A.N. — Apparently, having a really bad case of acne is enough to warrant mention in three of the seven books. What a thing to be known for! Like Harry's fame, this notoriety is certainly unwanted.
96. Eloise Midgen
Eloise just wished to get through school anonymously, but her pimples were like beacons, drawing the attention of others.
It started through her own negligence. Having to have your nose reattached from trying to curse your acne away was always bound to become castle-wide gossip. Then Eloise's infamy grew as the Yule Ball approached, becoming the unwilling standard-bearer of last date choice. But the true salt in the wound was hearing straight-laced Hermione Granger use her as a benchmark for curse-level nastiness.
Eloise's pariahhood was complete.
It was a relief, then, to be withdraw from Hogwarts as the Dark encroached.
