honeybunch132- I'm glad that you approve of my decision, as I was starting to second guess myself.
"Dark down here, isn't it?" Gale noted to her Slytherin companions as they made their way into the dark corridors of the dungeons.
"Can't believe I'll be living in this hell hole off and on for the next seven years," thought the girl behind her.
Gale turned to look at her. "Oi! 'Hell hole'? Fiesty one, you are."
"And you must be the little legilimens they all keep talking about." She smirked. "I'm Bronwyn Fauntleroy. But I'll assume you know this."
Gale continued to stare into Bronwyn's green eyes for a moment, sizing her up. Halfblood. First year. Youngest of two. And an...
"Animagus? How does one do that?"
Bronwyn smirked again. It made her look almost like a cat when she did that. "That's a story. And I'm honestly not completely sure. My brother made a potion... I had to wait for an extremely long time... and then I drank it. Next thing I knew, I was an animagus." Her face got serious. "But don't you tell anyone. I'm not registered, and I don't plan to be."
"Interesting..."
"Planning on becoming one yourself?"
Gale thought for a moment. "Possibly."
Over the next couple of days, Gale tried hard to adjust. And succeeded. Though James was extremely pissed at the hat's decision of house for her, the other three boys didn't mind at all.
She grew close to Remus, enjoying his thoughts, him enjoying her silence. They got on well, despite their opposing personalities.
But Sirius, Peter, and James had no other part in her life than as followers.
Bronwyn turned out to be an interesting type. And because of her personality, Gale considered her a partner, and equal. But there was something about her... something that she hid in her thoughts...
Something that Gale was determined to find out.
Hope you enjoyed! I was trying to show how Gale doesn't think of people as friends. She has followers and equals, but I feel like she and Remus have a special connection. Maybe Gale's in denial about having a real friend?
A significant part of this story line is adding a love interest for Gale, but I have to ask you all first. I had to take into consideration what gender, personality, and look would best fit Gale in a significant other. Please comment so I can get the next chapter going! (I can even make it an existing character, with the exception of James, as I'll be adding some Lilly soon.)
Like and comment, as always. I update sooner when you do (hint, hint)!
