AUTHOR'S NOTE:Well this idea's been running through my head for quite some
time.It's a pretty,shall we say unusuall Quirrell fic because of the fact
that's it written from MY perspective.
Actually it's a character named Kylie Johanseen (not my real name,of
course)She doesn't always react the way that I would in her situation (if I
was in her situation I would do things
that couldin't be explained in a fanfic such as this),but in this story
she's a reflection of me.
Everything about her Quirrell infatuation is 100% me.The only difference is
her family and friend.I've basically poured all my emotions towards
Quirrell into Kylie Johanseen and here's
the result.
I slid the tape out of the slick cover and jammed it in the VCR.Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone. My favorite movie of all time and my best friend (well,ONLY friend)Tara had agreed to come over and watch it with me.
Maybe I should start from the beginning.My name's Kylie Johanseen.I'm fifteen,with hazel eyes (I usually refer to them as snotty barf green)and thick dark brown hair.Not that you give or damn,and not that it's relevant to all of this,but there you have it.I've got a stinging temper.I'm a zit-infested package of teenage rage and hormones but deep down I'm such a caring,sensitive person.
I glanced down at my watch,feeling my pesky temper flare up.She was eighteen minutes late. Eighteen freakin' minutes.I sighed and glanced out the front window,feeling my irritation growing like a tumor in my head.Tara was irresponsible and constantly late.But she was my only friend so I had no choice but to put up with her.
I walked into the kitchen and cracked open a can of Sprite.My mom walked in the kitchen carrying a basket of bathroom cleaning supplies.
"How many cans have you had today?"She asked.
"Twenty four."I said sarcastically.It was a well known fact that I was addicted to pop.
"Tara's at the door."She said before walking into the bathroom.
"It's about time!"I walked to the front door and pulled the door open.
"Did you get lost?"
She stepped inside,kicking off her sandals.
"I had to clean my room first."
"So we're watching Lord Of The Rings?"
"Harry Potter."
"Lord Of The Rings got better reviews."
I didn't know what to say to that.I led her to the couch and she plopped down and began pulling her long blond hair into a ponytail.I picked up the remote and settled on the couch.
"So what's the plot?"
"You'll see."
"I wish we could watch Lord Of The Rings...."
I gave her a little tap on the head.
"I don't have Lord Of The Rings.Who wants to sit through a three hour movie,anyway?"
"Me."
A LITTLE WHILE LATER..........
Sara gave me a funny look.
"What's up with your leg?"She laughed."You look like you're having a muscle spasm!"
I quickly stopped,silently scolding myself.Why the hell did I have to do that all the time? I knew damn well why.Quirrell.I had had a huge crush on him-cross that out,INFATUATION with him from the moment I laid eyes on him about a year ago.Which was,in fact,pretty much the main reason I was sitting here with my best friend watching it.Screw the rest of the movie.I wanted to see what her reaction to Quirrell would be.
I stared at her face,studying it carefully as she watched Quirrell talking to Harry in the Leaky Cauldron.Nothing.Dead and lifeless as usual.No sign of a blooming infatuation on her face. She was merely stuffing her face full of buttery popcorn.She gave me funny look and laughed.
"How come you're staring at me?"Her face fell."Dammit,do I have another zit?"She started to stand up. I quickly pushed her back down.
"No,you're fine.Nevermind."
"Kylie,don't mess with me,DO I have another zit?A big nasty one?Like right here?"
"No,I swear you're fine.Watch the movie."
She sat back and sighed.
Oh well.Maybe she just hadin't noticed him yet.
A WHILE LATER.......
I wish I was that iguana,I thought to myself as McGonagall stepped into Quirrell's classroom asking for Wood.To be held by Ian.How I wish I was that lucky little-
"WHOA!Who's the babe?!"I gave a startled jump as Sara nearly fell off the couch.My heart picked up speed.YES!I thought.It's about damn time-
"Is THAT Oliver Wood?!"
My heart sank.
"Huh?"
I glanced at the tv to see McGonagall introducing Harry to Wood.I should have known.
"Yeah."I muttered."That's him."
"Jeez!"She exclaimed."I wonder if he's available?"She turned to me wildly."Do you know who plays him?"
"Sean Biggerstaff."I muttered.
She jumped up.
"I'm gonna go put a search on him!"
I jumped up after her.
"What?You're leaving already?!"
She opened the front door and nearly fell out.
"Sorry,Ky.Maybe we can hang out Saturday.I'm have to see if I can find some pictures or stuff on him online."She gave a little wave and ran down the driveway,her long blond hair bouncing wildly behind her.
I sighed and quietly closed the front door.Oh well.At least I'd given her a crush.Just not what I had intended.
I sat back on the couch and began fast forwarding to the troll scene.
After about the tenth time I had pressed rewind to watch Quirrell faint,the phone rang. I ran to the kitchen and picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Kylie?"
"Sara?What's-"
"His name's Sean Biggerstaff!"She squealed."And he has his own fan page!"
"Great."I said,struggling to sound enthused.
"Want me to give you the adress?"
"No,that's alright.Sara,I need to ask you something.What do you think about.....about Quirrell?"
"Who?"
"Quirrell."I repeated,my voice embarrassingly shaky.
"In Harry Potter?The dude that was holding the iguana?With the purple turban?"
"Yeah.What do you think-"
She laughed."He creeps me out."
"What?!"
"He looks like a rat!Don't you think-"
"No,I don't think he looks like a rat,are you nuts?!"
"Ohhhh do you like him?"
"I didn't say that-"
"Ohhhhh Kylie has a crush on the ratman!"
"That's not the least bit funny,Sar-"
"Ratman!Ratman!Kylie's in looooove!"
I slammed the phone down.That was one time I wasin't going to take that shit.I put up with enough of it online,and I would be damned if I was going to take it from my best "friend."
I cracked open another Sprite and plopped back down on the couch to finish the movie.
I felt miserable.Why?Why did I have to be the only one with a crush on him?What was wrong with me?
Before I knew what was happening I gave startled shriek as the room went pitch black,the couch dissapeared under me and I began to fall endlessly.
I slid the tape out of the slick cover and jammed it in the VCR.Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone. My favorite movie of all time and my best friend (well,ONLY friend)Tara had agreed to come over and watch it with me.
