Iris Selwyn doesn't know how she ended up at Wools Orphanage, nor does she know much about anything, she learns when she meets Tom; a closed-off boy with an unsettling air about him, and further more, the boy all the other children are terrified of. For some reason, however, Tom seems to tolerate Iris. Why? She doesn't know- but it's clear that nothing good can come from this unlikely friendship.. but it's her, so of course she befriends him anyway, despite the insanity that shines through not long after. Extract: (Tom) "Stop being so naive. You forget how long I have been at this orphanage. Did you never stop to think why I have not simply wasted away just as the others have? It's because I have leaned how to survive, Selwyn. I alone have managed to make something of myself. I alone have changed my fate." Extract (2): "He wasn't a good person" she said simply. Her body felt heavy, suddenly, as if her limbs and facial muscles had tiny weights attached to them. "Neither am I" Tom said, watching her steadily. She was quiet for a moment, before equaling his gaze. "I know that" ... •DISCLAIMER; there are descriptions of torture in this story, but there will be a warning at the beginning of those chapters •This story begins at the orphanage, but they do go to Hogwarts. •OC story (ITS NOT CRINGE I PROMISE)

"𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞?" He scoffs, black eyes emotionless. "𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬." She was a girl born in the midst of a war. She was the forgotten child. The sister of the girl who sacrificed herself, saving the boy with the lightning bolt scar. He'd come in the night, ripping away everyone she had ever loved. He'd taken away her family. He'd shattered her beyond repair. "𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞?" She asks, blue eyes hard. "𝐈𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞." She was raised to only know neglect. She was raised to only feel pain. She had been thrown away by her own blood. No one ever paused to ask for her wellbeing. No one paused to make sure she was all right. "𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐘 𝐀𝐖𝐀𝐘 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐌𝐄!" "𝐍𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫." She was raised to know anger. She grew with only pain. She was raised with no family. She was being choked with a fiery chain. A fiery chain of loneliness A chain of regret. A flaming chain of loathing. An overwhelming drown-age of emotional debt. "𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮." "𝐈 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬." No one expected her to be more than just a poor orphan. No one expected her to have power beyond what anyone knew possible. The wars would come to pass. The wars would kill millions..... Yet she was their only salvation. The world needed her to save it. It needed help. Why would she help a world with such darkness in it? Why would she ever try to save something that killed her soul? "𝐈'𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠." "𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐦𝐞 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮."
