What makes you jealous, and how do you deal with it?
I'm jealous of people who don't have to struggle through every day, just to remember the simplest things. I suppose I'm just a little dim, but it's not like I do it on purpose. I forget things I know I heard yesterday, and it just ends up disappointing most people, and getting other people angry. Like in Potions.
Frankly, Snape scares the bejeezus out of me. It'd be far better if I didn't have to worry about him, though I don't know if I'd prefer being a Slytherin, or just doing better. Wait, what am I saying? I know I don't want to be in Slytherin, I just wish I could do everything better. The problem with my messing up is it's actually my fault. When Snape yells at any of the other Gryffindors, it's usually for stupid reasons (I mean, yelling at Hermione because she's answering questions correctly? It's just not-- it's not very nice!), but with me, I deserve it.
I deal with it by... I don't know. By taking it, I guess. I let Snape walk all over me, I go to all of my other classes, even if it's hard for me to remember what we've just done. The frustrating thing is, I feel like everything I know is right there, but I can't get to it, so I'm hoping if I keep on trying, I'll magically get it. I mean, it's not likely, but I just won't give up.
