Note
This fanfic does not take place before or after the Battle of Hogwarts. It is mostly somewhat an AU, with an OC involved. That being said, yes, Dumbledore is still Headmaster.This is something I've written years ago, but thought I'd share! I'm uploading works from my Wattpad on here. Hope you enjoy!

Magnilda Marten, Year 6

Magnilda Marten made her way toward the Hogwarts library, a rather large, thick book clutched in her arms. She wished she was able to walk faster, but instead stayed a slow, almost leisure pace, as if the book were a yearling. Yes, she was afraid of dropping the book; she always believed books needed tender love and care. She adored them greatly---in fact, so greatly, that she did, indeed, treat them as if they were helpless infants. Magnilda Marten was a sitxh year Ravenclaw student whom took pride in her effort of work and intelligence. Sometimes, however, she would slack off---something she hates and scowls at herself for doing. Some of the students in other Houses---including Slytherin---think she is completely crazy with all the reading and studying she manages. The Slytherins enjoy bullying her, espically Draco Malfoy, whom was like the king of the bullies but to Magnilda, just some unintelligent pureblood brat who had nothing else to do but cause trouble. And he was going to cause that trouble now.

As Magnilda nearly reached the library, Malfoy had appeared behind(the Ravenclaw must have not heard him behind her, too occupied with the mental list of new books she should borrow), managing to shove the book out of her arms and to the floor. Magnilda stared in utter horror and turned round on the boy with disgust and anger burning in her eyes. "What is your problem?!" she yelled furiously, bending down to pick up the copy of A History On Hogwarts' Great Founders, one of her favorites. Malfoy had only smirked. "I have no problems, however, you do, Marten." he simply said. Once Magnilda had picked up the book, she could only glare at the white-blonde haired Slytherin. He and the other Slytherins had always teased her about her last name. Sometimes they would even tease her and transfigure objects into the ferret-like animal just to annoy her and make her last name sound like it was the funniest they've ever heard. But none of it ever bothered Magnilda. She believed in order to be intelligent, she must endure childness. Well, it seemed she was having a hard time doing that now. A book was knocked from her hands, though, how could she endure a precious book getting thrown onto a floor?

"At least I have the intellgence that you, obviously, lack." Magnilda had finally replied smartly before walking away, the book once more clutched in her arms. Malfoy stared after her, as if silenced, glaring at her. But, seeing no point in bothering her, walked off to bully somebody less "full of books" and "studying". But he would come back to her. The Ravenclaw had now entered the library, going up to the librarian's desk. Madam Pince the librianian looked at her through spectacles perched on her nose. "Have a book to return, Miss Marten?" she had wondered in a kind voice. Madnilda was probably one of the only students that Madam Pince adored. She was a fantastic student, priding in her reading and studying. She was very careful with the handling of books, and agreed with the libranian that they ought to be more cared for. However, despite being an amazing Ravenclaw student, Magnilda never boasted about it, and no matter how proud, was never in anyone's face about it. Madam Pince actually enjoyed her company in the library because she was so quiet, that when she turned the page to a book, it made no sound. Magnilda thought books as delicate and beautiful, just as Madam Pince had.

"Oh, yes. Here you are, Madam Pince," Magnilda replied, carefully handing over the thick book. Madam Pince smiled and took the book. This side of the libranian was unlike her, but the Ravenclaw didn't seem to notice. Afterwards Magnilda had walked into the rows upon rows of bookshelves containing precious books. She was just browsing a section, when she saw a boy next to her, searching for a book. He pulled out a big book on plants and went over to a table. Magnilda stared. She felt intrigued by the Gryffindor boy how he had interest in the Wizarding World's plants and herbs. The boy was tall and a bit strange-looking, with dark brown hair. And then, that's when Magnilda recknogized him. He was the boy who constantly got picked on by Malfoy and his fellow bullies Crabbe and Goyle. He was probably the most to get bullied, for a Gryffindor. Most thought he belonged in Hufflepuff.

It was Neville Longbottom.
