Current mood: | mixed feelings |
Who: Marietta Edgecombe and Cho Chang
Where: The Acid Pop, liverpool
When: Saturday, December 29, 1995, partway through the concert
Why: OWL EXPRESS!!!!
So far being of age has been absolutely amazing. Granted, I've only been seventeen for a couple weeks, but I had a lovely birthday and a lovely Christmas and I'm even seeing Owl Express! I'm feeling so good about my new adulthood that I haven't even worried about the upcoming Apparition lessons that I know will start in a couple months.
The one thing I do have nagging worries about is Cho and Harry's...whatever it is. I haven't told Cho about Harry being in contact with Sirius Black - Mum told me not to, and if I told her now, she probably would just accuse me of making up things. And yet, this means she can't see that Harry Potter is dangerous and still keeps fancying him.
I want her to be happy. She's my best friend and especially after everything that happened with Cedric - things I know that are still going on in her mind, she really deserves it. And I know that Harry won't make her happy because he's dangerous. But I don't know how to get that through to her, as well as the fact that the DA is just not a good idea without upsetting her. The last thing I want is for her to decide she doesn't want to talk to me or be friends anymore, especially when she has both of us, but especially herself, in such a risky situation.
And bleh, I don't want to be thinking about this. Especially when they're playing Dissendium of Hearts and Conrad is looking so fit, I can almost forget about Cormac McLaggen.
"Isn't he a hundred times more dreamy in person than in pictures?" I ask Cho, gesturing to the lead singer.

Marietta is so lucky to be of age. My birthday's so late I'm practically a fifth year. Though if I have the brains to keep up with the curriculum at the level I'm at, I won't be bothered by the minor inconveniences of being younger than my peers. Anyway, now that Mare's of age it's not so bad. She can do any simple spellwork we need done, like mending the tear in my bag from when it got snagged by a brick in the fireplace on our way here. And now we're here seeing Owl Express live in concert! "He is much better looking in person," I agree. He's still not as cute as Harry, though. My smile widens (if that's even possible) at the thought of him. Even though I do feel a bit like we've been severed, at least I know it's not forever! Hee. I can't wait to see him again. |

"Wouldn't it be amazing to date someone famous?" I ask Cho, "It would be so glamourous and you would get to go to concerts and parties and wear pretty robes all the time. But then I guess everything you did would be under scrutiny, wouldn't it? Like if you went to a party and your shoe broke or...maybe it's better to date someone normal like Cormac, then. If he noticed me." Me and my tendency to ramble. Hee! (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread) |

At that, my smile falters. Someone famous, like maybe the Hogwarts Triwizard Champion? Yes, I enjoyed that because it was glamourous Precisely. It had nothing to do with the fact that, you know, I liked him as a person or anything. Well, okay, maybe it was fun being in the spotlight all the time, but not when -- that is to say, the glow of fame is not the point. "Right," I respond curtly, "too bad he doesn't notice you."

Er...ouch! Obviously, I hadn't even been thinking of Cedric when I'd made my comment. Cedric had been a wonderful boy, and yes, he'd been well known as a Tri-Wizard Champion, but never in my mind would I have equated him as actually famous in the musician way. Besides, liking the person's a given, Fame is just the icing on top. Maybe. Well, anyway, it hasn't crossed my mind that that's what Cho's thinking, so I just notice that she was unnecessarily rude. "Well, not everyone can be a boy magnet like you," I reply, definitely at least a little bit hurt. (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread) |

Perhaps he's not famous like a musician is famous, but still. How could Mare not realize that's what it'd make me think of? I love Marietta, but she can be so frustrating at times. "Well, too bad they're all Triwizard Champions or the Boy Who Lived!" I shout a bit hysterically. "After all, it's obviously better to date someone normal!" And boring. I don't know what she sees in Cormac anyway. People are beginning to stare at us at this point, but I don't really notice because I'm too busy blinking back the tears that are stinging at the corners of my eyes.

"Considering you could have any boy you wanted, then maybe it would be better to go for someone normal. Rather than breaking rules and risking expulsion just so you can be with Mr 'the Rules don't apply to me like everyone else' Potter!" I spit out, "You know, not all of us have the option to be pretty and popular and then you have to go and flaunt it by deciding to fancy the absolute worst one!" Okay, I think I've probably gone too far, but honestly! We're at the Owl Express concert and I worry about the DA and Harry enough that I don't need Cho snapping at me for a completely innocent comment! (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread) |

"Oh please! Just because you're jealous that Harry likes me doesn't mean you have to pretend Cormac McLaggen is better! Honestly. The idiot ate two pounds of doxy eggs, and I'd bet he wouldn't have been good enough to make the Quidditch team even if he made it to trials." Why does she insist on ruining this concert? My parents paid good money for this, and I chipped in a fair bit too. Seeing Owl Express live is not a chance you get everyday, especially for people like Marietta! But whenever I'm happy and she's not, she just has to go and ruin it. (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread) |

"Jealous? Of Harry Potter? You have got to be kidding me. He's a madman and he's not good for you, but only you would see that as jealousy and Cormac's really nice and...I'm going to the loo." Because I don't want to deal with this right now. I was having so much fun and I'll say more that I really regret if I don't remove myself from Cho's presence right this instant. So grabbing my purse I turn and walk away to the back. I'll come back when I calm down some. (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread) |

Well, fine. I was done with this conversation anyway. With a slight huff, I turn back to the stage and try to concentrate on the music rather than all the people shamelessly staring at me. |
