Rowan Norson was your typical witch. She went to Hogwarts, was sorted into Ravenclaw, and had a considerable amount of friends. At least, she was until the accident.
Bitten, they said. A miracle that she's here, they said. Lucky she is, they said.
So if she was so lucky, then why did it all go wrong?
Friends left, rumors were made, bully's came. Abanded when she needed them the most. With no friends and a horrible reputation, Rowan felt alone.
Until one day, he came. He came, with the small smiles and shy looks. He came. He was friendly, he was kind. He didn't join in their laughter, didn't say mean things. He stood up for her, was her friend.
But, like everything else in her life, it was bound to go horribly wrong.
