Chapter One – Background Information

At the time of Merlin there were only four Noble Houses: the Potters, the Blacks, the Malfoys and the Weasleys. All four houses were gifted with handsome, intellectual children. However, Merlin's only daughter, Eliana, was hopelessly in love with the Malfoys oldest son, Marcus, and he was with her. But Merlin had arranged a marriage with the Weasleys oldest son; Edward. It was a loveless marriage and Marcus, heart-broken, fled the country.

After a year of strife and hate, Eliana gave birth to a baby girl who she named Morgana before drawing her last breath. Edward, displeased with the outcome of a girl, remarried to one of the Potter whores. Morgana attended Hogwarts when she was ten, was sorted into Slytherin and became Salazar's favourite student.

While her half brothers watched her loathingly from the shadows, Morgana learnt every aspect of both Black and White Magick while at school and became a Mistress of the Elements at the age of twenty-five.

When her favourite half-brother, Julius, was gifted with a daughter, Morgana, claimed the as her heir and began to teach the child, Gwen, as soon as she could walk and talk.

Alas, all would not end well. Morgana came foul to a Dark Wizard known as the Echo, and as she drew her last breaths, Gwen's eyes rolled back and she began to prophesies:

"The first Weasley daughter dies alone, her mother's first love scorned, the family of her father cursed. Until one daughter comes with the heart of a lion and the mind of a snake to heal a heart broken and save two families from ruin...their worlds shall be doomed..."
