There was once a young girl- no; a young woman- who was born with sight, but through a great misfortune became blind. She was also a witch. Through her trials and tribulations, she learned to expand and use her other senses and magic, and she learned who her true friends were. Her parents, however, not knowing what to do with her, sent her to a private school and cut off almost all contact with her, until one fateful day when they were contacted by a one Professor Dumbledore, Head Master of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He requested that she be transferred to his school where she would get the utmost care and schooling; and in general more affection than her parents' ever showed her. Her parents, knowing what a fortunate turn of events this was, conceded, and when the girl arrived home, she was informed of her transfer.

This is the story of Mairi O'Callaghan, and her life at Hogwarts. This is the story of how she tamed a wild beast, became one with a trio, and charmed her way into the heart of a seeming heartless man.
