Bullying
Andrea's POVI ran along the sidewalk, trying to hurry to my new school. I couldn't be late on my first day! As I skidded into the schoolyard, my gaze flitted to an unusual scene in the far corner, near the chalk area. A large boy was throwing a smaller, lighter boy around, with his friends laughing cruelly nearby.
I looked around at the other students, wondering why no one was stopping this obvious bullying. They all were carefully avoiding that section of the yard, averting their eyes and hunch ing their shoulders if they got too close to the gang.
My gaze hardened.
That was it. Everyone was too scared to stand up to them. Well, if this gang thought they could beat people up without consequences, they had another thing coming. I rolled up my sleeves and set my binder and manga on a wall, before marching overy there.
I tapped the lage bully on the shoulder and put my other hand on my hip. "Excuse me."
He turned around and shoved me to the ground. "Don't bother me, shrimp."
His friends laughed and pointed at me. One of the skinnier ones sneered at me and turned to the one who has shoved me. "Big D, show her what happend when she interuppts you. She needs some breaking in."
I suddenly laughed, getting off the ground.
"Pathetic. I hate bullies lIke you. Don't fool around with me. If you want to live another day, leave that boy alone, and get out of the way."
The first bully's face twisted into something cruel and angry. He swung at me, and I sidestepped the punch.
I tsked at him and cracked my knuckles. "Looks lIke we'll have to do this the hard way."
I crouched down suddenly and swept his legs from under him, making him fall hard to the ground. Before he could get up, I jumped on his chest and kicked his chin, his head snapping back and hitting the ground. His eyes rolled up, showing that he was unconcious. I stepped off of him, and glared at hisfriends.
"Any of you want to be next?" They all shook their heads and ran away. I smirked. "That's what I thought."
Harry's POV
I stared at the girl who had single-handedly taken down Dudley without a scratch, and scared off the rest of his friends. No one had stood up for me before.
She turned around and gave me a sweet smile. "Hey, are you alright? My name's Andrea, what's yours?" She extended a hand to help me off the ground. I gratefully took it, and smiled back at her.
"Harry. Harry Potter."

-- 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▼ can apparently knock an older jock unconscious.
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▼ attention-grabbing.
6. Read it yesterday and apparently forgot this very important piece of info XD
6. It's only memorable if you have read it less than a year ago. XD
6. It was apparently not very memorable.
4. So they provide self defense classes but lock her in the attic? Now I'm VERY confused...
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.
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...
