******DISCONTINUED******* **The only reason this account hasn't been deleted is because you guys really, really like this fic for some unfathomable reason. Sorry, I know, I kept saying I would come back. I won't. But the unfinished story is still here, for anyone who wants it.** Once, there was a lonely girl who lived in the shadow of a monster. She wasn't sure at times where the shadow came from-outside herself or within her. This girl believed she was nothing special, a freak, a nobody to be locked away where no one could find her. She believed she was worthless, a burden, a pathetic child. Little did she know, she was so much more. Eventually, this girl is rescued from her life of abandonment, of abuse, of pain, of loathing and of self-hate. She is pulled from her cruel environment and placed in a school that is, quite simply, magical. There, she finds so much more than she ever dreamed she would-friends, love, laughter, light and life. But, is all as genuine as it seems? *A Marauder-Era Harry Potter Fan Fiction. All rights and characters belong to JKR (minus those characters belonging to me).
