A/N: So I was listening to "A House Grown With Ivy" by Let's Lumos (it's an amazing song!), and suddenly love the character of Merope Gaunt. Her story is such a sad one, and it's just a shame that she couldn't stick around to lead her son onto the right path. Then maybe Voldie wouldn't be so evil. But anyways, I really like her character, so I decided to write a little story about her.
