A/N- So this story just kind of popped into my head, and I decided to write it because I think it could turn out to be interesting, and I haven't written anything about the Marauder area, so this is my attempt at that. Please enjoy!
Disclaimer- I don't own Harry Potter, but I do own Danielle Rosier.
Prologue
~oO0Oo~
In the city of London, England, a young woman sat in her living room, seemingly admiring the upholstery of the chair she was sitting in. Her long, dishwater blonde hair was in two low braids and her bangs hung long over her navy blue eyes. The woman was dressed in torn jeans and a grey jumper. Her shoes were untied and dirty, leaving marks upon the carpet as she jumped up suddenly and began to pace about the room.
Danielle Rosier was only twenty-two, but her problems stretched on much farther than any other twenty-two year old she knew of. Things however, had not always been this way. When Danielle was eleven, she had received a letter from a school, called Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, inviting her to attend school the following year. Young Danielle was ecstatic, and eagerly replied with a slip of paper containing the few words of her acceptance.
At school, Danielle was sorted into one of four houses: Gryffindor, Ravenclaw Hufflepuff and Slytherin. Danielle had been told by her father that the greatest house she could be accepted into was Slytherin. And at first, Danielle had been disappointed that she was instead accepted into Ravenclaw, where she was told only the most intelligent were sorted. But she grew to respect and appreciate it greatly. Her family, however, was not pleased she had not been accepted into the "noble" house of Slytherin.
Despite her family's disapproval, Danielle thrived in the house of Ravenclaw. She became the Seeker for her houses' Quidditch team in her second year, and became Captain four years later, in her sixth year. Danielle had been named prefect of her house in her fifth year, a great honor in her opinion, and Head Girl in her seventh. She was also the prodigy of the Transfiguration professor, Minerva McGonagall, whose subject Danielle greatly excelled at; receiving an "Outstanding" mark in both her OWL and NEWT exams. Yes, Danielle had greatly enjoyed her school years, but difficult times had followed that.
There was a war going on in her world, and she was heavily involved with both sides. Her family, which had consisted of her mother, Rachael, who had died at the tender age of twenty-three, her father, Arch, who had been killed just over a year ago, and her younger brother, Evan, who was headed for his execution this very moment, was involved with one side, and her friends, the other. Danielle had made the decision to side with her friends, and as a consequence, had been disowned from the Rosier family.
It might have bothered any other twenty-two year old woman that her brother was going to be executed on this day of November 13, but that is not what concerned Danielle as she paced about her living room. Her brother had been a nasty person, opting to join the dark side of the raging war; following in her father's footsteps. No, Danielle was much more concerned about the trial she had just witnessed and taken part in. The trial of the alleged mass-murderer, Sirius Black.
