People loves the appeal of an adventure and enjoys the intriguing meaning of riddles. It's a human nature to be curious and get into conclusions.

Eurus is a part of this riddle, a tough game that is too difficult to crack but in reality, it was just too easy. People tend to get straight forward to their conclusions based on what they see and not what they observed.

This was the case for Tom Riddle.

The moment that the tall redhead stepped into that stool, is the moment that he underestimated her. But despite that, his curiosity never ceased.

Tom, himself, favored purebloods and had this plan to befriend the three of the Novak's when he heard that they will attend Hogwarts. All three of them will be his weapon except for Eurus, who was believed as a half-blood.

He knew about the stories of the power that only the pure Novak's would have. Even after 500 years, he believed that it was still there, waiting to be awoken.

When the three of them stepped on that very hall, he knew that he can be his ally, someone that he can use. But then, Eurus came, and his perception of who of the three would get the power changed.

He's confused at first. He knows that only the pure would receive it but he saw and felt something and he knew that it was all on Eurus and not on her three cousins. Because of that, he became more eager to find it out.

So, on that very year, he made a big move on his game that didn't went unnoticed by Eurus. She never told him about it but had a suspicion about his actions and aims.

As odd as it is, Wednesday's was never the day that Eurus likes. She hates it for some reason. So, on that Wednesday morning, Estella, who's apparently her roommate, found an already ready Eurus, lying on the Ravenclaw's couch, playing a solemn melody on her violin as she wallowed in self pity.

A frown was etched on her face while her feet dangled on the edge of the couch, which has been too small for her height, as the other Ravenclaw students gave her a confused look but said nothing, in fear that she would fight back.

"Get up, darling. We have charms first thing, today." She tugged Eurus slightly who didn't budged and continued playing the solemn melody.

When Estella tried to pull her away, Eurus faced the backrest, still playing.

Estella rolled her eyes and placed her hands on her hips in a motherly manner. Estella learned that after just a few hours talking with Eurus, she wasn't as bad as her cousins seemed to be. She's funny, smart, talented and overall, dramatic. She's also very blunt and doesn't give a shit about something that she doesn't care about.

Eurus looked momentarily at the Ravenclaw prefect. "No. Let me play in D Major." She said, lying back, facing the ceiling to get more comfortable.

Estella once again, rolled her eyes and inhaled, getting ready for her rant. "I'm a prefect and you will follo-" She started but was cut short by the redhead herself.

"You can't use that against me. That's defamatory" She looked back up at Estella when the composition ended.

"What song do you like?" She inquired, changing the subject. A smart move considering that Estella can be easily distracted.
