Rumor number Seven:

Erika Pinwaters has had three abortions in the past two years.

The list goes on and on. Erika has heard them all, so she is unfazed by any of it. She had had the same kind of stuff spread about her at Durmstrang. Sure, all these rumors prevented her from having any friends at Hogwarts. But if they would believe some silly rumor, then they weren't worthy of being Erika's friend. She'll admit that it did get lonely because she had nobody to talk to, but she could just write about it in her diary. At least that way she didn't keep it bottled up inside.

She was getting perfect grades in every class. Of course she was in Potions because after her little talk with Dumbledore she had been sorted into Slytherin, no shocker there. But this time, she was not getting perfect grades because she had seduced a professor. It was with real magical talent. Before when she had gone to Durmstrang, she had thought that she wasn't good enough for classes, resulting in her act to seduce the professors she had. But now that she was here at Hogwarts, she found out she was actually brilliant in all of her lessons. She'd even heard some of the other Slytherin mocking that she would put the Mudblood Granger a run for her money.

Erika knew the people at Hogwarts would be cruel to her. She ignored them as much as she could, especially Pansy Parkinson. It was hard, Erika will admit. Everything she said made Erika want to cry but she just closed her eyes, counted to ten, blocked out everything, opened her eyes again, and everything was fine.

Everything was going to be fine.

"I hear she had abortion three times already," some girl whispered to her friend. Erika rolled her eyes and kept on walking.

"And that surprises you? Damn, she would go so far as to do a professor just to get a good grade. God only knows what she would do for someone else," the other girl whispered back.

"My cousin, the guy she shagged when she was only thirteen, yeah, his friends told me that she had bribed him. They said she'd give them all the sex they wanted of a hundred galleons," a guy behind her said.

"She's gonna grow up to be a hooker," another boy said.

"No shit Sherlock!"

"If you are going to talk about me, about shit that isn't even true," Erika hissed, turning and looking at everyone, "then at least be a little louder. I'll end up hearing all of it again tomorrow. I know you don't like me and I don't care because I don't like any of you either."

Erika looked over to the girls who had been talking about the abortion thing. "And you two, I have never had an abortion before in my life and I will never need one. If I do end up pregnant, I will be having that baby. And yes, I did make out with a professor to get a good grade. But that is in the past. So leave it alone."

She looked at the boys who were behind her. "I never said that to your 'cousin'. And I seriously doubt that he was your cousin because I never heard that at Durmstrang. It was a one-time thing, there was no money with it. Sure, I heard some people saying I got paid and you know what? I did get paid. I have no shame in that.

"It is my body and my life. I will do what ever I with it. You can spread all the rumors you want and it will not matter. I heard most of the stuff you are saying about me back in Durmstrang. So you know what? Fuck all of you and I hope you fucking burn in hell. Good bye."

With that Erika walked away, leaving them stunned and in silence.

A week had past after the hallway incident and countless more rumors had spread all around Hogwarts. She still had no friends, and she didn't care. Erika didn't need friends. All she needed was her diary, her schoolbooks, food, water, her sanity, and her pride. She did not friends to be happy.

"Why would Dumbledore let some hoe like her into this school," a girl behind her said when it was study hour. "I mean, I know he's made mistakes about letting people in here in the past because he didn't know, but she was in the Prophet, for Merlin's sake! He knew what kind of girl she was and he let her into his school with open arms. I just don't understand it, Katie."

"I think I know why, Demelza," anything girl - must be Katie, Erika thought - said. "Parvati told me that it was either Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, or Azkaban. Since she is only sixteen, I'm guessing Dumbledore didn't want her there. And with Beauxbatons, either their Headmaster didn't want her there to ruin that school or Dumbledore heard of all of their drug problems and pregnancies of the girls there and didn't want that for the girl either."

"Oh please, like she hasn't been on drugs before," Demelza said with a snort. "Look at her, her eyes are black and dilated and she looks like shit -."

"For your information, Demelza," Erika said, looking up from her book and turning toward them, "I have never been on drugs. But does it come with the job description? Does a 'girl like me' need to on drugs, as well? Please, tell me. Oh, and of course, just because my eyes are darker than yours just HAS to mean I'm on drugs, doesn't it? Yes, of course, I'm started to realize just how incredibly stupid you are."

"I'm stupid," Demelza cried, her mouth open. She was staring at Erika like she was crazy. "Please, at least I don't have to go around and sleep with professors to get a good grade in my lessons."

"You don't know what you are talking about," Erika hissed.

"Everybody knows what a little whore you are, Pinwaters! Nobody likes you, and everybody knows the only reason why you get good grades is because you're sleeping with your professors! You don't belong here! Nobody wants you here! You are nothing more than a sleazy, slutty, hoe bag who ne-!"

Her fist flew out from nowhere. All she knew was that one-minute Demelza was yelling at her that she was no good and a slut and everything she'd all ready heard and the next she was on the floor with Erika on top of her, smashing her fists into her face. Blood was coming out, but Erika didn't care. She wanted to do this girl damage.

Demelza was screaming and flailing around, trying to break free of the painful, tight grasp Erika had on her.

"LET ME GO YOU SLUT!!!" Demelza screamed at the top of her lungs. "LET ME GO THIS INSTANT, YOU FUCKING SLU-!!"

"YOU CALL ME A SLUT EVER AGAIN AND I SWEAR I'LL MAKE SURE YOU'LL BE IN THE HOSPITAL WING FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR!!!" Erika yelled just a loud as she continued bashing the poor girls face in.

"DUMBLEDORE WILL HEAR YOU!!! DUMBLEDORE WILL HEARE ME SCREAMING AND HEAR YOU THREATENING ME AND YOU'LL BE OUT OF HERE FOR GOOD!!!"

"NO HE WON'T!!! HE IS IN HIS OFFICE AND HE HAS PERMANATE SILENCING CHARMS IN IT!!!"

"OH AND YOU WOULD KNOW WOULDN'T YOU, YOU FUCKING SLUT!!! YOU WOULD KNOW THAT BECAUSE OF THE COUNTLESS TIMES YOU'VE PROBABLY GIVEN HIM A FUCKING BLO-!!!"

"FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKING BITCH!!! I HOPE YOU FUCKING DIE!!!"

"AT LEAST I'LL DIE WITHOUT A SMUTTY REPUTATION!!! UNLIKE YOU WHO WILL DIE KNOWN AS A FUCKING SLUT!!!"

Erika grabbed her wand out from her robe pocket and pointed it in between her eyebrows, just above her nose.

"Say another fucking word and I swear I will fucking kill you," Erika hissed. She watched in pleasure as she saw Demelza's eyes grow big with fear. She laughed harshly and smirked at her. "Growing up Slytherin has its good points. I've learned curses you could only imagine. I could curse you to bits right now, if I felt like it."

"EXPELLIARMUS!!!" a boys voice yelled. Erika looked at her now empty hand and then up. She was surprised to see that a crowd had formed around her and then she saw a boy with messy, dark raven colored hair and round glasses covering emerald green eyes. Erika knew who he was. He was Harry Potter. She glared at him, then looked down and smirked at Demelza who had blood pouring out of her nose, two swollen eyes, swollen lips, and a bruise forming on her jaw.

"That only a taste of what I can do to you," Erika hissed, then she got up, looked over at Harry, stuck out her hand, and hissed, "Expelliarmus" and her wand was back in her hand in a matter of seconds, as was Potters. She threw it down to the floor and stormed away, ignoring all the shocked and frightened looks they were giving her.
