As I entered the 6th year of my schooling I felt like something was about to happen. We had a new teacher and I had passed my OWLS which meant I wouldn't be kicked out of Hogwarts for at least one more year. Plus I was finally getting pass my shyness, it had taken me 6 whole years to make some friends. I don't talk to people very often, I keep to myself, and I was afraid of doing far too many things to be interesting. But I was planning on doing something this year, something meaningful, something amazing, something…but what? I didn't have any ideas. I thought about trying out for quidditch, but then I remembered I was afraid of flying. Then I thought I could be the one to get all the house points by answering questions in class and showing my skills. But then I remembered I usually didn't know the right answer and my wand skills weren't as good as most. I would find something to do, but what? I don't know yet, I guess it will just have to find me.
I walked into the Great Hall and sat down at the Gryffindor Table. I didn't belong here, I wasn't brave, the sorting hat must have thought I was just a big joke for everyone to laugh at. I must be. I looked down the table. I could see Neville, Seamus, Harry, Ron, Hermonie, and the Twins, Fred and George. They were all great people but I never really talked to them but I enjoyed watching the twins, especially Fred. He was funny, cute, tall and popular with everyone. He could get basically any girl he wanted. He had talked to me once last year in Charms. He couldn't find his quill and asked to borrow mine. When he gave it back I placed it in my bag and I haven't used it again. I know, that sounds weird but he was so cute!
The first years were sorted and joined their own tables and the feast began. In the first few weeks of school I tried to talk to more people and learn more in class but I still hadn't found that single thing that was going to be important but I was looking. Our new teacher was a complete nightmare, Umbridge was her name. She didn't let us use magic and her form of detention was cruel. I had heard rumors of a group starting up. I secret club headed by the oh so famous Harry Potter and that he would teach us how to duel and fight. This what I needed. This is what ive been looking for. Yes, I would join and learn how to be brave. How to be important.
I headed down to the Hogs Head to go to the meeting of this. I got to the door of the Hog's Head and stopped. I was scared. I heard a lot of voices of people I've seen but never talked to. What was I going to give to this group? Nothing. "Heading in?" I heard his voice and it made my heart skip a beat. I turned to see him, and his brother following close behind but everything around him was blurry to me. All I saw was Fred. "Oh, yeah I defiantly am going in" I tried to muster a brave face, like I was going to go in and run the place until I dropped my bag and everything fell out. "Oh, great" I dropped my head so he couldn't see my blushing. I fell to my knees and quickly tried to gather my things. Fred bent down and started to help. He smiled kindly as he handed me my parchment and quills. "You're in my year right?" he asked as we stood up. "Yeah, been there the whole time" Fred laughed, "yeah sorry, I just haven't really noticed you before" "yeah, I know. I rather shy." "it's ok ,we are all friends here" He opened the door and let me in. He signed his name and I signed right after him. "come sit by me and my brother" he waved his hand towards a bench near the back. I smiled and sat next to him. I could feel him next to me. It was the moment I was waiting for. This is what I was waiting for. Harry started talking and my time had come.
