A Squib's Story

Lissa22

Story Summary:
Violet Brown lives in the shadow of her witch sister, Lavender. She attends Muggle school, and feels like a stranger in her own family. "She might receive an A in something dull like Composition, but what's that compared to Lavender's O in Transfiguration?" This is the story of a Squib: a minor embarrassment, an unspoken disappointment, a fifteen-year old girl without a country.
