Granger

My life is difficult to explain. I'm nothing extraordinary. Everyone thinks I'm rather smart, but in fact, the reason I make half-decent grades is because I bother to listen and read the required material. I'm no smarter than the average witch. I'm not overly brave, especially beautiful, or quite charming. I'm terrible at sports and most other physical activities. Actually, I'm the oppressive know-it-all prude.

My home life is oddly normal. My parents are dentists, for goodness' sake. It's an honorable profession, but not that exciting. I'm not extremely close to them either. I love them dearly, but I can't seem to get really close to them. Ron has the best family in the world. I'm truly closer to his parents than my own. And poor Harry, he's got to deal with those dreadful Dursleys. I can't understand why they're so cruel to him. And Ron thinks that pile of gold in Gringott's makes up for it.

Why I picked boys for my two best friends, I'll never know. I know they saved me and all, but honestly! They're great--don't think that they're not—but they don't identify with girls. They don't get it. Ginny has been the greatest relief in a long time. She definitely appreciates my situation. The girl grew up with six brothers. She should be nominated for saint-hood.

I'm rambling. It's an annoying habit, but it's my way of dodging what I want to say.

I'm scared.

I am utterly petrified that I will lose someone in this war. If any of the Weasleys . . . I don't know what I'd . . . especially Ron . . . I couldn't bear to . . . And Harry . . . poor Harry . . . he's been through more than most people could ever imagine. I nearly cry when I think of what he has to go through. He doesn't have it in him to be a murderer. And he knows he can't just die and leave this world to fend for itself. And he's so noble about it. I hate that I can't take the load from him. All I really know and believe is . . .

When he goes to battle, I'll be there as far as fate will allow.


Blech! That was terrible! I wish I could have done this better. I have such a clear image in my head what this is supposed to portray and it sort of flopped. Oh well, hope you like it a little bit…
