A/N: Melanie Range is a Griffindor from TYGO. If you haven't read it, this may be a bit confusing for you. This is quite short, because I started it almost a week ago, and I really can't remember where I was going with it. Parody on weird girls who stalk boys, I guess.

Melanie's Crush...

He was THE most handsome boy in their grade.

Melanie couldn't explain it, but his brooding, dark stare was what originally attracted her. His face usually remained hidden behind his long hair that dangled like black drapes. Most people claimed that his nose was large and slimy, but Melanie found it somewhat attractive. His cool aura was intensified by his strange manners and twitchy walk.

There wasn't a thing Melanie wouldn't do to claim some of his attention. She even snogged Sirius Black, who was good enough looking but not quite her tastes. Of course, he was good at snogging. Recently, he had taken to staring longingly at Lily Evans, for whatever reason. Melanie couldn't understand what he saw in the pushy redhead.

It was just a short jump from snogging Sirius Black to snogging Mulciber, one of Severus Snape's friends. Mulciber was an oaf. The large git couldn't read. It was surprising that he could even use a wand. It was apparent that he had giant blood in him. Suffice to say, snogging Mulciber was like kissing the giant squid's suction cups. It wasn't pleasant at all. At least he didn't expect to get any further than that, unlike Evan Rosier.

Melanie pushed away the distracting thoughts of her current beau. It was far more interesting to study Severus Snape. His normal, gloomy aura was quite intense today. He sat alone in the corner of the library, hastily scrawling lines for a paper about something or other. He was completely focused, with his dark black hair shading his face. Melanie had sat so that she could stare at his focused face. He didn't look up from his work, not even once, so it wasn't surprising that he didn't notice her staring.

"There you are," Mulciber's deep voice came from behind her, "I was looking for you."

Melanie rolled her eyes before putting on a sweet smile to turn around. Her blue eyes drifted upwards to Mulciber's face. It was unfortunate that he wasn't handsome, "oh, silly me. I forgot that we made plans. I was so focused on reading. I'm sorry, Sean."

If Mulciber suspected that she was lying, he didn't say anything. Melanie had, of course, blown him off in order to spend time admiring the boy she liked. She didn't even have a book open. Instead, the oaf looked over Melanie's shoulder and a dumb smile took his face, "oh look, Severus is here. Why don't we go sit with him?"

Melanie gulped quietly before giggling. She quickly stood up, "oh, he is? I didn't even notice."

Of course, Mulciber strode over to Severus without a second thought. Melanie trailed behind him somewhat slower. As soon as they got close enough, Severus' head snapped up and he reached for his wand on impulse. Seeing that it was one of his house, he relaxed slightly. The dark haired boy didn't say a word to Mulciber, instead he turned his stony, suspicious gaze to Melanie.

"Why do you bring her everywhere? She's one of them," Severus glowered at Melanie, making her knees feel slightly weak.

"What?" Mulciber gaped for a moment, pulling a chair up, "she's a pureblood. It's not her fault she was put in Griffindor with the other blood traitors."

"Hmph... What do you want, Mulciber?" Severus finally turned his gaze to the thick boy, "I thought you were going to Hogsmeade with Avery today..."

"I was about to... But I wanted to take my girlfriend with me," Mulciber smiled stupidly, "and I noticed that you two were in the library."

"I don't want to go," Melanie suggested adamantly, "if you want to go, I'll be here when you get back."

"Really? Alright..." Mulciber stared at her for a moment, slowly getting up from the seat he'd taken up, "I'll find you later."

Melanie watched his retreating figure. How stupid could the lug get? Leaving his "girlfriend" alone with the boy she likes? Of course, it wasn't like he knew anything about her... He probably didn't even suspect anything. How a person like him got into Slytherin was beyond her. As soon as he was gone, Melanie slid herself into the chair that he'd left.

Severus had been watching her absently, without saying a word. There was a note of dislike in his eyes. Melanie put on her best poker face, "we've never talked, have we? I'm Melanie Range."

It took him a moment to realize what was happening. A sneer slowly formed on his face, "don't think I'm going to be nice to you just because of Mulciber. I've seen you... Dirty trash, snogging Black."

"Oh?" A smile teased Melanie's lips, "looks like I've been caught. Some boys are so easy to fool... The rest of the Griffindors all think I'm stupid, you know..."

"Could have fooled me," Severus glowered at her. He made a move to close his textbook, but he was stopped by Melanie.

"I could help you get revenge on them. I can get you into the Griffindor common rooms," Melanie explained slowly, keeping her voice low. She was surprised by the clammy feel of Severus' hand under her finger tips.

That intrigued Severus momentarily, before he shook his head, "not interested. I don't need your help to get revenge, I can get it myself."

With that, the dark haired boy finished gathering his things and stormed away, leaving Melanie to stare dreamily at his retreating form. Severus' dark robes fluttered around him, giving him the look of a dark bird.
