"I was a fool to think I could ever stay away from you as a kid. Just a taste of temptation and you'll have its sweetness on your lips forever."
Draco Malfoy and Estelle Vaile were allowed to care about each other once. How long can you ignore the...
A/N: Before this chapter starts, I would like to clarify some things about the magic in this chapter. I spent many hours researching Merlin's supposed powers both in the universe of Harry Potter and otherwise. He's too powerful to give all the abilities to a character I really want to struggle with both her confidence and magical ability for a while. Most children do at this age, right? It wouldn't be realistic for a student to be more powerful than Dumbledore or another powerful character. My version of Merlin's abilities will be covered a lot in the summer between the second and third year and throughout the rest of the series. But to be clear, she will NEVER be a seer. She will NEVER be an animagus. She will NEVER be a master of wandless magic, at least during the timeline of this fanfiction. As for her druid roots, the druid culture didn't believe in writing anything down as everything was taught orally. So I'm going to have to use a lot of lore and fantasy information about them but I found a good research reference from 1892 on a Scottish library's database. Druids typically studied up to 20 years learning their magic and culture. Seeing as no one is there to teach Estelle and at her age, I don't expect her to be particularly powerful as such a young girl anyway. But as for her natural ability, it will mostly come out with magical creatures, especially ones of intelligence or power like merfolk, giants, dragons, phoenixes. Think along the lines of Newt and Hagrid, or the women who founded the American wizarding school but a little more mystical for the entertainment of the fanfiction. That being said, she still ranks as one of the weaker students in her year and needs tutoring to keep up. Her saving grace for grades is potions, charms and herbology. One day care of magical creatures as well. It's why she wants to me a magizoologist. These special abilities by no means make her the most powerful in the trio or anything. Honestly, she's probably the weakest one depending on the kind of magic. Anyway, hope that wasn't too spoiler-y or anything. I just didn't want anyone thinking I created a God-Level Mary Sue but at the same time, I really want to put a spin on the familiar series in some way. Plus I really love the show Merlin, which will be pulled from.

If my entire being wasn't overflowing with rage and humiliation already I might have been excited to see the office of our curious headmaster hidden behind that ugly gargoyle statue. The looks I received from the other students as I trailed behind Professor McGonagall had me start making a list of all the things I was going to scream at Jareth. Hermione too! She's the one who couldn't help but overshare to Madam Pomfrey when she accompanied me to get one of the pepper up potions this week. She's just lucky I cut her off before she said anything important. Everyone was staring at me and whispering between their friends about why the Slytherin reject looked like a half-dead ghoul and was being escorted to the Head Master's office.
