I never thought I&#8217;d say it, but I so hate her. She is a  fake friend, a phoney, and a poseur. We were best friends, swimming in  the same cave, going to the same school. When I started dating Derek,  she acted like she was all happy and stuff. She said how he was so cute,  all pigmentless and eyeless and all. The three of us would go foraging  for bat droppings together. I was so happy that my best friend and my  boyfriend hit it off &#8212; I didn&#8217;t think anything of it when she&#8217;d suggest  they do things together when I was busy. Well, you can guess the rest. I  can&#8217;t believe I was so stupid! Now he&#8217;s my ex-boyfriend and Heather&#8217;s  my ex-best friend. I am so depressed. Here&#8217;s a picture of us in happier  times.

I have to know what happens to Snape! Please! (By the way,  that cave you described in The Half-Blood Prince was pretty cool.) So hurry up, lady!

Isn&#8217;t that a cool name? I  live in the dark, deep, still waters of a cave and my thoughts and  feelings are like still, dark, and deep waters that run deep, still, and  dark. I&#8217;m going to share my dreams and hopes: I&#8217;m going to rant and  rave about culture and art and history and philosophy and science and  maybe even throw a little original poetry at ya.
