▬▬▬▬
Halfway through her first year, Fionn Yeboah tired of the Slytherins laughing in their cups about her—House Hufflepuff's brightest student whose half-blood mother went raving mad. So, like any other girl at her wit's end, Fionn did something about it. Days later, no one could explain exactly why mushrooms were sprouting from the heads of every single Slytherin first year. Madam Pomfrey cursed this new generation of hellraisers as a line of over a hundred students stretched out her hospital wing door.
"No doubt it was Professor Sprout's little prodigy," muttered Bellatrix Black to anyone who would listen, combing withered portobellos from her black curls. "Yeboah's as mad as her mother. You've heard the story, haven't you? Giving birth to Fionn made the woman insane. That is an omen in itself."
Yet no Slytherin dare say such things in Fionn's presence. Not anymore. Humbling her detractors became Fionn's favorite pastime. A spot in Hogwarts' dueling club secured her high rank on the social hierarchy, for no one had insulted her once they learned the accuracy of her magic. She studied dusk till dawn to stay first in her House, she made friends with the other ambitious prodigies in her year, she raised her hand in every class and always gave the correct answer. All so nobody would think she was cursed. All to escape the reminders of her mother's hatred.
For the first time in her life, Fionn found that she had worth. She could belong in this turbulent tide of witchcraft and politics. When Headmaster Dumbledore offers her a job in the Order of the Phoenix upon graduation, Fionn readily accepts.
