l Chapter One – Topic of Her Displeasure l
It was the night of the winter ball, but surprisingly, that didn't seem to in the field of concern or interest with the Hogwarts students. Oh no, the whole school populace practically shunned their studying time and spent the afternoon gossiping in regards to Ronald Weasley and how he would be accomponying Ravenclaw, Madison Larurent, to the winter ball.
And why you may ask is this the talk of great significance? Because, why would a proclaimed goddess like Madison, with near-veela looks, gorgeous green eyes, flowy, chestnut-colored hair, that's always so supernaturally flawless. . agree to go to the ball with Ronald Weasley? Apparently, that is why everyone was discussing it. They hadn't a single clue.
" Can you believe Ron managed to snag a catch like Madison Laurent? " Dean Thomas said to Harry with every sign of disbelief brimming in his eyes. " What do you think he did? "
In response, Harry simply shrugged. " Er. . does it matter? " Harry hesitated as he poured pumpkin juice into his drinking goblet.
" Of course it does! " Dean said almost impatiently. " It could help us average looking guys get a date to the dance with someone like. . Madison Laurent. " He said, uttering her name in a dream-like manner.
Some Gryffindors, such as Harry, Dean, Seamus, and Ginny, seemed to have their eyes glued onto the Ravenclaw table. With no doubt, the Ravenclaws caught the attention of the other houses as well.
As soon as a section of the Ravenclaw burst out in laughter, many heads, who weren't already looking at the Ravenclaw table (which was not a lot), turned to see what all the hilarity was about, but it was only Madison Laurent and her posse. The posse consisted of Cho Chang, Mandy Brocklehurst, Marietta Edgecome, a few other Ravenclaws who were musing Madison's humorous remarks, and Ronald Weasley, who was neighboring her.
Hermione's eyes narrowed from behind the book she was reading.
" I don't see what the big deal is. " She said, referring to Madison and Ron. She set her book down, and everyone knew that it was big deal if Hermione ever set her book down and paid attention to something else, especially if that ' something else ' was Ron. Her eyebrows knit together as she joined along with the ' staring '.
" Honestly, Madison is the most atrocious human being I have ever laid my eyes on. " Hermione said snootily.
" Looks--like--someone's--jealous." Seamus coughed after every single word. Everyone, but Hermione laughed.
" Me? Jealous? " Hermione exclaimed in horror. " Why would I be jealous of Madison Laurent? All she does is pick on first years. It's not like she wasn't one before. Ron is making a big mistake. " She snapped. Seamus replied by rolling his eyes.
" Oh please Hermione. " Seamus set down his drinking goblet heavily, and with that a few droplets of pumpkin juice discharged. " Everyone knows you like Ron. " Seamus said, drawing Ron's name out slowly.
Hermione stood up almost instantly at Seamus's remark, and then her eyes narrowed again.
" You know what? Think what you want! " And with that, stormed out of the Great Hall.
Hermione sighed as soon as she set foot on the base of the stairs. ' Seamus is right ' how she hated to admit this, but Seamus was right.
Hermione was jealous. She was jealous of Madison Laurent. Jealous because Madison's hair was always so straight and nice, something Hermione could never achieve unless taken into action with magic. Jealous because practically every single guy in Hogwarts liked Madison and not her. Jealous because she wasn't as pretty as Madison. Jealous because Madison had pearly, not to mention straight teeth and a gorgeous smile. Jealous because Madison was so perfect that it was almost ridiculous. And to top it off. . she was jealous because Madison had Ron.
