AN: So guys, you might have all read this before, and some of you might be new comers... I'm currently in the progress of updating, fixing, and editing this story. I had a couple reviews tell me that I might have jumped to fast into the action, and I agree. I'm going to go back, hopefully make things longer, and try to convey my thoughts to you guys. Anyways, enjoy!

It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive

That One Word
Prologue
Hated by my own family, I was alone. I was sorted into the wrong house. There was no red hair or freckles here, the exception being me. No other Weasley had been placed here. There were no yellow, or red, or blue ties here, only green. Our qualities were not daring or brave. We did not use fair play, nor were we patient. Although some of us were smart, that's not what defined us. Green and silver were our colors, our qualities were sly and ambitious.
I don't know why I was placed here, but now my family hates me. It's been five years, and still they haven't relented. "Traitor" is yelled at me in corridors, just because of the house I was sorted into. "Slut" is whispered just loud enough so I can hear. They won't listen to the real story, that he cheated on me, not the other way around. My family won't believe me anymore, all because of that one simple word. They look at me like I've done something wrong, like I asked for this to happen. I've never done anything to them, any of them. I don't deserve this.
That one word changed my life, but I swear it will be changing it for the better. That one word had changed my life forever. As soon as that hat sat on my head, it knew right away. It knew exactly what word to say.
"SLYTHERIN!"
AN: Just so everyone knows, I'm not great at writing and this is a project for school. Any constructive criticism is greatly welcomed :) however, flames are not!
