Summary: Things would have been different without Ebony.


Megan had never really fit in as a child, wherever she was. She merely… existed.

Between keeping her magical heritage away from her Muggle mother and the limited time spent with her wizard father, it was difficult to be completely honest with her parents. At Hogwarts, prejudices still led most of the kids to look down on the snakes. She had grown up quietly in Muggle primary school, and so she slithered into the House of Slytherin without making a ripple.

It was really Ebony that brought her out of her shell.

Sure, she had other friends: Locke Stith in Gryffindor, Sarah Vulpes and Drake Zemyr in Hufflepuff, and a whole slew of Ravenclaws. But her dormmate was there when she couldn't sleep, helping set up privacy wards to let her cry or rant in peace. Ebony wasn't a Muggle-lover, but she didn't sneer when Megan brought out her static photographs. She had even hexed Elliot Garrison for stealing her stuffed dog toy way back in second year.

They were as different as Snitches and Quaffles, but as Ebony would put it, both were vital to winning matches; either a steady volley or a flashy catch could tip the scales.
