*****************"Why won't you just leave me alone!" I said frustrated and nearing my tipping point."Because I find you intriguing." He said coming closer."And why would you? We are very different if you don't know." I said moving away trying to look at anything but him."Different, how so?" He said entering my personal space once more."Umm ... one word. SKIN." I said moving farther away from him hitting the wall. Wow, cliché much."Skin doesn't matter." He said closing the gap.******************In a world, where racism seems to be dialling down, Nifemi Adefarasin is unfortunate to find herself in one community which is a bit backwards, a community that believes in the notion black and whites do not mix ... but one night changes her life forever.Follow Nifemi's adventure as she tries to make the right choice either following the rules like she has done her whole life or breaking the norms.

Libraries. That's where Harry Potter loved to spend his time. You'd think so, too, with just a look at him - big, round glasses sellotaped in the middle, a scrawny build (although mainly due to lack of proper nutrition) and a pale complexion (as an added perk of bein shut in his cupboard for entire summers). Nor did his half-dead eyes help - until one day, he stumbles on an letter thrown out by a muggle-born who chose not to mingle with the magic world......"I don't think he was ever meant to be an average wizard. Ever since that fateful day on July 31st. And another one in October.""I just hoped he'd have a normal childhood. Well - about as normal as it can get in a school that teaches magic.""All hopes of normal for him were dashed the moment he got that scar, that mark, Dumbledore. Absolutely none."_________________________________________________________Plot belongs to me.All the rest belongs to JK Rowling.Exceptions - 1) OCs I'd introduce (read the damn books 1-7 and them alone, if the character isn't there, then it isn't the the book.)2) Some Worldviews ( There are some - if not many - inconsistencies with quite a few points. Therefore, I shall change them.)All characters depicted in this work are fictional. Any resemblances to real people are purely coincidental.Constructive comments and criticism are welcome. Pure, unadulterated praise, even more so. Unreasonable hate comments and declarations similar to "It's Harem, I'm out" or "I hate how Ron is depicted, I'm out" or even "You haven't let them kiss yet, I'm out" are not entertained. If you don't read, it's on you. It doesn't hurt me. It doesn't hurt others. We don't need to waste cloud space on a useless comment. Just leave silently.I'm sorry if anyone was offended, but I've seen stupid comments too many times, and as a college student nearing internship, I doubt I have the time to read absolutely stupid entries.…
