Summary: AU Hermione's, Dean's, and Harry's parents/guardians reactions to them being a wizard/witch. [AU]


My name is Hermione Granger, and today I have discovered that I am a witch.

My parents have kicked me out of the house and burned the letter I received so that I cannot contact the school. All of my books have been thrown into the fireplace, and my mom slapped me.


My name is Dean Thomas, and yesterday I discovered that I am a wizard.

My parents locked me in the basement after my dad screamed himself hoarse, and threw away the letter I received. I haven't eaten in two days, and I have been bitten by three rats.


My name is Harry Potter, and three days ago I discovered that I am a wizard.

My uncle threw me into a wall, my aunt slapped me, and my cousin kicked me. Afterwards, they locked me in the cupboard under the stairs and burned the letter. I haven't eaten in a week and I can't see straight.


We are the unlucky;

The ones who are punished for what you are blessed.

We are what you cannot understand;

The ones who live in fear of those you should love.

We are children,

The ones who are broken.
