This story is not suited for younger readers, read at your own risk.

At my conception my mother broke the law, no one in Azkaban knew she was pregnant with me til I was born. My mother hid me for a whole month before the guards found me. I was starved and dying, my mother wanted me to be dead because I was born a Grindelwald. When my father escaped the third time it was with my mother's help. Shortly lived yes, but they had enough time to conceive me... my father is now long gone, so being that, 1. I was starved to the brink of death by my mother and 2. my father dead or missing, I was given to the Potter family. Lilly and James being the kind souls they were. I was treated the same as my adoptive brother Harry. Myself being selfaware at birth, I know and remember everything all the mistreatment myself and Harry endured til now. We live in the closet under the stairs sharing what clothes are given to us. But today at the snake enclosure Harry made the glass disappear and then reappear after the snake was let out trapping Dudley inside. We snickered at aunt petunia and dudley panicking, uncle Vernon of course catching us. We were both scared. Of course him blaming us both and locking us in the closet. We were locked inside most our days during summer. That was til the first letter came. I snuck my letter to our closet unseen and hid it to read later that night. But uncle Vernon tore Harry's and burnt it. I hide behind Harry when Vernon looks at me. It's creepy how he looks at me. Aunt petunia and dudley are no different it's like they are stuck with me. We cooked dinner that night and I was responsible for sneaking two bread rolls to our closet while Harry served them. Which was a relief to me. I much preferred being the sneaky one. I stayed in the closet waiting for Harry when I heard uncle Vernon hit Harry again. I peeked out the vented area of the door seeing Harry on the floor holding himself up. He apologized to Vernon and got up coming over to me. I opened the door for him and he went to the over side of our small bed. We ate our rolls in silence, then I waited until after our bath to finally show Harry the letter I snuck. He was surprised but smiled and pat my head affectionately. We read the letter together.

To: Rosa Grinderlwald-Potter.
Addressed to the closet under the stairs.

Harry looked at me puzzled "open it" he said quietly as everyone else was asleep.
I opened it and we read.

I gasp gently with Harry. "Harry you got the same letter as me! We have a chance to leave!" I said. "But we don't own an a owl Rosa, and we don't know if the owl will bring it to where it needs to be to start" Harry said I sighed and nodded. He smiled at me and pat my head. "Rosa we will get out of here, some way, I promise" Harry said. I nodded with a smile. Of course we will Harry. For days after hundreds of letters for myself and Harry came in. Coming from the chimney, door, windows. You name it and we had a letter come through it. Uncle Vernon was losing his mind and was shocked on Sunday when they were about to go out but hundreds of owls were outside. After that huge pile of letters came from the chimney again and Harry tried to get one so he could have his letter. I of course being sneaky grabbed one from the ground and hid it in my pants pocket. Uncle Vernon made us pack everything we had and took everyone to an old light house that was barely liveable. But no complaints from me seeing as we aren't in the closet. While everyone slept we quietly drew a cake with the dust on the floor and our names on it. Harry drew a few candles. "Happy birthday Harry" I said. "Happy birthday Rosa" he said. We held hands and blew the dust. Then we heard a big bang on the door. 'that must be Hagrid' I thought with a small smile that I immediately replaced with false tears hiding behind Harry. Everyone else woke up to the sound of the banging and Dudley ran to aunt petunia and uncle vernon. The door came down and I screamed faking fear. Hagrid came inside and fixed the door. "Harry Potter! There you are. Gotten big haven't ya?" He asked looking at Dudley.
"I'm harry" harry called. Hagrid saw him and me hiding behind him. "ah yes and there's little Rosa. You both grown quite a bit haven't ya" he said "oh almost forgot! I accidentally sat on it but oh well happy birthday" he said handing us each a box. We opened them and inside was a homemade cake with each of our names on it. I giggled as harry sat down his box for Dudley to grab and eat. I held mine close. That little pig won't be getting my cake. "Ah!" Hagrid scoffed and pointed his pink umbrella at Dudley and gave him a pig tail. "You little pig" he said. As Dudley noticed and ran to his mom. They were scared and yelling at Hagrid but he turned to me and Harry. "We keep this our little secret eh?" He said. "How did you do that?" Harry asked. "Well magic of course" Hagrid said. "but magic doesn't exist" harry replied. Hagrid scoffed "magic doesn't exist, poppy sock, of course magic exist, didn't your aunt and uncle tell ya, your parents were wizards harry" Hagrid said and shook his head. "Wizards?" We both said. "your a wizard harry, you are a witch Rosa" Hagrid told us. We looked at each other in shock as Hagrid was fussing to Aunt and Uncle. We looked back at Hagrid which caught his attention. "Well come on now, we got to get going, school supplies to get and then you two will stay with me for the rest of the summer." Hagrid said. It was only July 30th. "Oh that reminds me, I sent in your letters ahead of time for Minerva so don't worry bout that, off we go" Hagrid said as harry followed him. Hagrid stopped and turned back as did harry. "Aren't ya coming Rosa?" Hagrid asked. "O-our bag" I said looking to aunt who had taken it hostage. Hagrid walked over and grabbed it from her hand and gently gave it to harry. I walked out. Cake box still in my arms and off we went.

It was September 1st just as planned. Myself and Harry had to stay at the Inn for most of the summer, because of something Hagrid had to do for Dumbledore. Sorcerers stone most likely.
