Get the Doing a Potter mug.Some dumb whore who dropped out of school and wound up pregnant. Not suprising though. All through the years of school (that we was in) she didnt come back after freshman year.. she was always a low class hoe. Obviously her tits arent real but she wont ever admit it. People say shes so "strong" but really she just tells people her buisness for attention. No one cares what shes been through shes still some dumb cunt who takes all the guys attention away with her fake ass self. She likes to lie about things to get attetion like her mom having cancer and dieing, everyone thinks shes a dumbass, attenchion whore.
