I'm trying to make this story decent, but it's fairly difficult. I'm unable to eradicate the cringe. Sorry.
I would definitely gloat about being the creator of an awful fanfic if I had one. Very unfortunately, I don't own My Immortal.

Chapter 2
The next day, it was dreary yet again. I could see snow sparkling down from the sky, but as it reached the ground, it was met with moisture and dirt, reducing its beauty to brown slush.
I got out of bed, slightly hungry. I had a few sips of warm animal blood that I kept in bottles. I couldn't afford to diminish my strength, as I needed it to perform magic and do well in school—and defend myself, if a dangerous situation ever arises. Carelessness ended with harsh consequences in the wizarding world. Then I changed into a black dress and combat boots and threw my hair up into a bun.
My roommate, Willow, woke as well. After we got ready, she spoke up: "I saw you talking to Draco Malfoy yesterday." Willow smiled mischievously. She was one of the friends that had been waving to me the day before.
"I was," I agreed as we walked down to the Slytherin common room and out into the Great Hall.
"Do you like him?" she asked, turning her head to watch me.
"Nope!" I said defensively.
"Are you sure?" Willow asked, suddenly staring at something behind me. "It seems as though he likes you." With a wink, she walked away. I stared after her, confused.
"Ebony!" Draco's voice sounded out. I turned around and looked at him, then looked back to Willow's disappearing figure. Goddamnit Willow, I thought.
I sighed inconspicuously, then turned back to the blond. "Hi Draco," I said.
"I wanted to ask you something yesterday, but your friends interrupted," he began. "I'm pleased that your friend today understands my intentions, however."
"Oh, sorry. That was Willow, I'll say thanks to her later for you," I said, and decided that I would not say anything to Willow."What did you want to say?"
"Well, the Weird Sisters are having a concert in Hogsmeade next weekend, and my father purchased some tickets for me. Would you like to go with me?" Draco asked.
I beamed, surprised. "Of course! I'd be happy to accompany you, Draco."
The blond grinned at me. "A date it is."
