A/N: Hey guys! I'm back! I'm guessing that I'll probably only update on weekends, at least until I get my laptop back. But good news about the laptop: it was the motherboard that was faulty, so all of my files are still on the untouched hard drive and I don't have to rewrite everything! Yay! This is a day late because of having to clamor for time on the family computer. Yes, the big ol' honking desktop with the monitor that makes everything overly huge. Xx;

Enough of my blab. Here's the next chapter. Try to guess who it is. It's blatantly obvious by the fourth word, so if you don't get it, you deserve to eat flobberworm for dinner.

Disclaimer: JKR owns the Potterverse. I own a pair of purple socks.

I love the library. So peaceful and quiet with all the nooks and crannies one can take refuge in. Here, I can hide.

It's a wonderful place, really. So many things to learn that you're constantly busy. The mind doesn't have time to think about other, more superfluous things. At times, I feel numb, empty, alone. But those feelings cancel out the others, the ones I can't understand.

I'm not the shallow, imperceptive bimbo the typical stereotype of a female teenager portrays. I don't gossip and move from one crush to the next. That might come from being around males so much. They, too, hide their emotions and wear masks. I can see right through theirs. They don't realize mine exists.

Maybe the reason I don't like flying is because it's too unpredictable. The smallest change could affect everything. Nothing is constant, nothing is known beforehand. Everything is done by whim, on instinct. Two things I don't trust. No, I like being on earth, with two feet planted firmly in the grass. I like being grounded. But I don't like watching from the stands.

Maybe, just maybe, the reason I love books and learning and challenges so much is that they are something that I can understand. A hard spell can be mastered through practice, a passage memorized through repetition. So, if I'm the Brightest Witch My Age, why can't I find words for what I feel inside?

It's scary, not knowing what is going on within your mind, unable to decipher the twinges and rapid poundings of your own heart.

So, to those who believe I know everything, you are wrong. I may be able to explain the most complex potion, but I can't explain myself.

I'll answer reviews next chappie. Thanks for being so patient, and lets pray Jae doesn't kill me with the anticipation! Who do you guys want to see next? Chapter . . . 4 (4 already! Dang!) is in the works, but 5 is up for grabs!

Review please! Or don't, but then you also deserve flobberworm. :)
