Rachel was sitting in a little spot on the Ravenclaw table by herself, eating some shepherd's pie, looking rather glum. The first day was NOT how she expected it to me. Sure, her visions of stardom and popularity on the first day were a little far fetched, but they were not impossible.
But they didn't even come close to happening. Nope. For some reason, her reputation was already established as being one of the many, labelled "unpopular ones"
So here she was, eating her dinner all by herself.
