Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry just isn't working out for Rosemary Laroche, then again Durmstrang Institute did not work out either and don't even get her started on all the muggle schools she attended before she turned eleven. In truth maybe it was her parents fault, they were the ones always all too willing to do whatever it took to help Rosemary find her way. So really, totally their fault. At least that is what she told herself when she was feeling frustrated. Maybe it was the way she just couldn't stay in one place very long, always wanting something new and different. Obviously that must be it! Rosemary was a free spirit, going where ever the wind blew her. At least that is what she told herself when she was feeling adventurous. Perhaps the reason was actually because her destiny was bigger than she could have ever imagined! That her fate was something big and important and truly brilliant. Her moving schools, homes, and countries was because she was heading closer and closer to her epic destiny of curing a disease! Or it was to end world hunger or - or it was that somehow she was meant to become a great ruler! Well… maybe not that extreme, even Rosemary wasn't that crazy to think all of that.
That right there though, that was part of it. Rosemary was that crazy. That's what people always thought of her anyway, even though in truth she wasn't that crazy. She was just different. Different from everyone, that's what she felt like. Never quite fitting in.
At Juncston Primary in northern France, she was the little kid that would always be just a little too excited to go outside and play. Then at Heirshire School for Girls in the Netherlands, she was the girl who spent most of her time with her nose in a book but when she did speak nothing ever came out the way it should have, always accidentally insulting someone. When it finally came time to go to a magical school, her parents decided it might be best if she was sent to Durmstrang Institute. After all it was where both her grandparents on her father's side attended school and they turned out to be great people so how bad could it go?
Very bad. That's how bad. Want better detail on how bad? Like swimming in the ocean and suddenly being surrounded by monstrous sharks and an acid leaking squid bad. Think about it, acid leaking squid. It's pretty horrific in Rosemary's mind, can't get much worse than that. Well guess what! The world can always make things more uncomfortable then acid leaking squid as Rosemary later found out when she went to attend Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Now hear Rosemary out, Americans can be cool. But in her mind she just could not get over their weird and strange traditions! Flags everywhere! It's like they were back in the World Wars with the amount of patriotism there was. Always chanting "U-S-A, U-S-A" at every quidditch match, Rosemary thought is was the houses Thunderbird and Wampus battling it out? How did America get a part of this? Rosemary is glad they like their country but it is very easy to become the outcast when you do not own at least two shirts with the flag on it. But patriotism aside there was another thing she could just not get over. Peanut butter. Like ew.
Okay, okay it was more than just patriotism and peanut butter but no need to go into that now, after all Rosemary was starting over. Today would be the start of her new beginning in a long line of new beginnings so who knew, she thought, maybe this would be the last of the new beginnings. Staying positive! At least that is what Rosemary told herself when she took those long strides straight into the wall at Kings Cross Station finally reaching Platform 9 3/4 with her parent's right behind her.
A new beginning, this is it.
A/N - It's a start! And a very short start because it is basically a prologue, in fact it is a prologue! Now now I know made fun of Americans but that's okay because I myself am a full-blooded, patriotic, flag t-shirt wearer, U-S-A chanter American. So I made fun of myself.
I hope anyone who reads this enjoyed it and if you would like to give me feedback that would be greatly appreciated. I know Rosemary hasn't revealed much about herself yet but all in due time, all in due time.
