat exploded.
As the Hufflepuff table applauded, Samantha fumed silently to herself as the hat was taken off. Then she smiled, and focused her mind on walking gracefully to the Hufflepuff table. She glanced out of the corner of her eye at Harry, who was now talked to two redheaded twins. She scanned the rest of the hall, found no other suitable guys, and finally sat down at her table. She smiled to the rest of the Hufflepuffs, and spent the rest of the ceremony trying to catch Harry's eye.
Yes, it's the end of Chapter 1. Chapter 1 was basically to introduce to you the characters. Now, can you spot the Mary Sue?
