31. Hugo Weasley
It isn't easy being a Weasley grandkid. Dad always says he had it hard with so many brothers, but it's even worse when you're a grandkid because there are even more kids to live up to.
There's Victoire, stunning, glamorous Victoire with her dazzling
silver-blonde hair and her eleven O's in her N.E.W.Ts. Everyone's always fawning over her, telling her how beautiful she looks and how perfect she is. As if she needs telling. If she didn't shake her head every time and deny all compliments I'd have to hate her.
And James. Big Quidditch hero James, ever popular among girls who seem very willing to chase and giggle after him. And no one cares that he's such a git sometimes, because he's only taking after his grandfather, and everyone knows how great the first James Potter was. (I'm not being sarcastic here.)
And of course there's my sister. She's Victoire without the Veela genes
– perfect at every single sodding subject at school, always getting top
marks, loved by all the teachers but always denying her braininess, always convincing herself that she's going to fail and being surprised when she passes with flying colours.
Of course, every other Weasley grandkid is great at something. There's the brave Albus, and all of Uncle George's kids are really smart and witty, and Lily, the youngest of the grandkids, the sweetest, the most looked after, and Uncle Charlie's macho men are always looked upon as strong, the defenders of the Weasleys.
And there's me. Hugo. The first Weasley Hufflepuff, the one always looked over, nothing special. I'm not the most handsome, I don't always get top marks and I'm definitely not that great at Quidditch. I'm the one who's always being moaned at; the one snickered at in school, never living up to expectations.
I'm just the grey sky against the rainbows.
