Rosemary Slytherin, a sleep-deprived witch who inherited her family's curse; just wants her school years to be as quiet as possible...and yet, Harry Potter embarks on his first year at Hogwarts.
Rosemary must be weary and must decide whether or not...

Lying in the poppy fields was stupid. Rosemary was bound to get rashes from all the grass digging into her skin.
It had been a very hectic week...
Trying to give Harry his Hogwarts letter was a nightmare. No matter how hard she tried he never received it. Vernon had done his utmost to prevent the letter from reaching him and Rosemary had quickly given up, leaving it to Hagrid. If anyone could do it, it was him.
Today was now Sunday and she hadn't slept for two whole days; vision problems. Her great-grandmother and Atsuya were cooking in the kitchen, while Aldrich was out on business (meaning he was drinking with friends).
Hearing the leaves crunch behind, she tilted her head to see her great-grandmother staring down at her with a bright smile.
"I wondered where you went, lunch is almost done."
Rosemary groaned and rolled over to her side. "I'm not hungry."
Toshiko frowned and took a seat next to her. "Being patient is a great strength, things don't always end up the way we want them to," Toshiko spoke in Japanese whilst threading her fingers through Rosemary's black hair. "Did you not say you wanted a cut?"
"I did, but Atsuya cried. Told me my hair was short enough." Rosemary rolls over to face her grandmother and sighed.
"That does sound like him." Toshiko laughs at the boy's antics. He was always so dramatic.
Sitting up Rosemary felt the breeze touch her skin, shivering at the feeling. Toshiko gently brushes some of her messy hair away.
"Let's go have lunch. I made Okonomiyaki for you."
Rosemary's head perked up and she immediately stood with energy.
Walking back to the cottage a black cat jumps onto her shoulders, snuggling into her neck.
"Nao, you're getting heavy again." Said Rosemary grabbing him off her and cradling him in her arms. The cat lets out a purr, not caring about his owner's words.
Monday soon came and according to the letter Hagrid sent to her yesterday evening, he was going to go get Harry himself and wanted her to come with him. She agreed. It was better than doing nothing. Besides, she wanted to see how Harry was.
Atsuya and Rosemary were outside sitting on the steps of the veranda, watching the grey clouds in the sky. "It's going to storm. Are you going to be alright?"
"I'll be okay."
"I got a letter from my brother yesterday." Rosemary slouches forward looking at her cousin.
"Did he tell you to stay away from me again?"
"...yeah."
Rosemary was aware that Seiya Matsuzaki did not like her. After what happened when they were children, she understood. Rosemary's curse was only sprouting and it was he that paid the price. Shaking his hand sent him to despair...a severe illusion of his darkest fears.
