A few days passed uneventfully, but when the weekend came, I found myself bothering Albus for no reason.
"That doesn't go there." I said from over Albus' shoulder as he played Wizard Chess with Malfoy, only to distract him and make him lose focus and kill his chess piece.
"What is wrong with you?" Albus shouted, "Are you a girl or something?" I laughed.
"I am." I muttered so that no one could hear me.
"Go away, North." Albus said.
"But I want to see you fail at chess." I said.
"Shut up." Albus said. So, I left and wandered the building, only to get to the library. I looked around for fun books to read. They had nothing fun, but I found something interesting. It was a book about who cares what, but I still read it, albeit absentmindedly, but I still read it. I finished the book with a bit of drool coming out of my mouth and my hair a mess. I must have fallen asleep. I'm so bored.
Soon it was dinner time, time to bother Albus again. I think I might like him. Err, Did I just think that?! I slapped my own face to wake myself up more. I then bumped into Albus, tripped over his foot, and almost bashed my skull in the wall. Thankfully, Albus saved me from a rather horrible death. Why couldn't I pay attention?
"What's wrong with you, North?" Albus asked me as I shook in his arms.
"I almost died." I murmured, "How can I not be a little shaken?"
"What was that?" Albus asked, almost screaming in my ear.
"I'm sorry. I won't do it again." I said.
"Why do you seem so scared right now, North?" Malfoy asked, "Albus isn't scary."
"I... Err... I almost bashed my skull into the wall." I said.
"Oh..." Malfoy said, "Is that why Albus is holding you?" I frowned and Albus let go of me.
"I wasn't holding him!" Albus said, "I was saving him from accidentally killing himself."
"I'm not a guy..." I muttered, but as usual no one heard me. This time it was because Albus and Malfoy were fighting. The three of us got to the great hall and I couldn't stop staring at Albus. Some Slytherin girl, who I should have known, tapped on Albus' shoulder.
"Your secret admirer is watching you." she said, pointing over to me. I blushed and put my head down. This was terrible.
"North, what's the matter with you?" Kyle Avery said as he hit my back, which really hurt, but I wasn't going to show that I was weak.
"I'm an idiot." I said, "I shouldn't let what people say get to my head."
"Oh." Avery said, "Is it because you like Potter?" I looked at him like he had two heads.
"I do not like him." I said, "He just grabs my attention. We had the worst first impression and it's frustrating how everyone says that I like him. I do not like him! He's a surly git!"
"Then what about me, do you like me?" Avery asked. I slapped him across the face.
"Bloody hell, can you just shut up?!" I shouted, for everyone in the Great Hall to hear and everyone stared at me, "I'm a girl! G. I. R. L. I can like whoever I want." That surely got everyone's attention. The Headmaster came up to me.
"Ms. North," the headmaster said, "I'd like you to come with me." I frowned and stomped my feet as I followed him.
"I don't want to wear a skirt." I said.
"Well, unfortunately you're going to have to." he said, "We have to move your things into the Slytherin first year girls' room and get your new uniform. Now, tell me why you lied about being a boy?"
"I never said I was a boy." I said, "Everyone just assumed it. It's not my fault."
"We let you off the hook. You could have been expelled for this." the Headmaster said, "Next time you do anything wrong, we will expel you."
"Okay." I said. I went back to the common room to find all my things on a table. I quickly went up the girls' corridor and put my stuff on the only empty bed in the room. I then proceeded to put my stuff away.
"You really must not like it in the boys' room." a familiar voice said, it was the girl from lunch.
"No, I'm really a girl." I said.
