[Harry Potter] What Should I Do? The Professor Hates Me Too Much

Why not look for the problem in yourself when a professor picks on you? You got an A on an assignment you could have gotten an E on, so why not look for the problem in yourself? You get called on more than a dozen times in one class, so why not look for the problem in yourself? The same person catches you sneaking around at night every time, so why not look for the problem in yourself? Every time you say something bad about Riddle, he hears you, so why not look for the problem in yourself? Why does Riddle only pick on you? Why are you the only one who has to do extra assignments? Why not blame yourself for everything? *********** You keep saying to look for the problem in myself, look for the problem in myself. Even when I lose points, I have to look for the problem in myself. But it has nothing to do with me, so how am I supposed to find a problem in myself? Tell me, what am I supposed to do? I go to class, and the Marauders are off pulling pranks. I haven't even made it to the classroom, and they're nowhere to be seen, but Riddle says I knew about it and didn't report them, then takes points off. What am I supposed to do? The Marauders are at it again, acting like jerks. Sirius is over there cackling like a madwoman, "Ahahahahaha!" while pointing his wand at Severus and cursing him. James is casting a Blinding Flash at Lily, going, "Ah~ I'll make you scream~" And Remus is over there saying, "It hurts, it hurts so much," while joining in on the pranks. Tell me, what am I supposed to do, huh? You put me in a group full of **, how am I supposed to win? I'm picked on until I die, docked points until I die, and then Riddle's fan club comes along in detention and says, "Aw, why don't you look for the problem in yourself a little more?" *** The Marauders' Era An AU where Tom Riddle is the Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. A story about a mean-spirited professor who wants to use a student for an emotional experiment, only to lose control of the game and genuinely fall for her. The heroine is Lyudmila Shafiq, a fifth-year Slytherin who loves Fantastic Beasts. She has a rich inner emotional life, though she is a little expressionless, and she's sharp-tongued. Theme: Even a snake that looks harmless on the outside may be venomous.
