It was an unusual day at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, for it had been discovered by a muggle. This, however, was no ordinary muggle. Her name was Erin Creevey, and she was a squib. And Erin was bitter. Erin found Hogwarts through cunning and deceit. She purchased school robes while with her brothers in Diagon Alley (she slipped away while they were goggling at brooms), and she blended in with the students on Platform 9 ¾ enough to be able to slip onto the Hogwarts Express. Once at Hogwatrs, she hid outside until the Sorting Ceremony was over, then seated herself at the Slytherin table. From then on, she became just another student.
It was a crazy day for Draco Malfoy. A Slytherin girl named Erin Creevey was infatuated with him. She followed him around everywhere, and stared at him when he was sitting in the common room. The odd thing was, though, he never saw her in class. She seemed to slip away just as he walked into a classroom door. This irked Draco very much. One day, Draco was so fed up that he turned around and shouted the most hateful thing he could come up with: "Stop following me you filthy Mudblood!" The entire hall gasped, but none were as shocked as Erin. She thought that Draco had figured out her secret. Erin was very distressed because her one love had become a danger to her very existence. So one night, Erin snuck into Draco's dormitory. She raised Draco's wand, and with scanty happiness in her heart, whispered "petrificus totalus." From that moment on, Erin locked herself in a broom closet and stared at the petrified Draco. Nobody wondered or cared why they never saw either of them again.
