Only You

Black Witch

Muriel's Past

Every villain has a story, for the Grand Black Witch had lived her youth traumatized by witch hunters. Who invaded her home to kill her mother. She watched from outside her home and saw her mother being dragged to the village.

"No! Let me go!" Muriel's mother tried to free herself.

"Shut up, you witch!" The hunter slapped her.

Arriving at the small village, Muriel saw the villagers gathered, all wanting her mother dead.

"Kill the witch!"

"Burn her!"

"Cut her head off!"

"Burn the witch!"

Her mother was in front of the platform," Please don't do this! I helped you all with your illnesses. My medicine cured you," Muriel watched her mother plead.

"She is the devil!"

"The devil bride!"

"Burn the witch!"

"Kill her!"

"She is found guilty of witchcraft. This is not acceptable to have in our town. Witch hunter, would you please kill this devilish woman," the town priest said.

The 7-year-old girl, shaking in fright, watches in horror as the witch hunter chops her mother's head mercilessly. The villagers cheered while the No-maj man lifted her mother's head like a trophy to kill her.

Since that day, Muriel swore revenge against no-majs. The Ministry forbade the exposure of Magic, ruled by selfish croons. That allows hundred of witch execution to happen.

Ilvermorny

1st Year

In 1892, Muriel attended Ilvermorny. She became a Horned Serpent. In the same house, she met her best friend, Amata Steward, a young witch from a wealthy family. Both girls met in their first year, after the sorting ceremony.

"You must be Muriel Addams," Amata entered her new dorm.

"Yes, and you must be Amata, I believe," Muriel was certain the brunette girl is related to the founder.

"Yes, it's quite nice. Isn't it? I finally get to do whatever I want. As long as we study hard, our parents won't send a howler," Amata began to settle in her dorm.

Muriel didn't know what to say. She had lost her mother. She is being raised by a distant relative, who treats her like a maid. She is glad to be away from her great aunt.

"I live with my aunt. But adults are like broken records when calling out your name 20x a day. MURIEL, GET YOUR LAZY ASS UP! MURIEL, GO TO THE MARKET! MURIEL, GO GET THIS! GO GET THAT! Ugh! I sure won't miss that during my time here," Muriel explained how she found her great aunt annoying.

Amata chuckled," You are funny," Amata complimented, surprising Muriel. She never thought of herself being humorous.

"I have a feeling we will be best friends, Muriel," Amata smiled. Both girls shook hands as the mark of the beginning of their friendship.

Amata has brains and would easily read from people. Amata was blunt, honest about things, and caring towards Muriel.

Muriel liked her distinctive character. She was boring like other modest school girls. She likes Amata's sense of thinking and her value of ancient magic.
