1983
Here I stand Six feet small
And Smiling cause I'm scared as hell
Somewhere in the past
Aubrielle had just finished her morning cup of coffee. She twirled a piece of her long wavy hair around her finger as she often did when she was thinking. She sat her empty teacup on the nearby oak table. She had spent the last few days like this, feigning normalcy to the outside world. Those days had been nothing but shock. Her thought was suddenly derailed by a swift knock at the door.
"Aubry, Aubry, Aubry," the thin frail boy began.
"We are so sorry for your loss," an equally skinny girl replied.
Aubrielle winced at the use of her nickname, then sat silent before realizing that their statements required an answer. She forced a smile to her lips.

"This one is from me," Sirius said. Harry tore open the paper. Inside were a manila envelope and a ring. The ring was very large and only fit around Harry's thumb.
"It was too big for your father; he too always wore it on his thumb." Sirius sighed thinking of the old days at Hogwarts, days that had been haunting him lately.
Next, Harry tore into the manila envelope. Inside was a copy of a very old and worn picture.

Aubrielle, having presently kicked out the horrendous twins, was running her finger over her most beloved treasure. Its silver frame enclosed a picture of two smiling girls. They were surrounded by four boys all of whom were laughing. The color had faded and the picture was yellow but Aubrielle still held it close to her heart.
"Lily you'll always be there right?"
"Always and forever. We're gonna raise our kids together remember?"
"Yes, You and me and…James"
"And Peter?"
"Um no"
Giggles filled the air……

Aurora Harris, or Rory for short, had always known she was different even by wizarding standards.
She had never known her parents and so far, she had been shuffled from one school to the next. She had seen every wizarding school in Europe and one in America. Only one school hadn't had the pleasure of expelling her, Hogwarts.
