Shelby Brown
His cold lips were locked onto mine, my hands were tangled in his hair and his hands were softly but confidently touching me. I sighed in happiness, is this what heaven feels like? I stare into his eyes, his piercing blue eyes and his brown, disheveled hair. He smiles at me and I kiss him again. The door bangs open and I launch myself away from him.
"Henry, there you are! I've been looking all over for you!" squeals a high pitched voice
I see Henry's eyes widen in fear as he becomes completely pale. His breathing accelerates and he scrunches up his nose, thinking hard. I gaze at the owner of this high pitched voice and am not surprised. She has a long auburn ponytail and plain brown eyes. Though she could be described as cute, she's not exactly attractive. Being angry does not do her wonders I see. For she is quivering with rage and her teeth are bared, telling the world she hasn't brushed her teeth after lunch. This girl is Louise Hails. Just great. I snort.
"It's not what it looks like!" blurts out Henry, desperate to end the stare-off between Louise and I (which I totally won). I smirk, of course it's what it looks like. You don't just find your boyfriend snogging another girl and expect them to believe that you guys were just discussing History! I stare at her once more and remember being that girl. I will never forget the day when I walked in and saw Diana Miller shagging MY boyfriend (of the time), Paul Bary! That doesn't make me pity Louise Hails though. If I had to live through that situation, why shouldn't she? She should dump him on the spot! Not that I'd go out with this guy though. He may be hot and a good snogger but I want to keep my options open. Especially now that I have way more of them now that I'm stunning. I'm not bragging or anything, it's just a fact. Last year and the years before that, I was ugly, so ugly that no guys would date me and few girls wanted to be seen talking to me. I know this because Laure Bulstrode refused to do an Ancient Runes assignment with me. Now I bet everybody will want to be my friend, but I'll be picky, I'll only take the very best. Unlike some ugly girls in this school, I got tired of waiting around and took action. I have this really handy potion, it's doing wonders! It'll remain my secret though, I wouldn't want everybody taking that. The other ugly girls will be like me but I can only imagine what would happen if someone like Mary Mcdonald took it. She'd have the entire male population of Hogwarts worshipping her! No, this will be my secret. I'm going to use this potion well, in fact I have a project. After snogging as many boys as I can to make up for lost time, I will get James Potter to date me. You see, I have been utterly smitten with James since 3rd year! When I was ugly, I couldn't risk asking him out, I don't think I could handle a rejection. Now that I'm hot, I'll only have to ask once and he'll say yes in a heartbeat. I haven't told any of my mates this, they just don't understand me! Besides, I'm going to get a whole new set of friends, my old ones are just not in my league anymore. Being seen hanging out with them would be awful for my popularity. I'd like to get into Mary, Tanya, Marlene, Alice and Lily's group but I don't think I can. They're just so tight already, I would feel like an outsider! I'm pretty friendly with Mary but the only thing keeping me away from that group is that cow Lily. I hate her, and since she's an important part of the group, I can't get in! Ugh, it's so unfair. Lily's a stubborn bitch. I mean just look at how mean she is to James. Rejection after rejection… I'm not saying I'm happier this way but still, we're so different! I could tell that when I came into their compartment some time ago, she strongly disapproved of my transformation and attitude. Jeez, I can do what I want, she's not my bloody mom. I don't know what James sees in her. Watching him pine after her in 4th and 5th year almost killed me! The rejections helped, but I was terrified that Lily was going to be the only girl he noticed for the rest of his life. When I saw that he had given up on her as he should have from the start, I was so relieved, I think that's what got me to start working on myself, because this boy was finally both emotionally and physically available. Sure, before that he would have been up for a good snog but he was just thinking of Lily the entire time. I've listened to outraged girls recount the times he pulled away from them to ask Evans out. It's not his fault though, it's all Evans's for leading him on. During all the time I was daydreaming about James, Louise Hails was still shouting at Henry. Poor Henry looked terrified. After a few minutes of listening to all this ranting come out of her unpleasant voice, she remembered I was still here.
"You! You slag! You're just a slut!" she shouted at me in anger
I rolled my eyes. I was good at taking insults, looks like I had traded the ones about being ugly to the ones about being a slag. I'd still rather be called a slag, at least it means I pretty enough for boys to want to cheat on their girlfriends for me. I wasn't going to take this lying down though, I didn't care about the consequences and he was a wonderful snogger. I'd do it again! I proceeded to tell her so. Then something unexpected happened to Tanya Hails. She became all red in the face and her cheeks puffed up to twice their normal size. I snickered, boy, that girl was angry! I glanced at Henry to see what he thought about this. He looked revolted. Still chortling, I muttered:
"Silencio" And walked out the room. What an action packed start to 7th year. I can tell this year will be fun… I walked out of the train and joined Mary in the horseless carriages. Something tells me that this year is going to be different from all my previous years at Hogwarts. Yes, my 7th year at Hogwarts will have significantly change my life in the future.
