Chapter Two
I walked down the road slowly looking into the windows of the shops of Hogsmeade. Christmas was growing closer, I wasn't expecting any gifts. I had no friends and my parents didn't care for me much. They hardly noticed when I was home and wasn't. I stayed at school during breaks, even though I didn't have anyone to hang out with. I like to be around people. I would never tell him, but I envied James more than anyone. I wanted to be like him, have friends that I can trust, a girlfriend that is so beautiful and that loves me more than anything and parents that care about me.
I turned and saw it, saw the perfect thing for her. It was almost like it was calling me. Telling me to look and telling me that I had to get it for her. Jennifer would love it, I could just picture her face lighting up when she saw it. I wanted to get it, to get it for her no matter what. I didn't care how much it cost, I would have spent every knut I had to give her that. To see her and hear her say my name again. It sat there and I knew it was perfect for her. The elegant diamond was shaped as a heart and the platinum chain was so delicate. It was almost glowing with love, it looked as if it was giving off its own light.
I walked into the store, and hurried to the saleswoman. "How much is that necklace in the window?" I asked and she looked at me and almost laughed and turned away without answering. I was offended and I asked again but this time a little more forcefully "how much is that necklace in the window?" She looked at me again "30 gallons" she said simply. I reached into my pocket and pulled out everything I had. I counted out 30 gallons, my family was quiet wealthy and I usually had enough money to get me by. I looked down at my money, if I bought the necklace he would only have 12 knuts left.
I thought about it and I finally decided that she was worth it, she was worth anything. I gave her the money, and she handed me a bag with the necklace in it. I pulled it out and looked at it, I knew she would love it but I wasn't sure how I could give it to her. Where ever she was James was not far behind. I need to find a way to give her this, without James finding out. The question was, how? I walked into the Three Broomsticks and bought a butterbeer with the rest of my money. As I sipped on it I caught sight of James, Jennifer, Sirius and his girlfriend, Jessica. I watched as Jennifer smiled at James and he smiled back. Oh! I hated James, I hated the way Jennifer was so into him. I wanted her to look at me like that, I wanted to be with her, I loved her.
