The Real Wolf Girl {A Harry Potter Fanfic}

Page 10

I took a shower and changed into sweatpants and a Hogwarts hoodie. It seemed like so long since I have been there, when really it hasn't even been a year. I kind of wasted my last two years because I was traumatized, but we managed to get in some good times. I was quidditch captain those years. Ashley and Nila wouldn't let me quit, which turned out to be a good thing. Of course, I did a lot more vicious in my sixth year.

My last year was okay actually. When James and Sirius-Nila and Narcissa's little brothers-bothered us we made up stuff about Hogwarts and got them into a lot of trouble. We of course, never got caught. I think it was last year that I learned to smile again. Through my sixth year I was just bitter and mean. That was a difficult year for my fellow Ravenclaws.

I walked downstairs and behind the counter just in time to hear Lisa finish telling Ashley and Nila everything I had told her yesterday.

"How do you feel wolf girl?" Nila teased. She wasn't being insensitive. Someone has to give me a little hell at some point.

I frowned as I tried to think of a way to respond. I would say I wish but that would sound juvenile and not completely true.

"Don't call me that." I finally said and sat on the stool in between Lisa and Ashley. Nila had one on the other side, probably so she could see better and be a pain to our customers.

"Oh, you know you like it." She insisted.

"I know that it isn't true and it kills me to admit that I wish it were, but in case you misinterpreted what Lisa told you, I kind of screwed it up last night." I told her with a bit of an edge to my voice. I wasn't really in the mood for her antics.

"Oh, I'm sure Isabella." Ashley interjected. I raised an inquisitive eyebrow at her. "Come on, there is no way he can stay away from you. He's a creepy stalker, he's obsessed with you; he broke into your room for Merlin's sake!" She said. I don't understand how everyone can be so sure that he'll come back.

"Go easy on her you two. This is really difficult for her to deal with." Lisa probably rescued me with that one.

"How old do you think he is?" Nila asked. I hadn't even thought about that. I'm out of school so as long as he's not like thirty it doesn't matter.

"Twenty-two." Ashley answered instantly and we all looked at her. "What? I know people." She brushed us off and we didn't question her.
