Not so arrogant toe-rag
"A weak little insufferable Ravenclaw"
She went inside the bathroom and locked the door, she set her clothes down, grasped the sides of the sink and looked herself in the eyes.
"Suck it up Diana, Black's words mean nothing to you, don't let him get under your skin. They. Mean. Nothing. To. You." she said to herself in a firm voice that didn't waver one bit, she broke her stare and shook her head like it would make her emotions leave. She started to change and was putting on her skirt when a tear had fallen onto it, a tear that had reluctantly escaped her eye.
"A weak and annoying little insufferable Ravenclaw" The words that Sirius had said would not stop repeating themselves in her head, she hated how easily someone could get under her skin, sometimes she wished she wasn't a witch so she wouldn't have to go to Hogwarts and be in a specific house or have people hate her for the was she was sorted into.
She didn't choose to be a Ravenclaw, she just wanted to be with her brother, but apparently that wasn't acceptable either. Remus really was her only friend growing up, she didn't have any muggle friends and neither did he, it was them against the world. Well, it was until they came to Hogwarts, he'd found his three best friends that he said "Would be my friends forever.", but Diana was the black sheep in her dorm. Her dorm mates were Lessie Edgecombe, Mabel Fletcher, Maddison Daniels, and Annabeth Kinoshi; they had become really close during their first two weeks at Hogwarts and have been ever since. At night, they'd all be huddled together on one of their beds, giggling and whispering about some stupid things, Diana assumed they were usually whispering about Annabeth's crush on Robert Chang, a boy who was in the year above them. They always looked at her like she had three heads when she would hang out with her friends, she wondered if it were because they were Gryffindors or because they were boys. In first year, she'd tried to become friends with them, but they pretty much just ignored her, it hurt little eleven-year old Diana's feelings, but it was worth it because the next day when she was sitting out by the lake, she met three boys that would become her family.
She didn't realize it but when she was lost in her thoughts, the tears were now flowing freely down her face "No one even wants you here Lupin!" rang through her head, so she finished getting dressed and went back to the sink. She splashed water on her face to hopefully look like she hadn't been crying over some stupid git's annoying comments, she looked at herself in the mirror and saw that her eyes were still a bit red but she'd have to make do. She grabbed her old clothes and opened the door only to be faced with James Potter.
"Oh, sorry." she said, trying to push past him so she couldn't embarrass herself, but he just grasped onto her shoulders when he saw the weird look on her face.
"Hey, are you alright?" James asked, seeing her slightly red and puffy eyes.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be Potter?" she shrugged.
