.first.

Padma was a smart girl, she knew it.

that's why she was a

R

A

V

E

N

C

L

A

W

(right?)

so how come

that Gryffindor was always

^better?^

.second.

Padma had the

brains

wits

intelligence

she had

e/v/e/r/y/t/h/i/n/g

but Hermione still beat her

with her

{natural}

~talents~

Why? She was the

G

R

Y

F

F

I

N

D

O

R

and she was the

R

A

V

E

N

C

L

A

W

so it didn't make =sense=

{what does anymore?}

.third.

Padma /h/a/n/g/s/ onto logic

reasoning

understanding

but still can't figure out why

she can't think

-straight-

when she's around her.

.fourth.

Padma rarely sees her anymore

but she (kindamaybesorta)

wants to.

Parvati (kindamaybesorta) knows her

{a luxury you don't have}

and says that she just

studies

and

worries

over her idiot friends.

(especially the redhead)

{{{{{Padma was never that competitive, but this time, she must win.}}}}}

.fifth.

Padma does

everything

she can to make her

*notice*

her.

She joins the [ARMY]

to be close to her

and 1one1 day

she asks

"How are you so smart?"

She laughs like a /bell/ and says she

doesn't know

(and it doesn't make sense because why wouldn't you know why you were smart when you always knew the answer to e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g?)

and Padma wonders why she had

F

A

L

L

E

N

for the i-d-i-o-t

in the 1first1 place.

.sixth.

They're kinda close now

or at least Padma ?thinks?.

They don't really #talk# much

but they know the )other(

and it might be *w*i*s*h*f*u*l* thinking

but Padma thinks she saw Hermione

staring.

.seventh.

Padma doesn't even know what to ?think? anymore

since

she's gone now.

She lives on with her sister

(who just isn't good enough)

and hopes that she will

return

to

her.

.now.

She's back now

and she's saved the

(((((whole wide world)))))

{you can't get smarter than that}

and Padma's just so !happy! to see her safe

that she goes ^up^ and

{{hugs}} her

and Hermione

{{returns}}

Padma knows that it was only as a .f.r.i.e.n.d.

(she's not stupid)

but Padma's

willing to w.a.i.t.

for

silly

silly

silly

(not smart, silly)

Hermione

to {{return}}

her [unrequited] 3l3o3v3e.

(^Smart^ girls like Padma shouldn't fall in love with ~silly~ girls like Hermione.

but was Padma ever

S-M-A-R-T

to begin with?)
