A/N: I was hoping to shake things up a bit with an OC being in the Wizarding World. It's not going to be Harry/OC. It's going to be OC/OC, but I'm sure she will get together with a canon character; I'm just not sure who it will be yet.

The face-claim for Adriana is Ariana Grande.

Prologue

January 1, 1980 10:00 A.M.

Finn Frost looked down at his newborn sleeping daughter, bundled up in a pink blanket, in his arms. His heart seemed to swell with pride at the sight of her. A St Mungo's Healer walked up to Finn and smiled down at him.

"What do you want to name her?" the Healer asked.

Finn looked at his wife, Beatrix. "Honey, what do you think her name should be?"

Beatrix was still weak from the birth, scowled at the newborn baby in Finn's arms, as if the baby somehow offended her. Finn held his daughter closer to his chest, as if he can protect her from Beatrix's eyes. Beatrix looked at Finn with disgust, "You can name her." She rolled over on her side, her back facing Finn and her daughter.

Finn was taken aback and looked down at his daughter. He thought about a list of names. They had wanted the gender to be a surprise, so a name wasn't picked out. He thought about his former close friend, back before she had died by the hands of Death Eaters by Bellatrix Lestrange and You-Know-Who. She had put up a fight, but she had been overpowered. He looked down at his daughter and said, "Adriana." He looked at Beatrix and then back down at his daughter, "Liliana." He smiled, "Adriana Liliana Frost."

"You're naming her after my mother?" Beatrix asked, sounding angry.

Finn wasn't entirely sure why Beatrix was acting like that, but he nodded. "It's tradition. I don't want to break tradition, Beatrix. You know how my family is big on keeping tradition."

"Can't you name her after your mother?" Beatrix demanded, sounding angry. The Healer walked out of the room, leaving the married couple alone with their daughter, because she didn't want to get into that mess.

"That's not how it works," Finn said. "You know that. It's your family tradition after all."

Beatrix looked even more disgusted, "Fine. Whatever. You take care of her."

"What did she do that's wrong?" Finn asked.

"Never mind," Beatrix said, waving a hand. "It's complicated."

Finn looked back at his daughter, who opened her eyes, and stared up at Finn. Finn smiled at her, "Hello, Adriana Liliana Frost. Welcome to the world."

December 30, 1985

"Here you go, Adriana." Finn said, handing his five-year-old daughter a leather-bound journal filled with parchment paper.

"Thanks," Adriana said, taking the journal. "You know my birthday's on the first."

"I know, but I wanted to see you smile," Finn said. Adriana stared at him. "After that fight your mum and I had." His blood was boiling at the reason why they had it.

"Oh," Adriana said. She was five-years-old and she rarely smiled. It wasn't normal. Especially what his hag of a wife was doing to her. He wasn't an idiot. He saw how Beatrix treated Adriana. She scolded and insulted Adriana over the smallest thing. That's why he got her figurines from Diagon Alley and generally tried to spent time with her, but he had his job at the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes, to go to. It was hard to make up for the lack of affection Beatrix was showing Adriana. He could tell that Ryan was jealous, but he had Beatrix's affection.

Finn hugged her, "Can you smile, just for me?" Adriana gave him a smile, which looked a little forced. "Okay, I'll see you later."

"Goodbye, Daddy," Adriana said.

Finn smiled, "Goodbye, Adriana. I love you."

"I love you, too," Adriana said.

Finn walked out the door.

Adriana went to her room and sat down at the desk. She pulled out a quill and inkwell.

She uncorked it and dipped the quill in the ink. She opened the journal to the first page. She wrote her name on the page and turned the page. She thought about what she was going to write and wrote:

December 30, 1985
3:20 P.M.

My dad gave me this journal early, because he said he wanted to see me smile, especially after the fight that he and Mother had.

I have no one to talk to besides you.

So, it's just me and you journal.

Welcome to my pathetic life.

— A.F.

She closed the journal and looked at the unicorn figurines on her desk. A silver unicorn was standing on its hind-legs and kicking it front hooves in the air, before putting them on the ground. It did that motion again and again.

She couldn't help but smile at it. She wondered if her dad was going to bring home another figurine for her.

She didn't know that was going to be the last time she would ever see her dad.

Five hours later, when Beatrix got the news, she had said to Adriana, "You caused your father to leave, you ungrateful little troll." It was the first time that Beatrix had brought Adriana to tears.

July 12, 1988

Eight-year-old Adriana was still up, writing in the leather bound journal by candlelight.

July 12th, 1988
10:58 p.m.

I wonder if Ryan notices how much our mother hates me. He must've noticed how much attention and compliments she gives him, but she ignores and insults me. There are times when it seems like he notices how unfair things are. Like last year, when we went to get Hogwarts supplies, we were at the ice cream parlour in Diagon Alley

The door creaked open and Adriana slammed the journal close. Her older brother, Ryan, who was going to turn thirteen in two hours, walked in. He seemed surprised to see that she was still up.

"Hey, Addy, you have to see this," Ryan said. "Come on."

Adriana looked at him, "I have to go to bed, Ryan."

"But you have to see this," Ryan said.

"What is it?" Adriana asked.

"Put on your shoes and I will show you," Ryan said.

Adriana shook her head, "We can't go outside."

"Mum hasn't found out. Yet," Ryan countered.

Adriana rolled her eyes at that. "Mother always turns a blind-eye when it comes to you, Ryan." In a bitter tone, she added, "You can do no wrong in her eyes."

"Oh, come off it, Addy, you know she doesn't," Ryan said.

"Name one thing that she got after you on," Adriana challenged. Ryan thought about it. It must've taken a while because Adriana laughed, "You proved me right."

"Shut up," Ryan said, "I'm thinking." He looked at Adriana, "While I'm thinking, put on your shoes and let's go."

Adriana set the journal aside and went to find her shoes. She found them and put them on. She muttered, "I'm going to get in so much trouble."

"So?" Ryan replied, nonchalantly.

Adriana refrained from saying that she didn't want to have her mother go on another one of her verbal tirades. She knew that her mother would say the usual: "You're a disappointment," "You're an embarrassment," "You can't follow simple orders," and "you never listen…" along with others, for hours on end.

They left the manor and Adriana stared up at the night sky. It was a breath-taking sight, seeing the stars sprinkled onto the velvet black backdrop of the night sky. Some part of her wanted to run back in the manor and go to bed. Their mother would know that they had left the manor. She always found out somehow. She always knew when Adriana and Ryan were getting to rowdy and they accidentally knock over something breakable, which resulted in Ryan using magic to repair what broke. However, Beatrix always blamed Adriana for it.

Ryan led her to the woods. They had moved into the manor out in the woods a few weeks after Adriana's sixth birthday. Adriana knew that it was because her father had murdered two Muggles, a few days after her sixth birthday. Adriana's and Ryan's mother, Beatrix, made sure that Adriana knew; after all, like father, like daughter. Adriana didn't get it, because she didn't own a wand and she didn't know any spells to kill two Muggles.

"Hurry up, slow-poke," Ryan snapped, bringing Adriana out of her thoughts.

She hurried up to her older brother and they started walking through the woods. After a bit, Adriana said, "Let's go home."

"Be quiet," Ryan said.

"Mum would know that we're out of bed," Adriana said.

"No, she won't," Ryan said, sounding like he was getting angry.

"She would know," Adriana said.

"Would you shut up?" Ryan snapped at her.

"Why is Mum ashamed of me?" Adriana asked. "Or who is she more ashamed of, me or Dad?"

Ryan seemed stunned at what Adriana asked.

She wasn't lying. Yesterday, their mother, Beatrix, told Adriana that she was ashamed of Adriana. The day before that, Beatrix said that Adriana couldn't make a bed correctly. The day before that, Betrix said that Adriana was a disappointment and a failure, and last week, Beatrix had looked Adriana in the eye and told her that Adriana wasn't going to make anything of herself and that she was going to go nowhere in life. Adriana was sure the 'except Azkaban' was implied after Beatrix's statement.

"What did you do to get Mum to say she loves you?" Adriana asked, looking at Ryan.

She wondered why Beatrix lavished Ryan with compliments like how he made her so proud and that Ryan was going to be a great wizard someday? What did Ryan do to get their mother to tell him that she loved him while Adriana got death-glares instead?

Why was it that when Adriana used her mother's wand to make a shrub of colourful roses outside their house, Beatrix just looked disgusted and told Adriana that she can do better; yet when Ryan made one rose appear, not as red and big like Adriana's, Beatrix said that she was so proud of him? Why did Ryan get a lot of birthday and Christmas parents, while Adriana got one very used book on her birthdays and Christmas?

Why did Ryan get cakes and fairy-cakes for his birthday, while Adriana never received anything like that for her birthday? Why did her father kill two Muggles? How come their mother doesn't want Adriana to write to her dad? Where were they going? What did Ryan want to show her? What was so important that he had to drag her out of the bed at eleven at night? Why did she want to run away from the manor?

They kept walking, occasionally Adriana tripped on a branch or tripped in a hole, but they eventually made it to a cave.

Adriana was in disbelief and looked at her older brother in disbelief. "That's it? You wanted to show me a cave?"

"It's not the cave that I wanted to show you," Ryan said. "It's what's on the inside of it."

"It better be worth it," Adriana muttered.

Ryan asked, "What was that?"

"Nothing," Adriana replied, a little too quickly.

They walked up to the cave, but there was another person in there. It looked to be a very warty-faced woman, who was wearing no shoes, and wearing a plain looking black dress. She was hanging up silks and tapestries on the cave wall and humming to herself, so she didn't notice two children.

"I think someone moved in your cave, Ryan," Adriana said, grinning. She noticed that one tapestry that was hung was, had a picture of what looked to be a cauldron bubbling with green potion, a small pile of skulls on the side, and a bookcase filled with books. That was slightly unsettling to see.

Ryan walked up to the mouth of the cave, "Hey!"

The woman turned and smiled at them, revealing crooked teeth. "My, my, my. I never had…children willingly come up to me before."

Adriana got a sick feeling at what she said. She felt that something was wrong.

"I just wanted to show her something that's inside the cave," Ryan said. "Can we please walk by?"

"Let's go," Adriana said, grabbing Ryan's arm. She pulled on his arm, feeling uneasy.

"No, I discovered this cave first." Ryan said, yanking his arm out of Adriana's grasp and walked in the cave.

"Ryan…" Adriana trailed off and followed after him.

"I'm going to show you what it is that I found in here," Ryan said as he led Adriana right into the cave.

The woman made an inhuman shriek, and grabbed Adriana's arm as the eight-year-old walked by. The woman squeezed Adriana's arm a few times, "To scrawny to eat."

Adriana felt cold all over because she realized that the woman was a hag. Her mother was right, she was stupid. She didn't recognize a hag, even when one was standing right in front of her. How could she be so stupid to make a mistake like this?

Ryan was now pointing his wand at the hag and he ordered, "Release my sister."

The hag released Adriana's arm and hissed at Ryan.

"Run, Addy!" Ryan ordered as the hag lunged at him. The two fell on the ground.

Adriana stood there, frozen. It was an order and Adriana always followed orders, mostly to please their mother, but she couldn't move.

"Run!" Ryan ordered again as he and the hag rolled around on the cave floor, grappling at each other. "And don't look back or stop!"

Adriana couldn't leave her brother like that.

"Run! Don't look back or stop!" Ryan ordered.

Adriana turned and ran. She wasn't sure how long she ran, but she didn't stop running until she got to the manor. She made it to the door right as it opened. Beatrix was stepping out, looking worried.

Beatrix looked at Adriana, "Where's Ryan?"

Adriana was breathing heavily and feeling very sweaty. Through gasps, Adriana explained the situation with the hag.

Beatrix now looked even more worried. "Go get the Department of Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. I don't need you getting in my way." She ran off into the wood and Adriana went inside the manor. She went to the fireplace and grabbed some Floo powder from the fireplace.

She threw the powder in and yelled, "Department of Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures!"

After that, it was all a blur. All Adriana remembered was being questioned again and again by different people. They seemed to ask the same questions over and over, like: "What happened?"

"Tells us once again, what did the witch look like?", "What were you two doing out of bed at this time of night?", and "Did your brother always go to that cave at this time of night?"

Adriana was sitting in the family room, staring into the fireplace, at the smoldering ash, feeling like she was in some sort of shock.

Daylight was coming when Beatrix entered the room, looking pale and…to Adriana's confusion, angry.

Adriana felt sick to her stomach as she started to ask, "Is he—?"

She was cut off when Beatrix gave the eight-year-old the most hate-filled and disgusted look that Adriana had never seen before. Beatrix snarled, "The wrong child died in that cave."

Adriana burst into tears and ran for her room. Before Adriana slammed the door shut, Beatrix shouted, "You don't deserve to cry! You killed your brother!"

Two days later, there was a funeral that Adriana wasn't allowed to go to, because Beatrix said, "Sisters who got their brothers killed aren't allowed to attend their funerals."

After the funeral, an article appeared in the Daily Prophet titled:

Tragedy Strikes the Frost Family

The article stated that the casket was empty as it was buried in the afternoon. According to Rita Skeeter, Adriana, whose name was butchered because it was spelled: 'Addrianna.' Apparently Adriana had stayed behind in the manor, not even caring about how she caused the death of Ryan, whose name was spelled correctly, because she stood by and allowed the hag to kill her brother. According to Rita Skeeter, Beatrix was a sobbing wreck, who claims that Adriana was a problematic girl who sneaks out of the house at night and frequently engaged in delinquent Muggle behaviour.

According to the article, Beatrix was a brave woman who had shouldered the weight of her beloved husband going to Azkaban from being framed over the killing of two Muggles, and now she was a grieving mother who lost her dearest son to her problematic daughter, and now has to handle the problematic girl on her own, without help from Ryan, who helped by trying to control Adriana.

On the front page, there was a picture of Beatrix, with her hands covering her face. Her shoulders were shaking and Adriana crumbled it up. Of course Beatrix would paint herself as a victim to the reporters and talk crap about Adriana by making her out to a delinquent.

The eight-year-old crumpled the Daily Prophet into a ball and threw it into the fire.

The newspaper burned very quickly and it made Adriana feel a lot better than she had in three days.

List of Crimes:

1) Murder
2) Laziness
3) Stupidity
4) Worthlessness
5) Weak
6) Pathetic
7) Useless
8) Ungratefulness

Adriana set the quill aside and closed her journal with a sigh. It just one more thing that she had to add to the list of crimes that she committed.
