Nice. With some practice, you could be a really great writer. However, right now, what's annoying me are the cliches.
-- Why is the whole "growing up in the attic" thing necessary?
-- Seriously. NO ONE else is standing up for the bullied kid? Does this actually happen in real life?
-- How does she know martial arts or whatever?
-- Oh, perfect. The shy Otaku girl See More▼

1. Thank you.
2. The growing up in the attic thing is because I want to make her life kinda similar to Harry's.
3. It stated in the book that no one dared to stand up for Harry.
4. She takes classes because she hates bullies and for the purpose of beating them up.
5. She's not shy, she just is usually quiet because she doesn't see the point of being loud and See More▼

4. Just a tip, though: It would be cooler if she somehow taught herself martial arts.
6. Read it yesterday and apparently forgot this very important piece of info XD

3. I know, I just don't understand how literally NO ONE would stick up for him. I've been homeschooled all of my life, so maybe that's just a bit unreal to me.
4. So they provide self defense classes but lock her in the attic? Now I'm VERY confused...

3. It does! I just read it.
4. No, she fought them before that, but when she came home with proof of her sucking at fighting, Her adoptive parents decided that if she was going to fight, she at least should fight well. Idk why I'm basically telling out her story here.

1. You're welcome.
2. Ooooh, gotcha. It's kind of cliched, but I can deal.
3. I guess.
4. Wait... She spends a bunch of money (martial arts classes are freaking expensive, at least the good ones; I take them) just to take classes to beat up bullies? Why does this make her sound messed up?
5. Um, gotcha...
