AN: Okay, here's the first chapter. I promise it's longer than the prologue, though not much. But don't worry, once I get into this the chaps will be much, much longer. Any helpful reviews might cause the chapters to get longer quicker! (Aren't I a cruel one?)
Lost
by Magee
I'm Lost
I'm looking for you,
Are you looking for me?
I know you're out there
Just don't know where, when...
You might be here, there, anywhere.
When you find me let me know,
Or I'll go right past you.
Cuz you know what the
Worst feeling in the world is?
When you spend your life
Looking for someone, something,
And you look back and
Realize you walked right
By it.
And you can't go back
Can't ever go back.
Cuz you're lost
Chapter 1
Why?
What good will it do? Its not like anyone will notice, let alone care. You'll never do anything, be anything...
Who will care even if you did do something? well, mum might. dad. brothers. but anyone else?
No.
Besides, even your family will think you just want attention. Its not like anyone besides your family has ever cared...worried...loved...
Who will miss me when I'm gone?
No one.
*tear*
How someone might describe me: self-confident, smart, athletic: the perfect prefect.
ha.
*sniff*
Just look at me now.
Here I am, wallowing in self-pity when my friends could probably use my help.
Me, help?
Friends, need?
ha.
*sniff*
*tear*

"Gin?" a concerned looking Hermione said.
"Huh?"
"You okay?"
"I'm fine. I'm going to bed." Ginny stood up from where she had been staring out the window at the late autumn sky.
"But, Ginny, you haven't ate yet."
"I'm not hungry."
"You sure you feel okay?"
"I'm fine Hermione. Goodnight."
Hermione waked back to where her two best friends sat playing chess.
"I'm worried."
"'Mione, NEWTS aren't till June, now stop it."
"Ron, it's your sister I'm worried about."
"What about her? She's top of her year, Chaser on the house team, and, though she is my sister, not too bad on the eyes, eh Harry?"
"Not bad at all, quite the contrary."
"Ron! Harry! This is serious."
"I am being serious, watch," Ron adopted a low, solemn voice, "*Harry, I just took your queen.*How's that for serious?"
"You insensitive prat!"
"Look, Hermione," Harry cut in, always the peace-keeper, "Maybe she's just tired. Or she doesn't feel well. Not everyone has to be perky all the time."
"Yeah, she probably just missed a question on her last quiz. I swear, she's worse than you when it comes to being a perfectionist."
"Well, if she doesn't seem better in a few days time, will you two please help me talk to her?"
"Sure Hermione, I don't like to see her unhappy either."
"Yeah, she's our friend too," Ron said. "Oh, by the way Harry, checkmate!"

AN: I know, 'tis short once more. But you can't be too mad, I did warn you. (see above AN) Anyhoo, please review, anything helpful is greatly appreciated. Here's some incentive: My first three reviewers get something special! Not quite sure what that will be as of yet; you'll probably get to name a character in this fic or something like that. Unless you just want cookies!
luv ya, magee
