Dichotomy

by Yuuki no Yuki

Not every Slytherin ends up in the Snake Pit. Some cave to parental bias, some follow friends or family, and some make a calculated decision to align themselves with the most underestimated house in a bid for safety and security. Well, only one girl did that. But she read those books, no way was she dealing with all that plot. SI/OC Drabble Fic

It took weeks before she'd realized she was lonely.

Cedric had graduated, Slytherins avoided her, and she'd never bothered befriending her dormmates.

She had Alchemy.

She only had Alchemy.

...it wasn't enough.

Somewhere in her melancholy she'd taken, "I need 12 OWLs for my Mastery" and "I'm lonely" and ended up with 'join the DA.'

It was stupid.

Theo would have scolded her.

But Theo wasn't there.

So she'd joined.

"What did you say?"

Her eyes flicked from the back of Colin Creevy to meet Hermione's gaze, "...I should teach first aid."
