1. [People always called me...]
mind_the_muse :: People always called me...
People always called me a know-it-all, which in retrospect is kind of amusing. I've always been very booksmart - that just comes naturally to me, and so I can spout of facts on just about any subject, work out problems, what have you. But, there are plenty of things that I never saw coming, never knew would work out the way they did.
For instance, Viktor Krum? Never in a million years did I see that coming. I thought Ronald was laughable about his infatuation for the bloke, but I never thought I'd see him as this rather nice, relatively normal guy who was perfectly sweet and kind to me.
And, during the year that Ronald and I went searching for horcruxes with Harry? There were plenty of things that I didn't understand or even anticipate. There were so many peculiar things just thrown out of absolutely nowhere. Ideas that I actually believed to be textbook and correct didn't always turn out to be. But then, there are so many things tied to Voldemort that I didn't know a thing about. I didn't know the trophy would end up being a portkey - if I was truly such a know-it-all, then perhaps I would have noticed things that were odd, maybe could have somehow impacted that outcome. Harry's gone through so much, and I've done so little to help him - I'm there, of course, but I mean that there are so many things that I truly don't know about. There are only so many things written in textbooks.
But, the thing that I truly didn't know-it-all about was Ronald. That didn't hit me until much later. I could hardly stand him in our first year. And, we were usually having a row more often than not for the majority of our schooling. It took until perhaps the end of our sixth year before I actually considered that I might think of him differently that I thought of Harry. There were moments of strange feelings before that, certainly, but it wasn't so strong until about that time. Looking back though, I feel like I just should've known the moment I met him. But the subject of me and Ronald is anything but textbook!
