Magical to the Bone (HP AU)

The words echoed through your mind as you lay in your room on the girl's side of the orphanage. You had read those words in an odd book you found in the public library of all places. No matter what you do, no one else seems to be able to notice the book.

Granted, they might try and take the book away if they could. After all, the magic inside does work. It tires you out, but it does work. You managed to use the spell that created a bone dagger, though your not sure how much you will need that.

You wish you knew who put it in the library, why they did it, and why you are the only person who can see the book. There are so many questions that you have about this book, and you have no answers.

You sigh, as you open the book up once more. Perhaps the answers lay within.

Your Name is...
[ ] Write-in

And you are now a necromancer.
