Chapter 2

On the train, exactly one hour and 13 minutes away from the station.

It is the end of my fifth year. Nothing happened. Well, nothing happened to the Ravenclaws anyways. A lot happened, just nothing to me. Fred and George Weasley left, in what else but spectacular fashion, slating themselves as my official idols. Harry Potter went gallivanting off to save the wizarding world, not a good idea, since he got his godfather killed in the process. His god father was apparently the convicted murderer Sirius Black. That kid has some serious problems.

I found a kitten, I named him Orion. He was so cute. An adorable little tabby, probably not older than two months. But, I feel asleep in the library one night, and instead of letting him in like I normally do, I never went to my room. So he probably found another owner who would brag about how cute he was to all her friends.

But I had high hopes for my sixth year. Perhaps Harry Potter would be too depressed to put our school in danger this year. Nah, never going to happen.

You might get the idea I'm not grateful to Harry for saving the world several times. It's just Professor Dumbledore always acts like it's a huge deal when he comes back. Four times we had been asked to not question him. We know the drill by now. Harry saves the world. Harry sulks. Harry gets locked up in his relatives' house. Harry yells at friends. Harry does something stupid during the year. Harry fights with friends. He saves the world, and everyone thinks he's great again. Can we say never ending cycle?

You might wonder how I know all of this. Well being invisible, or nearly, I hear a lot of private conversations. Did you know Lavender Brown was worried about skipping her period? Well she was, until she realized she still had another week before she should be worried. Can we say ditz?

And Hermione Granger liked Seamus…Seamus…. Oh what is his last name? No bother, she didn't get him, and Ginny also liked him. But he developed this crush on a girl but he wouldn't tell who it was.

My plans for this summer:

1) Get a new look (not going to happen)

2) Learn to love the spotlight (REALLY not going to happen)

3) Stop hating Harry Potter because he can handle the spotlight (no way in hell)

4) Not wish I was my sister. (If this happens, shoot me, I'm obviously insane.)

Before boarding the train, exactly 6 hours and 49 minutes before reaching the school.

My sister is dead. Killed by Voldemort. How was she supposed to know the rat was a human? We got her body back, and are very glad for that. She may not have had a proper death, but we can give her a proper burial.

I said I'd speak at the funeral, in two days. I'm going back home for it, but I never want to see my home again. It's too hard. My mom know expects me to be exactly like Emily, but that won't happen. It can't. I'm not as pretty nor as outgoing. I can't fill her shoes in the volunteer projects Mom does. I can't be Emily.

I can't live like this

A/N: So…please review. Yes, I did lose a sister, she was killed in a car accident two years ago. The pressure Mandy will feel will be my own. Get used to it.
