Becoming Calla by FearlessFlyer
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 19]
Summary:
**NEW CHAPTER**
Muggle-born Calla thinks she is prepared for life at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. After all, her parents both went to boarding school, so what could be so different?
Calla soon finds out that expectations are never the same as reality, and learns more than she ever thought she would about loyalty, friendship, good and evil.
A/N: This story takes place during the Next Generation era. JKR’s characters have small parts throughout, but are not the main characters. I’m continuing in the alternate universe I began in Snape’s Son, but reading this previous one-shot is not required, unless you want to of course :)
The rating for most of the story is 3-5th years, with warnings for the end chapters.
