In a twist of character interpretation, Dustine goes through her fifth year at Hogwarts, trying to survive the prejudices of her peers. Born to a sadistic, ambitious mother and a fair, loyal father, she has struggled with her feelings toward her parents all her life and rather than empathise, everyone criticises. Distracted by the drama of school and the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, she's too late in saving a soul from the darkness.
