I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED NEXT!!! NOW!!!!
Mrunal wrote: "I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED NEXT!!! NOW!!!!"I DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENS EITHER. I DIDN’T WRITE MUCH FUTHER.
Mrunal wrote: "I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED NEXT!!! NOW!!!!"Apparently I wrote an alternate version to the same scene. You want to read that?
Mrunal wrote: "YES! NOW!"Ok!
I had written this first, but then I cut it out from that scene. Seems like I changed my mind.
Here-
My other close friend was Nishka Das. Well she was friends with everyone at school. She had something about her, more precisely her eyes that made her seem the most friendly person on the planet. She was actually quiet and didn’t talk when it was not necessary. But when she did, she knew exactly what to say. She was also known to be a good lister. That’s also the reason I always went to her for advice. Well it’s safe to say that she was sorted in Hufflepuff for a reason.
I didn’t actually know much about Nishka's personal life when he thought about it. I knew most of her family was dead and that she’s an Indian. She has a mother who didn’t bother much about her life and she doesn’t seem to complain. I also knew she’s pureblood. Well she wasn’t that stereotypical pureblood who hates Muggleborns and Muggles, she was quite the opposite actually. So when I reached our usual compartment and didn’t see Nishka in it I was shocked. Even if the World was on fire and everyone was hexing each other you’d still find her on time. Now that was a bit dramatic but you got my point. She was always early.
“Where’s Das?” I asked Fred.
Yes, I call her Das because it’s short and I’m too lazy to say Nishka.
“I haven’t seen her since morning. Maybe she’s silting with Hailey.”
Now that’s a bit odd. Das always told us if she was planning on sitting with her other friends. Maybe she just forgot.
“So,” I asked Fred, “Have you come up with a prank idea?”
The thought of a prank alone could leave Fred’s eyes to sparkle. We talked about some easy pranks like putting dungbombs in the toilets and setting fireworks in the grounds. Then our compartment door slid open and there was a very pretty girl I had never seen before, with short black hair dressed in black. She sat down next to Fred and I blinked.
“Can I help you?” I asked politely.
That just seemed to have made her stare at him. There was something about her that was familiar. My own eyes widened at that thought.
She was Das.
“Shit,” was all he said.
In all honesty she looked completely different. Her long, wavy hair were shoulder length and her clothes weren’t colourful. Her eyes lost that friendly twinkle, and they were just cold. Expressionless.
“What happened?” Fred asked, looking at her with concern.
Something was just wrong here. Completely wrong.
“My cousin decided to pay a visit,” She said and her tone was flat.
“And?”
“He decided my mom should try to get a proper job. Something more than research. So she applied for the Defence Professor job. And she got it. She’s also teaching a new course for wandless magic.”
Both James and Fred just stared at her. This wasn’t so bad, I heard that Nishka mom was an Auror before, and she’s great at wandless magic. But if it was going to change Das so much then he didn’t think it was a good idea.
“That doesn’t explain the change in your attire.” I said slowly.
She didn’t answer for a minute, then she went on.
“My mother hates colour, of any kind. Blacks best for her. After what she’s been through, I wouldn’t blame her. As for my hair, I look exactly like her when it’s long so I wanted to cut it off.”
That was the end of this discussion.
That’s all I have with theses characters. :)
Oh. This is great too. But the previous version was better.
Mrunal wrote: "Oh. This is great too. But the previous version was better."Yes, I liked that one more too. I think that’s why I cut it out. :)
I think the first one was from James PoV in his 7th year, and the other 2 were in 5th year or something...
Any criticisms?I guess I’ll edit it soon. :)
Not exactly criticism, but I found a mistake. You have written it in 1st person pov, but some sentences are 3rd person pov. It's not that big of an issue, but you asked for it.
Mrunal wrote: "Not exactly criticism, but I found a mistake. You have written it in 1st person pov, but some sentences are 3rd person pov. It's not that big of an issue, but you asked for it."Ooh yes!
I always find it hard to choose, so I write all scene of anything I’m working on from both POV’s. Then I copy paste and edit stuff.
I will fix that. Thanks. :)
By the way, does anyone have any recs for books with characters actually ‘like other girls’ ?
Also I’m sorry Trisha for spamming your nook...

I can’t believe I wrote her like that, considering HOW MUCH I hate this trope now.
