Chapter 8 – Being Hated and Lying to Hermione

Remus stood at the archway that divided his kitchen from his lounge room. He could clearly see flames that seemed to ignite in Holly's eyes. She was fired up, but then again so was he. He was just about to go out for his transformation to find Holly waiting for him and not in bed.

"You shouldn't be up now Holly. You're 13 – I instructed you to stay in your room while I go for my transformation. Why can't you just do what I tell you to do?" Remus growled – he was slightly wolfish. He could feel an urge to rip out her throat – but he also knew that she was his best friend's daughter – he couldn't hurt her.

"I asked you to adopt me! I told you it was better than pretending to my friends about who I was! I can't keep showing everyone a birth certificate that I conjured with your name and some girl's name I made up on it can I?" Holly shouted; it had been his idea. If it bothered her so much conjure up a faux birth certificate. Holly finally gave up when Remus didn't reply; she scoffed and stormed up the stairs. She slammed her door shut he heard all the locks click shut on her door. She had to keep her door and window locked shut while Remus transformed. It was safer for her. He had his potion so that helped but still…she had to keep her door and window locked.

Fourth Year started mostly like any other. September 1st moved more slowly then Holly would've liked. She decided it was best to stay away from Fred and George for a while. As well as Harry, Ron and Hermione. Everyone in Gryffindor seemed to be against her. As well as being frustrating, homework became an issue. The only place she could do it was the Library among Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws. Holly found herself isolated from her house. The only place when members of her house surrounded her was during the first feast of the school term. Also Remus didn't seem to want to respond to her letters either. If he did they were short and clipped. The only time boys in her house and other houses took notice of the fact that existed was when mention of the Triwizard Tournament was made. Boys started to ask girls to go with them. It was one late night when Holly thought everyone had gone to bed that she set about doing her Transfiguration Homework. She only looked up when someone cleared their throat near to her making her jump. It was one of the twins. Someone she thought who would never talk to her willingly.

"Oh hi." She said and turned back to her textbook. He ignored her clipped and short reply; he sat down next to her and sighed softly. He seemed to be trying to get up the courage to say something so it didn't surprised her when he spoke.

"Holly…look – I know Fred being a git but you have to believe me when I say, he's confused. You don't want to admit you're a Potter – I understand that. Your attitude just confused me. One minute you're totally comfortable with who you are the next you're admitting you're someone you're not."

"George – if you're here to apologize to me for Fred's actions, don't bother." Holly snapped.

"No. I'm not here for him. I'm here so I can tell you that I understand what you're trying to do. And to ask you if you'd like to go to the Yule Ball with me?" Holly looked up at him and really looked at him now.

"The Yule Ball?" She asked. He nodded, "yeah all right then." She smiled then for the first time since September 1st.

It was at least twelve days later that Harry, Ron and Hermione started talking to her again. They had been discussing the Yule Ball. Holly just happened to be sitting near them when the boys announced they didn't have dates.

"Hey Holly." She looked up at them; her hazel eyes had sparks in them.

"Yes Ron?" She replied; her voice made Fred and George look up from their position next to Hermione.

"You're a girl." He said, sounding completely stupid making Hermione and Ginny – who had heard him – scoff and groan.

"Very well spotted Weasley. What can I do for you?" Holly asked, sarcasm dripping from her tone.

"Wanna go with one of us? Harry or me I mean?" He said. Lee Jordan spoke up at that point wanting to make himself heard, and intent on hurting Holly more than she already was.

"Wouldn't it be weird those Weasley, if Holly went with her brother? Bit strange isn't it?" He said, Holly felt bitter tears burn her eyes, but she didn't let them fall.

"I'm not going Ron. I have no intention of going to the Yule Ball trust me." She said and stood up before retreating to her Dorm. Fred looked at George who shrugged.

Holly looked up as the door to the Dorm opened and Hermione walked in. Although her face held no sarcasm or hate for her.

"Holly? Who are you going with? I know someone asked you. I'll tell you who asked me if you tell me who asked you." Hermione coaxed.

"I haven't been asked Hermione." Holly said.

"Yes you have. I saw him ask you in the Common Room. Which one was it? Fred or George?" Holly looked up sharply. Hermione's face was a picture of trust and warmth but Holly didn't trust her.

"You first." Holly said.

"Victor Krum." Hermione said – Holly cocked an eyebrow.

"Krum? As in – Quidditch Krum?" Hermione nodded.

"Yeah. He told me that he'd been going to library to try and ask me, but he hadn't gotten the courage up until a few days ago. Now you. Who was it?" Holly swallowed, but what she said was different form what Hermione had thought.

"No one. He didn't ask me. We were just talking." Holly said. She got up and went to change for bed. Hermione sighed heavily, her annoyance clear. Holly just smiled to herself. Success was near for her.

Hogsmeade weekends. One of the many happier moments of Holly's time at Hogwarts. She got to spend some time away from Fred and George. However, she was hardly out of Hermione or Ginny's sight. Her eyes pleaded with Harry and Ron. And eventually they left her in Honeydukes. Sneaking out she made her way quickly down to a robe shop. A beautiful pale blue dress had caught her attention and she intended to have it for the Yule Ball. She had to. So she bought it but made sure she didn't see Hermione, Ron, Harry, Ginny, George or Fred for the rest of the day.

When they went back to Hogwarts she went straight up to her dorm and hid the bag somewhere no one would look for it.
