Genie in a bottle

I feel like

I've been locked up tight

For a century of lonely nights

Waiting for someone

To release me

The moment has finally arrived. Someone will take me out to the Yule Ball... Ronald Weasley, for goodness sake! Couldn't there be a more good looking guy to release me from this predicament? I guess it's better than nothing... without my twin sister Parvati, her date Harry and Ron I would still be locked up. Locked up in my own mind.

I've got an unrivalled intellect. One's mind is one's greatest treasure. I've been wanting to lose mine, ever since I got interested in boys... but not one of them seem to notice me. None from my own house, let alone those from other houses.

I have a crush on Anthony, but I can't have him. He's taking Marietta to the Yule Ball. Ok, she is a Ravenclaw, but she's far too giggly. I don't know what he sees in her. But then again, I don't know what possessed me of agreeing to let Ron take me to the Yule Ball...

The music's playing

And the lights are low

It's one more dance

And we're good to go

Waiting for someone who needs me

Ron is an asshole. He just agreed to go with me for the sake of having a date. If we dance one dance now, it'll be the first.

He only seems interested in Hermione. It's Hermione this and Hermione that. And Hermione has her hands all over Viktor. Why couldn't Viktor have asked me? I wouldn't have rejected him...

But Viktor deosn't need me, nor does Ron. Nor does everyone else. Every boy in this place seems to ignore me, treat me like I'm invisible or something. The only one that see me are girls, like Parvati and Luna.

Hormones racing

At the speed of light

But that don't mean

It's gotta be tonight

Parvati is not too happy either with Harry. They just danced the first dance. I thought Harry seemed to be inclined to dance at least one more dance, but he didn't. Parvati went to dance with a boy from Beauxbatons. Maybe she can find me one of them too!

The anticipation of things to happen is agony, especially when they don't seem to happen. And they didn't seem to happen to my sister, but she took the matter in her own hands... I'm not that brave. I don't dare to do that. Unless Ron makes me... I can be tempted, but it has to get real bad, before I get tempted. It has always been that way and it will always be that way.

If you wanna be with me

Baby there's a price to pay

I'm a genie in a bottle

Gotta rub me the right way

Maybe somewhere in Ron's mind he wanted to be with me, but I can tell that he loves Hermione. A girl with a mind fit for a Ravenclaw... I can't tell why she wasn't sorted in here. But no matter, Ron at least has a date with a Ravenclaw... this Ravenclaw.

I'm not enjoying it much. He doesn't want to dance, while I love to dance. At least once. He's following Hermione from the corner of his eyes. I guess I better go and talk to Parvati...

Parvati found me a nice boy from Beauxbatons. He's really nice and I think I will take him to the closet. That's the most notorious closet of Hogwarts. So much history, so many virginities lost in that closet. Mine will be the next.

I don't want to wait anymore. Losing my virginity is a small price to pay for being set free from the boundaries my mind created for me! Because in the end I'm just a normal girl with normal desires...
