My housemates were not the most open-minded people. They wanted everyone to conform to their mold, quiet, studious, perfect.

I would not bend to their will. To me, Nargles existed. It did not matter that no one else could see them, in fact, that comforted me. If no one could see them, hear them, touch them, they couldn't take them away.

Yes, I might be a little odd, but so were they. I am unique, and will not conform to their standards.

I have friends. None of them are from my own House, the house that was supposed to be my Hogwarts Family.

I have a boyfriend. He, too, was shunned. He was brought up to think a certain way, just like me.

Neither of us are perfect, but together we are happy.
