It had been such a tiny thing, the hunger for revenge. To scare the girls that had laughed at her. Such a petty little thing that ended up having her trapped at Hogwarts for an eternity.
She didn't even have good memories of Hogwarts. Why would she? All she'd gotten were laughs and scorns and average grades. And she was a Ravenclaw; average grades in Ravenclaw were as good as a P in any other House if you were lucky, or a D if you weren't.
In fact, in a few years she forgot what the rest of Hogwarts even looked like. The girl's bathroom on the second floor was the one familiar place and she left it less and less as time passed. There was no need for her to go elsewhere; somehow, the image of her sobbing here comforted her – and scaring the girls that wandered in was the tiny thrill she could still milk from her situation.
It was sad, but she had dug her grave with her vindictive little choice, and now she had to live with it.
