Hogwarts. The place were I was able to get away from my abusive parents. I was feared throughout the school because of the 2 reasons: 1) I am in Slytherin and people think that everyone in Slytherin are gits. 2) I stand up to people who agitate me. So that's probably why everyone either hates or is scared of me.

I was sitting on the Hogwarts Express in a compartment with the annoying troll herself Parkinson, Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle. They kept talking about how they were going to prank this dork called Neville Longbottom but I was just sick of those arses so I shouted, "SHUT THE HELL UP I JUST WANT SOME PEACE AND QUIET THANK YOU VERY MUCH!" I then muttered under my breathe, "Bastards." The entire train ride grew silent and no one dared to talk until they were off the train. Apparently, everyone heard me and started whispering awful things about me and whenever I caught someone doing that, I gave them my famous death stare and turned on my heels and walked quickly away. By the time I was in the long corridors heading to the Great Hall, the hall had been full of new faces and some familiar ones too. Everyone seemed to move out of the way in fear that I was going to shout at anyone in my way.

I arrived at the Great Hall waiting for Dumbledore to give his long infamous yet boring speech before finally eating. I like to do everything alone, it calms me and I don't have to worry about anybody else but only for a short period of time because nobody can leave me alone for at least 5 minutes without nagging to me.

Then, I saw a bunch of people surrounding this one boy so I slowly but eagerly walked towards the crowd and people were starting to move out of the way again. I recognized that boy covered in slime goo, Neville Longbottom. I quickly took my wand out and scanned my around the corridor to find the person responsible, Malfoy. I finally found him, laughing his head off in one of the broom cupboards. I pulled him out and slammed him onto the wall and put my wand under his chin, "you foul loathsome evil little cockroach!" Everyone could tell Draco was trembling in fear as I whispered, "you're going to apologize or else I'll make sure that you and your father will end up in Azkaban together." We did as I said and then ran off sweating immensely. I stomped away to my special tree near the lake closing my eyes and slowly drifting off to... "Hello, Y/N?" I quickly opened my eyes and took out my wand but lowered it slowly after realizing that it was only Neville. "What do you want?" I said in annoyance.
"I'm really sorry to bother you but I just wanted to say thank you for what you did back there. I just wanted to share my gratitude for you." He slowly walked away but I jumped off the tree landing smoothly on my feet and ran towards the sweet boy. "Your welcome. I was wondering if you would like to go to the Three Broomsticks with me for our next Hogsmeade trip?" My heart was racing faster and faster as he didn't answer yet. "I would love to!" Neville said blushing and he walked off skipping.

I went back to my tree and closed my eyes again, "what do you think you're doing Y/N? Of course you don't like Neville, you only feel bad right? Pull yourself together! You can't fall for anyone, and currently not for a Gryffindor that doesn't live up to the standards of his house." But it didn't matter to me anymore because I drifted off to a long and refreshing sleep.

But, I couldn't sleep here, I knew that I would miss Potions and Snape would go looking for me so I quickly hurried to Professor Snape's classroom. "Alright class, we are going to be making the Veritaserum also known as the truth serum." Snape announced to the class loudly. He waved his wand and tapped it on the board and the instructions and ingredients needed to make the potion appeared. I quickly read the instructions and made the truth serum before anybody did. I raised my hand up and everyone in the class looked at me, some in shock and some looking surprised and confused. I looked around the room and saw Hermione Granger not finished with her potion yet, looking at me too. I could tell she was surprised and angry that I made it before she did but when Snape came closer to me, everyone looked away and concentrated hard on what they were putting in there cauldron. Professor Snape was looking impressed for once, "Class, it appears that Miss Y/L/N has made an impressive truth serum... 10 points for Slytherin!" People in Slytherin were really happy that I got points for the house but everyone in Gryffindor didn't seem to care except for Neville.

After the bell rang and the hall was filling up with students, I quickly went out of the room to change for my Quidditch match against Hufflepuff. "Give an extra big cheer for the captain for Slytherin... Y/N Y/L/N!!!" The crowd went wild for me since they said I was the best in the year. I actually thought that Oliver Wood was better than me but I guess I could still take credit for it. I mounted my broomstick and kicked off the ground gently and off we played. I was a Seeker and to be honest, I thought the position was over-rated and I really wanted to be either Chaser or Beater but my team insisted of me being Seeker.

Finally, after the game was about to end, I caught a glimpse of a golden light and quickly chased it. Cedric Diggory saw me chase the snitch so he followed soon after. But, I saw in the corner of my eye, a rogue Bludger flying towards me so I pulled up and it hit Cedric off his broom and he was lying on the floor unconscious. But the Bludger couldn't stop following me and trying to hit me so I swiftly pulled out my wand and yelled, "BOMBARDA MAXIMA!" The Bludger exploded and tiny pieces were scattered on the pitch. Everyone came Cedric's aid. No one came to me, I was the one getting chased by it and not once did someone ask me if I was okay or not.

I was walking in the corridor, heading to my Defence Against the Dark class when someone pulled me into the broom cupboard. It was Draco. He taped my mouth and tied my hands behind my back so I was helpless. He whispered in my ear, "Now you can't stop me." And he quickly ran away. I was trying to get myself out of the ropes but they were too tight. Funnily enough, Draco didn't tie my legs so I was able to kick the door open and make someone untie me and I ran straight towards Malfoy.

Luckily, I had arrived because Draco was hanging Neville by the foot on a tree and was dropping him when I pulled out my wand and was able to get Neville safely on the ground. "What have I told you, he hasn't done anything wrong to you and you decided that it was good to start bullying him. STUPEFY!" Malfoy went flying away and I walked away with Neville behind me. "How many times do I have to say to them to stop picking on you. And how many times have I told you to stand up to them. They're just gits asking for some attention." I had a very long talk about how Neville could easily stand up to them without anything bad happening to him. "Fine. I have no choice but to give you some charms lessons myself." I walked away angrily back to class.

"Sorry I'm late Professor Lupin." I said quietly and took at my wand.
"No problem Miss Y/L/N." And Professor Lupin continued with the lesson. We had to learn this spell which would turn our worst fear into something funny. My turn came and I had to think of my worst fear. A dementor came out of the closet and I shouted, "Expecto Patronum!" The boggart of a dementor was pushed back into the closet. Everyone was gasping in awe including the Professor because I successfully produced a Patronus. "That was very good Miss Y/L/N. 20 points for Slytherin! Now think of something else and shout Riddikulus after it appears." I then thought hard and a clone of Professor Snape came towards me and said that I failed me potions class and then I said, "Riddikulus!" And Professor Snape was dressed up as a ballerina in a pink tutu which seemed to make everyone in the room laugh hysterically!

I had finished my classes for the day and was able to practice some Quidditch myself without anyone watching which was just the peace I needed. I then saw a group of Gryffindor players going on the pitch so I flew back into the changing rooms. I didn't think they saw me because if they did, I would have gotten in some trouble.

The next day was the trip to Hogsmeade and I asked Neville to go with me before and he said yes so I was waiting for him. He finally arrived and we talked about when I was going to teach him some defensive spells and jinxes. We drank butterbeer, ate a lot of food and bought new supplies for school. I surprisingly had a lot of fun with Neville and nobody bugged me for the entire trip. That day was probably the best ever!

This was Neville's first lesson about Defensive against the annoying gits. I taught him a Stunning spell which was very effective and easy to learn. We said goodbye and went back to our dorms because the next day was Valentine's Day!
