Dagger of Doubt

Do you think Roger Davies would have made a very annoying older brother? This is what his sister Tracey's childhood was like.

You already know where the Sorting Hat placed Tracey, don't you? But she did not suspect until the moment it happened. It was a moment that might change the rest of her life.

If your own Quidditch team isn't playing, does it matter who wins the match? Of course it does. Everything has a political flavour for a Slytherin.

Slytherin’s Monster is on the loose, and Tracey’s happy schooldays take a darker turn. Much, much darker...

Which would make you most miserable? (A) Living in a castle guarded by Dementors. (B) Being ostracised by all your friends at once. (C) Detention with Snape for something you didn’t do. (D) An interfering sibling who tried to fix up your problems. What an easy question. After all, D is for Davies.

Tracey and friends are looking forward to the Yule Ball.

When there are appearances to keep up and scores to settle, Tracey might just have to sacrifice the Hogwarts gamekeeper. Talking of sacrifice, what was that about school rules?

Roger has left Hogwarts so Tracey finally has her school life to herself. She won’t allow a little problem like the war to spoil her best year ever. After all, she’s now completely in control of events around her. Isn’t she?

The war is raging, and the Death Eaters are poised to strike.

If you were Tracey, what would you do with the rest of your life? Perhaps you have noticed that the answer has already been handed to her. But Tracey is about to be very, very surprised.
