My second year was pretty uneventful. Lily remained my best friend, we would often pair up in potions class much to the dismay of those around us. Lily taught me to fly better, although I still wasn't a big fan of it, but I guess you could say the same about how she felt about my curses.
The fights with Potter and Black started to get physical. Because Lucius wasn't there anymore, they thought it okay to mess with me again. They knew they were no match for me with a wand, so they would use their fists. There was no denying that they were stronger than me physically.
Sirius Black was the worst. It was rather shocking to see someone of such noble blood status acting in such a manner. He had a brother, Regulus Black, who was a year below us. Regulus was quite charming and attractive, the complete opposite from his brother. It's hard to believe that they came from the same planet, much less the same woman. Bless the poor woman's heart.
Before starting third year, I had a problem. That summer I started to develop breasts, and quickly. I learned to bind them with bandages. By the end of summer, hiding them without binding became a nearly impossible feat. On the bright side, I shot up in height.
I had to be more cautious in school, especially in my dorm. Everything was going okay until I felt a sharp pang in my stomach during class. I asked to excuse myself and I went to the bathroom. I saw that I was bleeding and it felt like my world was crashing down on me. I ran to Madame Pomfrey.
"I think I'm dying!" She looked at me concerned. I started crying, "I felt a pain in my stomach and ran to the bathroom, when I got there I saw blood everywhere! I think it's coming from my private parts." She didn't believe me until I showed her the blood on the back of my pants and I had to explain to her that I was actually female. She told me that it was my period and explained it to me. I was horrified that I would have to deal with this every month.
Before I left the hospital wing, I realized that we weren't alone. I was horrified to see Lupin laying on his bed in the corner of the hospital wing. Being an observant person, it wasn't difficult for me to guess why he was there. I had read books on lycanthropy and with him always being out around the full moon, it didn't take long for me to come to the realization that he was a werewolf. I waited for him outside. I cornered him and demanded to speak with him in private.
"Wow Snivellus, I always knew you were a bitch, but I never would've assumed you LITERALLY were one. I guess this would explain why you've been on edge lately." I couldn't hold my anger and I slapped him.
I pulled myself together and I smirked. "Did you know that your name means wolffish in Latin, just an observation…" He agreed to keep my secret after that.
It was getting difficult to blend in when all of the other boys voices were dropping. I guess I should just consider myself lucky that they just assumed my voice was "girly" because I was gay. The Gryffindor boys would call me "poofer" "queer" "faggot" to my face. My roommates would tell me to ignore them and take the high road because people were always watching, they never cared about my sexuality.
I tried to ignore them, I really did. But I suppose Sirius is projecting his own insecurities onto me, because he thought it would be hilarious to kiss me on the train home in front of everyone. I hexed him something nasty after that.
