Chapter 11: Screamer
A/N: Thanks to ekopacadoopa, kick ass review GC!!! Anyway, this chapter is very important, it shows how Amy will be treated differently for being 'different', I've been anticipating to write this chapter, enjoy!
Amy woke up the next morning, smiling, knowing that for a couple moments she won't remember why she cried herself to sleep last night. Then she reached for her neck, feeling her Riot Girl necklace. Amy sighed heavily and proceeded to pick out her clothes.
She hated wearing the uniform robes, she almost never wore them at all. During her first year she got in trouble practically every day because she didn't wear those god-awful robes, thankfully the teachers had given up on nagging her. As she recalled her tiny protest against the robes she slipped on her west coast choppers shirt, bondage pants (her favorite black ones), and her chucks following her spikes and buttons, and of course leaving on her necklace.
As she made her way to the common room, she collided with a tiny first year named Rebecca.
"Oh I'm sor" Amy began but was quickly cut off by a frantic little voice.
"Don't b-be sorry, I-I wasn't looking, it's not your fault, here let me help you up." Rebecca stuttered as she reached for Amy's hand and helped her up.
"Umm…thanks." Said Amy as Rebecca nearly ran down the stairs.
When Amy got to the Common Room she spotted Chris and Sam waiting for her.
Chris laughed before he said, "Did you see that little first year? She acts as if she was being chased by a dementor!"
"Yeah," Amy began, "I bumped into her on the stairs and she was all freaked out."
"That's weird." Said Sam, "Come on, let's go and get breakfast, it's Saturday so we won't have classes!"
"That's always good." Amy declared.
As they made their way to the dining room, Amy got some very weird looks. People who were going to pass her by would turn the other way before they passed her. Anyone who she tried to talk to would always have an excuse like "Uh… I got to go feed my cat." Or, "Forgot something." And go running away.
When they entered the dining room, whispers started emerging immediately.
"What the fuck is going on?" asked Chris to a fellow Gryffindor.
"Amy's the new talk of the school."
"Why?" Amy asked quickly, "What do they know?"
"They know you whipped Alexis with your umm…things there." He said pointing to her spikes.
"WHAT!?!" Sam almost screamed.
"I didn't even hurt her!" Amy protested. She was starting to get really mad, on top of everything now the whole school was against her for being herself.
"That's not what she said." The boy replied, his name was Matthew, a third year. "But don't worry Amy, all the Gryffindors know that even if you did do it she was probably up your ass or something and you didn't mean anything to happen. Except maybe some first years but they'll come around."
Amy sat in shock. Up until now almost everyone was fine with her spikes and cuffs. "I'm leaving…" she muttered to Sam.
"Why?"
"Because," she began and suddenly raised her voice so that everyone could her " I AM NO LONGER ACCEPTED BY MY PIERS BECAUSE I LIGHTLY HIT A BITCH WHO HAD IT COMING, AND ON TOP OF THAT MY BOYFRIEND'S GONE!!! SO I WILL BE IN MY ROOM LAYING DOWN WONDERING WHY I WAS PUT IN A PLACE FULL OF CLOSED MINDED PREPS!!!" and with that she stormed out of the room.
She decided to walk along the forbidden forest, no one will think to find her there. She wanted to cry her eyes out, but she was beyond a point of tears. She just wanted to be leave. To get out of this place, to just whither away. Then she saw the opening to the forest.
It would have been much easier walking into that forest knowing that most likely she'd never come out if it weren't for Chris, Sam, and Eric. But she knew it was something she had to do.
As she made her way into the forest she recalled what she said in the dining room 'closed minded preps', that wasn't true, well not all true. Actually, the whole hitting Alexis thing wouldn't have bothered her much if Eric were there. If Eric were there, she'd know that eventually everything would be all right. But he wasn't, and now she was all alone.
As she looked back she could only vaguely see the school, she must have gotten pretty far. Then she realized she had been running. Running away from everything. It was then that she dropped to the floor and began to sob.
Life wasn't fair anymore, nothing was. Eric was gone because of some stupid grudge between their fathers, everyone hated her, life just wasn't fair.
"What are you doing here Amy?" Amy looked up shocked until she realized it was Hagrid
"Oh hi, Hagrid." Amy said weakly.
"What's wrong?" he asked, seeing the look on her face.
Amy burst into sobs and told her old friend everything. He comforted her and said, "Now that isn't any reason to be running away now is it?"
Amy shook her head.
"Now you best be getting along now, I'd escort you but Aragod told me there's an injured unicorn out there just go straight that way and you'll find yourself home." And off he went.
Amy looked at her clock it was 2:30 'wow time flys when your morbidly depressed' she thought to herself and headed back to the school.
When she got in the building, no doubt she got stares and whispers from a few people she just looked at them coldly and to them to fuck off. At first she headed toward the dormitory but decided to go to the owlery instead.
As she approached the Owlery she quickly noticed her white owl, Merry. She had named her after her favorite character in Lord of the Rings. Quickly she grabbed a piece of paper and a pen from her bag, and began to write:
Dear Eric,
Please come back soon, I need you really badly, I cant explain now but just come back. Please.
Love,
Amy
She rolled up the paper and gave it to Merry and told him to go find Eric. When Merry was out of her sight she took out her cd player (she had put a special charm on it so it would work at Hogwarts) and began to play 'Screamer' by Good Charlotte.
She walked up to her dormitory and slept till the next morning.
