little boys don't go to hogwarts
a/n: canon character; warning for implied child character death
All he'd wanted was to go to Hogwarts.
When his sisters had left for school that year, he cried, begging them to take him along as well. But he was only a little boy, and little boys didn't go to Hogwarts.
Once it became clear to him that the train to Hogwarts would leave without him, he began amusing himself with his mother's wand. He didn't know any real incantations, but the sparks that flew when he waved it were enough for him.
They told him he'd learn how to use a wand properly at Hogwarts.
At Hogwarts...at Hogwarts...
He would never set foot on the castle grounds.
All because "Mummy doesn't want to help those bad wizards."
It should have been her decision where to place her allegiance. But it wasn't. Not when dealing with the Death Eaters.
The werewolf came in the night.
The little boy didn't even have time to scream before all he saw was blood.
