Chapter One

Prologue

Let's get this straight. I'm not pretty and I most definitely, am not popular. In fact, I am what most people would call geeky, dorky, nerdy, okay so you get the point. So I would probably have had a simple life where all I do is study and get good grades and grow up to be a rich old lady, living all alone, except for one tiny thing.

I am in love with James Potter.

And yes, that is a very bad thing. Why, you ask? Because he is everything I'm not. He's hot, popular and very conceited. Though he might think he gets good grades because of his superior brain skills, he gets them from copying off smart peoples' homework and notes.

I suppose it was his looks that attracted me to him. I first saw him by the Hogwarts Express. Do you believe in love at first sight? I do, because that's what happened. At that time I was kind of pretty, so he actually returned my smile. So of course I thought I had a chance. But then I got glasses, braces, and I started putting my hair in a bun (it got in my face whenever I bend over to do homework or something like that) and bam! I was like invisible to him. Well, I reckon it might have been my shyness and dorkiness.

Thank Merlin though, no one knew about my feelings for him except for my best mate, Marcie Grant. She thinks that I would have a chance if I would just let her do a makeover on me. Like that will ever happen. I like the way I look. Okay that was a total lie but I am at least comfortable with the way I look. I mean have you ever looked at James' girlfriends? They have more makeup than Sephora! And I see them preparing themselves in the morning. First they shower and wash their hair. Then they put on various lotion and crèmes and spend like an hour straightening or curling their hair. And makeup. There's always a fight for the mirrors!

Of course I don't spend that long in the bathroom during the mornings. All I do is shower, dry my hair, put it in a bun, take of my nighttime contacts and put on my glasses, and apply chapstick on the way to the Great Hall. See? Simple and time conserving. I use my extra time to review my notes and perfect my homework.

Marcie, on the other hand is totally beautiful and glamorous. She looks exactly (and probably better) than a Barbie doll. Marcie has this incredible wavy blond hair and huge sparkling blue eyes. She's tall (5'7) and is perfect in everything that she does. Marcie, unlike me, is popular with everyone and I still can't believe how she happened to be my bestest friend ever.

Okay so moving on. I am so sure that you all know about me and James. Yeah, yeah, I hate him he loves me, we got married, had Harry, and died. An about our times at Hogwarts, he chases me I reject him every time, I am beautiful, he's hot. PLEASE PEOPLE! That is so not the real story. I mean, yeah I guess most of it is true, BUT there's a whole new story underneath it all.

And that's the story that you are about to read.

So here's a question for you: I was a dork, a nerd, a geek, a total loser. He was popular, hot, smart, had tons of girlfriends. I love him, he loves me not. So how the hell did we wind up together?

Well, something happened of course. Something totally…
