  Summary

  'And anyone who kicks a dog should not be surprised when it bites.'

  ---

  Clara Potter had always been a strange girl. Left in an orphanage to rot at the tender age of four, scorned by everyone, even the rats who chittered in the darkness of the basement, she sets off for Hogwarts with a single goal in mind - to make the wizarding world kneel to her will.

  [currently in third year]
