Dreary Thoughts

I mournfully pulled my feet slowly across the path of Hogsmeade, not thinking about the brawl that just started back in The Three Broomsticks. Tears streamed from my eyes, making them puffy.

I didn't want to live this life. I didn't want people fighting over me. My gaze wandered to all the happy couples in the different shops, which jabbed at my heart.

What did I get myself into?

I had my head down as I walked to the Great Hall for breakfast, trying to hide my face. I didn't see where I was going though, and I bumped into somebody, making my quills and books spill all over the floor.
