Mirrim was in the library again, poring over a book of curses. It was one of the few books not in the restricted section that focused on how to perform curses rather than block them. Mirrim was fascinated by the dark arts , many of her professors expected her to either join the ministry or take on the role of the defence against the dark arts teacher after completing her studies. She excelled in that particular subject. It was true that Mirrim showed promise in all her subjects, even Professor Snape had, somewhat grudgingly, admitted it, but defence against the dark arts was clearly her forte. She only had to hear an incantation once and she could perform it as though she'd been doing it all her life. Therefore it was Professor Lupin who sung her praises the most. It was not only the practical side she was good at either, her essays were nearly always longer than Professor Lupin asked for and never contained anything irrelevant or uninteresting. In everybody's eyes Mirrim had something extraordinary about her, she was the only student in the school who, in defence against the dark arts, rivalled Harry Potter.

A/N Sorry it's short but it's only a prologue to introduce Mirrim
