COME INTO MY WORLD
-------------------- SEE THROUGH MY EYES.[/color][/font][/center]
The one thing I want to leave my children is an honorable name.
-- Theodore RooseveltHey there! My name’s Nicole Ariana Longbottom. I was born on 30 December 2030. My father named me Nicole. I like to think it’s because my grandfather’s name started with the same letter, so he cracked his brains to come up with a name that started with it. Ariana is after my dad’s best friend. It’s a lovely name, so I’m not too upset about it. And Longbottom. Well, there can be better last names out there, that’s for sure. But when your grandfather famously hacked the head off a giant snake that held a piece of Voldemort’s soul in it and is now the Headmaster of Hogwarts, you learn to live with it.
I don't care what people call me, labels have the negative value of making smaller boundaries for people.
-- Michael GravesOh, I know what you’re thinking. A Longbottom. She must surely be in Gryffindor. Let’s not forget my grandfather married Hannah Abbott. My grandma, bless her soul, is a Hufflepuff. And that’s where my father and uncle went into. That’s where my three older siblings went into as well. I’ll tell you more about them later. This is about me, right? So they all got into Hufflepuff, which is a somewhat awesome house. But me? I got sorted into Slytherin. Yes, I see your horrified gasp and widened eyes. People assume that by getting into Slytherin, I’m going to raise hell on earth and create chaos everywhere. Darling, they’re forgetting what the Longbottoms went through during the previous wars. Frank and Alice Longbottom ring any bells? Yeah, they’re no longer around, but I’m not going to go all evil and become just like the people who caused my great grandparents to go insane. I have my own opinions about those people but I’ll save you the lecture. I am after all, only fourteen. People should be lecturing me, not the other way around.
Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.
-- Jane HowardI like my family. What? Alright, fine. I love my family. How could I not? You’ve obviously never been to one of our family dinners. It’s not one of those family dinners where you sit down and there’s silence. Not just normal silence, but awkward silence. I hate awkward silences. Longbottom dinners are lovely. There’s always conversation going on, mostly between me and Nate. Nathaniel Colin Longbottom. He’s my older brother. He’s fifteen and if you dare make fun of him because he’s in Hufflepuff, I will end you. Or try to. I need to master that Bat Bogey Hex first. I have a sister, her name’s Jocelyn Hannah Longbottom. While we’re not as close as Nate and I, we do get along. She’s my only sister after all. We have to go on girly shopping trips and gush over cute guys together. And finally, you have my eldest brother. Daniel Marcus Longbottom. Danny! I like to bug the hell out of him, because I can. It comes with being the youngest, you know? Do I need to mention how my parents are like? I think you’ve gathered by now that my parents are great people who raised good children. Even if Danny’s still living with them and I’m in Slytherin.
Personality has power to uplift, power to depress, power to curse, and power to bless.
-- Paul HarrisI don’t know who I am. Sure, I can give you that crap about how I’m adventurous, ambitious, impulsive, clumsy (it’s part of a Longbottom nature, I’m very certain about that), silly, irresponsible, passionate, feisty, interfering, attention seeking, tolerant, sneaky, tough and indecisive. But really, I’m still a teenager. Who know how I’ll end up like?
I might be adventurous now; I always did like to explore places forbidden to me, but I could end up a paranoid old lady who jumps when someone even glances at her the wrong way. I’ve been told I should be less impulsive and when tend to blow all my savings on a brand new broom, I agree. Because I’m left with nothing when I go to Hogsmeade. That’s when I tag along with Joce or Nate. So they’ll buy me sweets. Can you really blame me for seeking attention? I’m the youngest of four children. And it’s not like our age gap is far apart. I’m only four years younger than Danny. I often wonder how my parents took care of us. We must have been a handful. Father always told me I cried a lot when I was younger if he left me alone for too long. Being in Slytherin sure got me attention. To see the look on Grandpa’s face… it was hilarious. Still is.
Now, I know how to stand up for myself when I get bullied. I may be small, but watch out if you annoy me. I will send a hex at you faster than you can get your wand out. Provided I master that hex. It’s really very annoying when I get a spell wrong. I get laughed at and get even more pissed. On the bright side, the Professors more or less think the other students are disturbing me. No, I’m not very good at my studies, but I try. I do have dreams of becoming someone in the Wizarding World one day and I know I can’t do that without necessary qualifications.
I like Quidditch. It’s fun to watch. Joce likes it too. She’s a Seeker and I'm a Keeper for my house. I do it more for having something to do. I don’t love it to the point where I want to do it for the rest of my life like Linus does, but it’s all good fun. Yes, I’m full of surprises, am I not? First a Slytherin and now a Quidditch player? Stayed tuned, I might just give you even more surprises along the way.
