PICK ME EW!

Intro  **Title:** *The Chronicles of Liliana Pickworth* **Chapter 1: The Arrival** Liliana Pickworth had always longed for attention. From the moment she stepped off the Hogwarts Express, she made it her mission to stand out. With her perfectly styled hair and carefully curated wardrobe, Liliana was determined to be the most popular girl in school. "Everyone will know my name," she thought to herself as she made her way to the Great Hall for the Sorting Ceremony. As the Sorting Hat was placed on her head, it didn't take long for it to shout, "Slytherin!" Liliana beamed with pride, already envisioning herself at the center of every gathering, the star of every story. **Chapter 2: The Quest for Popularity** Liliana quickly learned the art of being a "pick me" girl. She went out of her way to be noticed, volunteering for every task, making sure her voice was the loudest in every conversation. In Potions class, she would flutter her eyelashes at Professor Snape, claiming to need extra help, even when she didn't. "I just want to learn from the best," she'd say sweetly, earning eye rolls from her classmates. Her efforts didn't go unnoticed, and soon enough, she was surrounded by a group of admirers. However, the attention she craved came at a cost. Her constant need for validation alienated her from genuine friendships, and she found herself feeling lonely despite being surrounded by people. **Chapter 3: The Turning Point** One day, during a particularly challenging Transfiguration lesson, Liliana's facade began to crack. She had spent so much time trying to impress others that she hadn't focused on her studies. As Professor McGonagall asked her to demonstrate a complex spell, Liliana hesitated, her confidence waning. "Pickworth, are you prepared?" McGonagall's stern voice echoed through the classroom. Liliana attempted the spell, but Failed?! eh
