(Y/N) is a young witch who runs an orphanage for abused and mistreated children who possess magical abilities. She is called to a scene of a young boy who refuses to let any of Aurors close to him. Fearing that he'll turn into his Obscurus form, they call in (Y/N), who they believe can get through to the boy and care for him. (Y/N) manages to earn the boy's trust and takes him under her wing. The two become inseparable, both helping each other: Him learning his true magic capabilities and (Y/N) learning the truth about her past.

Trigger Warnings:

• Abuse and the aftermath of past abuse (as if that wasn't already obvious though)
• Possible reference to self-esteem issues (is that a trigger)
• Non-graphic depictions of violence
