Harry Potter Alphabet
In which there is a character and a one-shot for each letter
Olive Hornby was at school with Moaning Myrtle before she was a ghost
O is for Olive Hornby
"Mrytle, Myrtle, Myrtle! Why does she always have to be the center of attention?" Olive ranted to herself.
This was the fifth time this semester that she was being sent after Myrtle. It wasn't her fault the girl was so sensitive about her glasses.
Okay, maybe it was her fault for always teasing her, but still, that didn't give Myrtle the right to keep running away.
Especially now with all those deaths going on in the school.
Maybe that was why the professors got so worried when they realized Myrtle was missing.
Olive stopped her mental rambling as she entered the girl's bathroom, it was where Myrtle usually ran to.
"Myrtle! Where are you?? Are you in here again, sulking, Myrtle? Professor Dippet asked me to look for you. We have to get back to class. They don't want anyone wandering the halls alone."
As she stopped then to wonder why they let her out by herself, her body kept moving and opened the last stall's door.
She screamed and screamed and screamed.
The teachers found her there later when they realized she hadn't come back.
She couldn't talk, she had screamed herself hoarse.
What had scared her so?
Why, Myrtle's frozen but unmistakably dead body.
And not too soon after she recovered from her fright, Myrtle cam back to visit.
Now isn't that nice?
She had a constant reminder of that scene, and of her guilty conscience because if she hadn't teased Myrtle, then Myrtle never would have died that day.
Of course, she didn't quite appreciate that reminder, so she appealed to the Ministry of Magic and they limited Myrtle to the Hogwarts grounds.
There she became known as Moaning Myrtle to all the students and lived in the very bathroom she died in.
Olive Hornby went on with her life after being freed of Myrtle, but she couldn't completely forget that day however much she tried to block it out.
It always came back to haunt her.
Note: thank you for writing so patiently. I am currently working on Katie Bell, Narcissa Malfoy, Regulus Black, and Quirinus Quirrel and I know I'm going out of order, but I'm just doing the ones that are the easiest for me right now.
Sorry if some of them seem a little short, I'm trying not to force anything.
