Prologue: The Orphanage
There once was a beautiful little redheaded baby born to the muggle family the Evans'. Soon after her birth the Evans' found her to do strange things a normal baby did not do. Like for instance when shed cry, Mirrors or windows would break. The Evans' put up with it for a while, until one day a piece of glass hit their older daughter's face when the redhead (Lily was what they had previously named her, though most of the time they could not even remember her name and called her, 'kid',) had another tantrum from not being held. This left a scar on Petunia's, the older daughter, face and the Evans' were furious. So after a bit of debating they decided to send her to an orphanage.
They then flew to Italy where they heard of an orphanage of children with abnormalities. When they were giving her off, they had to give her a name. They didn't have time, they're plane back left soon, and to tell you the truth they didn't remember her name. So the mother, Marie, glanced around and something that said 'Rogue'. Marie knew this would make an odd name and so therefore said that 'Rogue' was her name. She also said that 'Rogue didn't have a last name and would take whatever the family that adopted her had. Like that would ever happen anyway… This kid is a freak. Well I suppose anyone that comes here looking for a kid wouldn't mind, Marie thought as she looked around the place and noticed a child that looked about 4 or so sneeze and catch the rug on fire.
"Ok, well that's all we need. You may leave now." A young man that worked there said.
Needless to say, the Evans' didn't need telling twice about leaving. They were out the door faster than you can say, Lily.
"So, Rogue, what is so bad about you? You seem so sweet… In fact, you're a lot better than most of the kids here," said the man that her (Mark) as he watched some other supervisors try to put out the fire.
Rogue giggled happily at this, though Mark doubted whether she could understand what the supervisors were doing. But apparently she found it extremely funny for as she giggled the lights flickered.
about three years later (rogue is about five-ish)
As Rogue grew in her knew home, she began to make friends with some of the other children there. Surprisingly the blonde girl that caught the rug on fire when she was four became one of Rogue's best friends. And since Amanda (the blonde) had been at the orphanage a while, she showed Rogue the whole place, dos and don'ts, and who to hang out with and who to… not.
One particular boy on the don'ts list was one that looked about Rogue's age but was very scrawny and had the filthiest, slimiest, black hair she had ever seen. She soon found out his last name was Snape and that nobody talked to him. She wondered why but soon had this answered when she saw him a little girl accidentally bumped into him. Snape then lashed out at her and told her to 'watch where she was going, brat'.
After this incident Rogue and Mandi (Amanda) decided to comfort the poor girl. They found her crying in a corner and told her to not worry about what Snape said. "He's just a greasy, little meanie, who thinks he's cooler than everybody else," said Mandi.
"o-ok… I'm Alice by the way."
"I'm Rogue and this is Mandi," said Rogue as she offered her hand.
"Rogue?"
"Yeah I kno-" but she was cut off by Alice.
"What an awesome name!"
"Really? You think so?" asked Rogue in surprise.
Mandi sighed. "Yeah that really is ancool name… I have been trying to tell you that for so long but you never listened to me. Will you now that that somebody told ya so?"
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know. Yeah I guess it's ok. So… let's go get some lunch."
"Don't gotta tell me twice!" said Mandi and Alice in unison.
Rogue giggled and then followed behind trying to keep up.
