A Girl and Her Fears: Facing Trial in the Wizard W
Titled: Facing Fear in the Wizard World Part One. --the last word in the header was cut off, so I thought to put it here as well, so people will know the full title. This writing is for one of the projects (Wolfblood) that I am part of with my group of friends.--
Danielle had recently left her world and her family behind in search of a place she could feel she would be accepted for who she is as a person. The terrible verbal abuse from her father and brother had gone on for years. While her brother never yelled at her, her father, Lucius Malfoy, did. He would always hold his little staff in his hands as it had his wand in it, he would stand in a certain spot, and no matter what Danielle did, she would often hear the words, “Danielle, you are such a disappointment to this family. You are a Malfoy, you are supposed to hate Half-bloods and Muggles. We are superior. Instead, you waste your time gandering around with those friends of yours. You should be more like your brother.”
Danielle hated how every time her father spoke to her, it was always the same sentence over and over again, and he did not just say it, he yells it; sometimes even multiple times a day. Recently, she had packed her bags while on break from school at Hogwarts. She felt her family home as she had grown fearful of her father over the years, knowing that he was capable of many horrible things. She hated that he tried to push his elitist views onto her and how he always tried to belittle her. She had travelled to New Castle getting lost in the woods, where she met Rhydian.
Since then, she had been super careful as to not expose who she is to non magical beings, however, with the threat of Alex Kincaid and his attempts to turn magical beings into humans, it was beginning to look more and more likely that she would one day have to expose wizardry to humans. That day came today of all days when she was on a field trip with her friends and her other classmates. Yetis were attacking the museum her teacher Mr. Jefferies had taken the class for their field trip. As soon as Danielle saw that people were in danger, her instincts to protect others immediately kicked in.
She was successfully able to cast the spell, “Petrificus Totalus” on one of the Yetis. She watched as the spell bound its limbs together and watched the giant, white and furry creature fall to the ground. She even watched her friend Lyla use powers to take another Yeti down along with the rest of her friends. It was a long, intense battle for them all against the giant monsters. Its own growl reminded Danielle of her own father. Some time after the battle was over, an owl from her world delivered a letter to her and it was from the Ministry of Magic.
Danielle had grown to despise Hogwarts, her family home, she hated her family’s prejudicial views, she even despises their justice system because sometimes trials were not fair at all. Her old friend Harry Potter’s own trial was almost wasn’t completely fair since Delores Umbridge had it out for it and wanted to see Harry punished. She remembered how her late headmaster, Albus Dumbledore was able to help Harry be able to keep attending the school and to get out of punishment he actually did not deserve. In this moment, she and Harry are alike. They both exposed wizardy to Muggles to save people’s lives.
In Harry’s case, it was to save his cousin Dudley. In Danielle’s case, she did it to save innocents from monsters that would have likely seriously hurt or killed someone. Only thing is, would her trial be just like her old friend Harry’s. Who would be on her side? She had three days to appear for the trial. Professor Lupin, she did not know he was still teaching there, Professor Snape would be no help at all. The only professor who might even help her would be her favorite teacher, Professor McGonagall. At her new home with Dr. Whitewood, Danielle was clearly quiet at dinner time, as she contemplated how to go about how to deal with going back to a place that only gave her painful memories.
After dinner, Danielle finally looked at her adoptive mother, just wanting to know what to do in this situation. “Mom, I need your help.” Her voice cracked, shaking a little due to trying not to break down in tears again. “Where I am originally from, well, they want to see me at the Ministry of Magic for a trial for exposing wizardry to non magical beings. Thing is, I’m scared of going back. I have no good memories back where I am from. I come from a world I call the Wizard World. It’s filled with evil people, Dementors, my old headmaster was murdered, a few of my old friends were murdered there..” She completely broke down crying. She was unable to hold it together as she told her adoptive mom everything.
“I was never respected by my family, I always felt like an outcast because I had different views on things than my own family did, even witnessed how an evil wizard started a war that killed some people I cared about… I thought that if I came here, I would just be able to forget everything that happened. For the first time, ever since I came here and became your adoptive daughter, I have felt loved and respected. I don’t know if I could go back to my world and face prejudicial people..” Danielle found it hard to heal. She felt broken.
Suddenly, she felt arms wrapping around her as she cried. It was her adoptive mother, letting Danielle know she was not alone. Danielle buried her head into her mom’s arms, and just cried. She had never told anyone before how broken she felt until now. It was maybe a good hour that Danielle cried into Doctor Whitewood’s arms. Then Doctor Whitewood spoke to her in a soft, motherly tone.
“Danielle, everything will be okay. I know that you would only use your powers if you were saving someone who was in danger. My advice, head to the Ministry of Magic, talk to someone there that you absolutely trust before your trial, and make sure your story is heard. Don’t let them intimidate you. You don’t have to face your fears alone, sweetheart, and as much as I would love to go with you in support of you, I have to look after Lyla. You are a strong young woman capable of great things. I believe in you, Danielle.”
Hearing this, it gave Danielle some strength to fight some of her fears. “Thank you, mom. I will leave first thing in the morning after telling Mister Jefferies why I will be absent from school for a couple days. You are right, though. There is someone at my old school that I completely trust. I love you, mum. Also, you might have to keep my pet under lock and key while I am gone. Malloy is known for being a bit mischievous when he starts looking for shiny objects and I have his food in my room” Danielle hugged her mother tightly, then headed to her room to pack a couple of her old Hogwarts outfits.
Danielle took a deep breath. While she had no intentions of going back near Hogwarts, her family home or even back to the Ministry of Magic, Doctor Whitewood was right. She needed to make sure she was heard, face her fears head on, though she hopes that she does not run into her father. Things would escalate quickly with her father since Danielle had finally had enough of him emotionally abusing her for years. After packing a few outfits for her trial, Danielle put her suitcase on the floor under her bed, she put her pajamas on and put her dirty clothes in her hamper. She got onto her bed, turned out the light, and slowly drifted to sleep, holding her pet. She had a long few days ahead of her.

Potions Class
** Disclaimer: This is a drabble I wrote not too long ago, and thought I would bring it over here. **
Danielle was having a hard time at school lately. This mostly stemmed from her brother and the fact that her father was disappointed in her for not sharing the family's views and for not being a Slytherin like the rest of her family. At Hogwarts, people have what is called a "Boggart". It is a type of shapeshifter that has no form on its own, but when it encounters a person, it can transform into a person's worst fear. Her worst fear was her father. On this particular day, like usual, she had Potions class with Professor Severus Snape who obviously didn't like her and thought she was a disappointment just like her father, Lucius did. At every turn, she felt as if she was letting at least someone down, no matter how hard she tried her best in school, with the exception of Headmaster Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall. They were the only ones as far as teachers go that never made her feel like a disappointment.
As Potions class started, like any other day, she got out her Potions book and had a black cauldron in front of her, and after some instruction from Professor Snape, got the ingredients for a potion they would be learning. Snape, of course, acted as if she would mess it up. She read the book carefully and did each instruction to the letter in the book for the potion. It also did not help that her professor kept looking over her shoulder the entire time hoping to catch in the act of messing up the potion. It got to the point that she stopped what she was doing for a few seconds, looked behind her and saw her professor sneering at her. This made her say what was on her mind.
"Professor, I would appreciate it if you would stop mocking me and let me do the potion you want us to do. I am tired of feeling like a dissapointment. You hovering over my shoulder DOES NOT help! But since you have decided to hover so much over my shoulder just hoping that I would mess up, you can forget about me finishing the potion."
She paused before saying more. Danielle knew that her professor was going to send her out of the class and to the headmaster for this, so before he could, she spoke up on her behalf.
"Also, I will be taking my things and speak to the Headmaster himself. Thought I would save you the energy, and another thing, if you want to be a good teacher, stop making your students feel like failures!"
Danielle got her things and headed out of the class room to go to Dumbledore's office. She did not know if she was going to be in trouble but she felt good for standing up for herself. Normally, she'd just sit there and take whatever her Potions professor dished out at her, same as some of the other teachers, and normally she'd allow them to treat her so horribly especially her father and brother. Once she got to Dumbledore's office, she asked to speak with him.
"I am sorry for disturbing you, Headmaster. I couldn't take Professor Snape's sneering and mockery any longer. I normally don't like to cause trouble, but I felt it was time I stood up for myself. I get a lot crap from my father and brother already, I certainly did not need it from my professor too. I understand if you're disappointed in me, Headmaster."
"On the contrary, my dear. You've displayed bravery in standing up for yourself. I will have a talk with Snape, what I want you to do now, is go see Professor McGonagall. She will be teaching you for the rest of the day, my dear on Transfigurations. I know it's a hard class, but seeing as you have displayed some characteristics of a Gryffindor, I feel you will do just fine in that class. I will also be rewarding Gryffindor 50 points for your bravery."
"Thank you, Headmaster. I will be on my way to the Transfigurations class then."
To say that Danielle had self confidence issues was an understatement. Yes she stood up for herself against Professor Snape, but she was far from having the self confidence she wanted. As she headed to the Transfigurations class, she pondered what had happened in the Potions room earlier. Why was Snape always over her shoulder? Why was he always hoping she would mess up? Did he think she wasn't as good as her brother at potions, or did Snape just like picking on her in general? Why did her Potions professor hate her so much?? She did not have an answer to these questions.

***Creator’s note: Danielle is completely the opposite of her pureblood family in terms of personality. Her eye color is slightly different than her brother’s and parents.***
Early Childhood: Danielle mainly only associated with pure blood families out of fear of her father. She longed to play with half-bloods and muggleborns but to keep from feeling the wrath of her father, she only stayed around the purebloods. She developed depression even though she had tons of friends like her brother. She often visited the school of Hogwarts with her brother and father when her father did business there. She also met a girl named Merula Snyde who Danielle immediately disliked. When her brother stole their father’s wand, she saw how her father accused Dobby, their house elf and she was always there to comfort him and treat him as her equal. Dobby was her best friend growing up. When it came time for her to attend school, it was in 1992, and was sorted into Gryffindor per the request she asked of the sorting hat and her brother was sorted into Slytherin. While she loved her family, she didn’t have a bunch in common with them. She was always honest, never lied to anyone, kept to herself most of the time and she felt that she could learn to be more confident in her abilities and herself if she was in Gryffindor house.
She also met Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione in their second year when she was just starting as a first year as she gathered the supplies she needed for school, and made friends with the second years Harry, Ron and Hermione.
//: As far as Legacies goes with this character. It's never been touched on, but I will say I think it safe to say that if my character goes against Kai, I do not think he would be able to siphon her magic away. She is from another realm, so her magic is certainly different from the magic in the Legacies fandom. However, this does not mean she is stronger than him. Kai would still be able to knock her on her butt.
