The next day Estelle was ready to sit her tests, on the outside she looked calm and collected but on the inside she was raging with 'what if' questions:

'What if I fail'

'What if the teachers hate me'

She shook herself out of this trance. Estelle gradually realised everything will be okay.

"Wake up darling!" Aberforth bellowed from downstairs. El immediately jolted up from the bed, not wanting to anger Uncle Abe. She wore plain black Hogwarts uniform, because she didn't get sorted yet. The girl wandered what house she will be in, Abe told her not to worry because he doesn't care about the house rivalry; he will love her no matter if she is a Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff or Slytherin.

She then rushed downstairs to be greeted by the scent of a full English breakfast, the smell of bacon and sausages wafted into her nostrils.

"Mmh what have you cooked up today!" She exclaimed, moving closer towards the smell of fresh breakfast.

"Its all for you, my little Hogwarts student!" He explained ushering her into an empty seat, then handing her a plate. She hungrily gobbled down the plate of food, spilling her beans on her lap.

"Ugh." She mumbled trying to wipe the mess of but just made it worse.

"Already making a mess, huh!" He chuckled, taking out his wand to clean the mess.

"It's okay I've been practising a spell, I want to try it." She reassured. She pulled her own wand out and mumbled something on the line of 'scourgify' the beans lifted of her lap taking the mess with it.

"Impressive..." He noted roughing up her hair which was shoulder length and black.

"Spitting image of her father."

"Bet she'll end up in Azkaban just like him."

"Why isn't she locked up?"

The whispers went as she walked through Hogsmeade, she wasn't like her father at all; well she looked like him and that was about it. She was kind, compassionate and forgiving. Albus always said she had a space in Hufflepuff, she would like that as she grew close to Ms Sprout but she was also pretty fond of Aunty Minnie well she was her Aunt...

She had now arrived at Hogwarts, greeted by a trio of teachers.

"Aunty Minnie!" She exclaimed bringing Professor McGonagall into a embrace, when she finished she brought Albus into one.

"Hello dear." She replied warmly, making Severus roll his eyes at her kindness. El turned towards Snape and then curtseyed stuck out her hand which he shook.

"Good morning Professor Snape, Hogwarts esteemed potions master." She beamed her eyes shining with the admiration.

"Ms Black." He replied flat, slightly sneering. Minerva nudged him at his rudeness but Estelle continued smiling.

"Well then we should tell you about what will be happening today," Mr Dumbledore started smiling at Severus' antics, "You shall take some tests: Potions, Transfiguration, Herbology, Charms, Defence against the dark arts. The other subjects do not need tests, yet!"

"Alrighty!" She grinned. The teachers walked up the grand steps towards Hogwarts, until they came to a sudden halt.

"First will be potions!" Albus explained whilst pushing her to Snape. El and Snape didn't speak until they arrived at the classroom and got seated.
