The One Who Doesn't Care-

Teddy falls on her, and she laughs it off. Vic calls her an ugly bint, and she laughs until she almost cries, pretending to ignore her sister's insult. Her multitude of aunts and uncles congratulate her on making Quidditch Captain at such a young age—14—but she shrugs off their praise, acting like it was the easiest thing in the world to do (it wasn't).

So she worked her arse off to get those Es and Os in her classes, to pass all over OWLs, she studied hard for her NEWTs, and then, when it was time to get the praise she deserved she acted like it was all pure luck.

She lies about how much time she spends getting ready in the morning. She knows she's not as pretty as Victoire, so she adds a little make up to her morning routine. People tell her that she's naturally beautiful and she smiles gratefully, but it's all a lie.

She pretends like she doesn't care, but she does.

And when Ralph Nachazel finally asks her out, she shrugs her shoulders and says "sure," even though she had been trying for ages to get his attention.

She acts like she doesn't care, but she does.


A/N: So I'm just uploading it all now...I hate waiting.
