Her own life is marked by struggle: her mother's mysterious mental disturbance; her friends' troubles, which she feels bound to ameliorate; and the looming responsibilities she faces as sole heir to Connghaill Keep.

The milieu, the protagonist and most of the characters belong to Jo Rowling. The plot is my own.

Hogwarts: A Beginning by Faile

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: A thousand years or more ago,
When I was newly sewn,
There lived four wizards of renown,
Whose names are still well known:
Gryffindor, strong and bold; Hufflepuff, just and patient; Slytherin, shrewd and cunning; and Ravenclaw, fair and wise. This much we know about the Hogwarts Four, whose endeavours have changed our lives so much. But the only one who knew them speaks only in song, and his job is to sort the new students--nothing more.

But deep within the library of Hogwarts, lies a book oft forgotten. Old and tattered, but with the words still shining bright, the ancient leather cover bears a name we all know well:

Rowena Ravenclaw


This is an adopted plot--original plot inspiration from girllikeme. Thanks for sharing!

The Life and Lies of Aberforth Dumbledore by The Dog Star

Rated: 3rd-5th Years •
Summary: You've heard of my brother, right? Stupid question, of course you've heard of my brother. The wonderfully famous, famously wonderful Albus Dumbledore. The bright one of the family. He got the brains my sister got the looks, and I got... drumroll here... I got the job of feeding the goats. Yeah, I know, I felt like that too. Bit of a bummer isn't it?
But, for once, this is my chance to tell my story, so shove off, and let me do my own thing. Ta.

Note: Mental disorders is just my little sister's condition, so don't let that put you off reading it. If it does, read it anyway. Tough.
