Silence or Sound

by WalkingInAWinterWonderlandxx

All Rosalyn Dunbar wanted to do was fit in. She got that, finally, at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She will face a multitude of discrimination and prejudice amongst her fellow peers, the purebloods, the half-bloods. Everyone. But one stands out from the rest, will they become friends, will sparks fly? Will their lives be silent? Or filled with sound?

1. Prologue

Prologue:

"Rosa! Rosa! C'mon, come back!" One of the four boys called after her. The thirteen year old walked away, tears streaming out of the corner of her blue eyes and her arms crossed over her now blue and silver covered satchel and parchment. Her hair and skin resembling the same.

"Y'know what?" She threw her things to the ground.

"What, Dunbar? You gonna go cry to your mommy?" The second boy taunted.

"No." And she bent down, digging through her pockets of her satchel, papers and assignments all jumbled up. Pulling out her trusty wand, she stood back up. "I'm defending myself."

"Oooh, Eagle's got talons, mate." The grey-eyed teen boasted.

"Yeah, she's got talons, and a mean hex, Lux candida impetum" She waved her wand in a flourish and the two boys flew back into the brick walls by the third-floor bathrooms. Glasses, wands and satchels flew away from the attacked and the thirteen year-old turned and walked to the west side of Hogwarts and to the top of a spiral staircase. Knocking the huge brass knocker, in the shape of an eagle, she was asked:

"A riddle for you: What can't money buy? Once it is gone you can't reclaim it.
You have to use it now. We all receive the same amount each day."

"Time." She stated and the door swung open. Throwing her bag and parchments down she climbed a staircase to the room she shared with three others and climbed into her bed. Using a silencing charm and closing the curtains, she let out everything, crying herself to sleep.
