Prologue
Ebony coloured hair and eyes. A wand of ebony wood. It made sense, that her name was also Ebony. Ebony Grace. Contrary to her name though, her skin was pale, almost translucent, and her actions were nowhere near graceful.
Yet that was her name. Her game? Once upon a time, it used to consist of Quidditch, pranking people, laughing, and whatever else any girl with a kind heart would do. Once upon a time. But time passes, changes occur. Water evaporates, silver tarnishes, fire dies, and... things... happen.
Some similar kind of 'thing' had happened with Ebony too. The once warmhearted girl closed off, setting up barriers and giving cold looks to those who actually noticed her.
She didn't mind the lack of attention, in fact, she enjoyed it, if you could describe it like that. She wished it occurred more often, so that perhaps some day she could pass away, die unnoticed.
And as many wishes come true, there is an even larger number that don't. But what can we say? Good things do indeed come in small packets. So although there were people who ignored her, there was a greater number of people who actually gave her attention. Unwanted attention. And most definitely not in a good way.
Hitting, kicking, slapping, punching, name calling, threatening... the list went on. Every single day. And of course it hurt, but what's on the outside might not necessarily be on the inside, and that was Ebony's case.
Four boys in particular, known as what we have learned to be the Marauders. And even in that, one of them, Sirius Black, had made it his motive, to make Ebony's life living hell.
Five years have passed, in which Ebony's been bullied a countless number of times, keeping her away from what she truly seeks: someone to love her.
Perhaps this year will change, change for the better.
A/N: New story, much, much, much better written than my other one, which I still need to update. But here it is, Sirius/OC. I hope you like it (:
