The Black Sheep

by K.R.Lewis

Debra Dursley, or as she likes to be called Echo, was as far Dursley as one can be. She has never felt like she belonged and the only one who understood her was the cousin that everyone hated. Echo was the black sheep, the outcast, and to make matters worst she just found out she's a witch. (Book 1 of The Echo Series)

1. Intro

Since the moment Debra Dursley was born she was different. When compared to her family she looks nothing like them. Her mother has blonde hair and pale eyes, while her father has black hair and small blue eyes. Debra was born a ginger with brilliant blue eyes.

It's not just looks, however, that differs Debra from her family. Since being born Debra has shown signs of being selfless and outgoing. Debra had a sharp tongue and could often be a hot head, the only thing she shares with her mother.

Growing up Debra grew further and further apart from her family. Upon having Harry join their little family grew, even more, estranged from her parents and her brother, going as far as changing her name.

Debra often believed when she talked to her parents it was like an echo effect. She would have to repeat herself numerous times for her to be heard, therefore when Harry joked and said she was like an echo when talking to her parents, Debra decided that she would be called that, Echo.

The reasoning for Debra feeling so different was about to come to light during her eleventh birthday.
