Author: I do not own anything except the plot and even some of that (in later chapters) was from J.K.ROWLING
Frank stared miserably up at the ceiling. This was going to be a bad year-he could tell…he always could. Though most people would say that that was crazy but if they knew the signs then they would agree. Alice, the most beautiful, smart, funny, and basically perfect girl in school was engaged. Now here's the catch (wait for it) Frank was in love with her. Had been since he had first set eyes on her way, way back in his first year. It was a crazy love and he knew it. There was no way she would ever like him back. First of all: she was popular and absolutely gorgeous. He was a loser no one knew existed with knobby knees and scrawny legs. Frank had nothing to loose however so he kept dreaming that one day she would fall for him.
And now she was engaged. Every dream he had had about her came crashing down on him. It was going to be a very bad year.
He had only found this out two hours before he had to leave to go to school. A start like that could NOT be a good sign.
Alice stared miserably up at the ceiling. This was going to be a bad year-she could tell…she always could. However the signs for this year going to be a bad one anyone could figure out: that idiot Micheal Legume had proposed to her. She had (of course) said yes-but…well he's an idiot. He doesn't think of anything except himself and it was pretty clear all he wanted to marry her for was her looks. He liked having an attractive wife he could parade around and show off to other guys.
Alice sighed. She was a Perywink and as a Perrywink it was her job to uphold the family honour. Basically those responsibilities included being gorgeous ( and if she wasn't-which (thank god!) she was- she would be ignored and forgotten about and-like her sister: Carol), becoming the most popular girl in school (check!), marrying a rich, and equally gorgeous husband and making gorgeous babies who were doomed to the same duties.
Most of her family were proud to uphold these duties but Alice was different. However she had never met anyone unpopular because she was gorgeous. Any unpopular person was intimidated by her so what was a girl to do? What more in her life was there for her to make her parents happy?
The popular life may have not been, what you would call, her cup of tea but at least once she was married there would be a lot less going out, staying up late, partying, getting drunk and endless: flirting, makeup and shopping. You see: to tell the truth Alice anti-social. She preferred to stay at home, (or in her room), she got abnormal amounts of pleasure out of high grades (something no one in her family had ever thought about-with all the money why would you need good grades), -to summarize Alice liked the quiet life. That was a first for her family and since they were the only people in her life she basically pretended to be everyting they wanted in a daughter.
The only person that had ever really understood her was her nanny. Nans as she called her. While her parents were out partying and being the tennagers that they were ( at heart of course- in real life they were both 32) Nans had raised her. In the whole world Nans was perhaps the only one who truly understood her. Sadly Alice spent almost all of her year away from though they of course kept in contact by owl.
Mr. and Mrs. Perrywink had a fit about about getting her an owl because in their opinion it was simply not proper (like partying, drinking, and grind dancing at the age of 32 wasn't!) bu tin the end they gave in when at a pet should the extremely pretty women told them that EVERYONE had one which meant that if they didn't give one to Alice she wouldn't be trendy so they had no choice.
Neville, as she had named it (one of her favourite names) was the only true friend she had at Hogwarts.
So now here she was waiting to go to Hogwarts and pretend she was the perfect Perrywink. She hardly remembered who she truly was: her whole life to this point had been an act.
" Alice DARLING! You must leave now to get to school!"
Alice sighed miserably before heading downstairs with all her luggage.
"Give dear Micheal a nice wet kissy kiss for me darling." Her mother said loudly without looking up from her make up.
" Yes mother." Alice replying wearily. Then she turned her back to the house and walked out the door without looking back.
