An: Daphne Greengrass ruminating on the topic of her sister. For anyone who cares, in my little version of Harry Potter, Titus Greengrass (from Fraternizing is an Ugly Word) is their father. Not that you need to know that to read this. Enjoy.

For Once

Of course he preferred her. Everyone did. I don't know how it happened. I am the oldest; it is my birthright to be the adored one, the worshipped one. But no. No, of course, everyone loves her. With her big brown eyes, and the dark blonde hair. With her prowess in magic and skill at dancing. Of course he chose her.

It's not that I wanted him, exactly, you understand. But he picked her over me. She is younger than me. How is it fair that she got beauty, brains and the boy? I try not to care. But it would be nice to be recognised for once. To be noticed for once. To be chosen for once.
