Abused by parents since five years old. Bullied in school since Year One. Lonely since birth. Depressed since forever. That's the only way to describe Crystalline Lane. When she got her acceptance letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Crystalline thought that she'll finally have friends. That she'll finally prove her parents that she's NOT worthless, NOT a waste of space, NOT unworthy of love. She couldn't be more wrong. ***************************** It's Crystalline's fifth year in Hogwarts and everything gets worse. She's being beaten up, she doesn't eat, her grades are dropping. But one day someone comes into her life. Will she escape depression's tight embrace or drift into an eternal slumber? **************************************** TRIGGER WARNING: self harm, suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety, strong language and all that. **************************************** Takes place during 'Harry Potter and the Order of The Phoenix ' DISCLAIMER : I do not own characters or plot from the Harry Potter series. I only own my own characters and some of the plot. Inspired by Sia's song 'Dressed In Black'
