Justified Death or Disastrous: Did Muggle Parents Rose and Robert Green Die in Vain?

Fourteen-Years-Ago, when two-year-old Faye Sutherland disappeared; Muggleborn witch, Teddie Green appeared at number 15, Spinner's End. Her parents, Rose, and Robert Green were workers at the old mill and hotel at the end of their street. Two diligent muggles that didn't deserve their lives to be turned upside down.

Were Caroline Sutherland's decisions to hide her own niece with a Muggle family justified, or did she and Faye get the two killed last year?

Teddie felt her body shake as she snatched the newspaper from the table, rolled it into a crumpled ball, and threw it into the fireplace. It hit the back of the grate and bounced forward into the flames, the parchment blackening and curled as the fire licked at its corners, bending them inward as it disintegrated

The Ministry were trying to blame her for her parents' death. As if she would've had anything to do with Rose and Robert Green had she been old enough to decide. But she had been two when she had come to live with them and could barely remember the day herself. If what Snape and Caroline had said was true, then her memories of that day had been wiped to enforce the illusion that she was a Muggleborn witch and a not a Halfblood run away.

It was the spells that had contributed to the episodes Teddie had experienced as a child. The blackouts she would have whenever she was angry or scared, but mostly anger. She could remember several occasions where one minute she was fine, and the next she had done something 'freaky' as the other kids called it, and something had either blown up, changed form or colour, or someone had got hurt.

None of her doctors had ever been able to diagnose her, and they had searched for all the usual issues - bipolar, schizophrenia, psychosis, but all test results had come back negative. In the end she was diagnosed with irrational anger issues and sentenced to Anger Management with her school. When that had failed, she was expelled for reasons unknown - although Teddie was sure it was because of the shouting match she had got into with the school psychologist - and she'd been moved to another school.

She had attended three schools by the time she was eleven years old, and the secondary school that would take her was the one furthest away from her home in Spinners End. Of course, her parents had no idea that what was happening to her was due to magic, being Muggles, they didn't even know about the Wizarding World until Severus Snape, her next-door neighbour, turned up on her doorstep one day in late August, with a letter and an explanation.

After that, everything sort of fell into place.

She was a witch. She wasn't 'different,' 'weird,' or 'freaky.' She had a legitimate reason for why all these strange things were happening to her or happening to people around her.

At times, Teddie wished that her knowledge of the Wizarding World had stopped when she received her letter. There was times that she wished that she could just be a normal Muggleborn witch at Hogwarts, a normal girl that attended a secret school and learned about magic and all things that made her little brother Mason so excited about.
