THE NAMES ELLERY MEANS CHEERFUL, HAPPY. A FEELING THAT WAS COMMON TO EVANGELISTA BLACK WHEN WITH HER BABY DAUGHTER. One of Ellery Black's first memories and it was also the only of her mother. It was at the Cinder's family cottage in France. When she was six years old. She was running through a field of tall grass surrounded by flowers and trees. A butterfly had landed on her shoulder.
The black hair little girl gasped in surprise, when she did she heard her mother laugh at the girls adorable reaction. The young witch ran into her mother's arms as she said, "mommy." Ehva scooped Ellery into her arms. Ellery wrapped her arms around her mother's waist as she clung to her mother. Ehva's green eyes met her daughters, she combed her hand through Ellery's black hair. In which she loved it reminded her of Sebastian's, Sebastian said that Ellery looked so much like her mother.
Ehva reached her finger out and the butterfly came off Ellery's shoulder and on to Ehva's finger. In her beautiful british accent she explained to her daughter. "My love there's nothing to be afraid of, butterflies are beautiful, delicate creatures but not defenseless. Instead of taking a violent approach they do the smart thing, they use their wings to camouflage themselves into their surroundings."
She put out her hand with her palm facing towards the sky, Ehva whispered, "expecto patronus." Her patronus a beautiful butterfly appeared in the sky and flew around little Ellery. Who proceed to giggle and Ehva smiled at the tiny witch. The butterfly patronus flew behind the girls, they turned to she Sebastian. The butterfly patronus landed on Sebastian's nose, Ehva waved her hand it the butterfly disappeared.
"There are my girls." Sebastian said as he Sebastian walked over to the girls, he put his arm around Ehva and cupped Ellery's little head and kissed Ellery's forehead.
"Dada," Ellery said.
"Hello there darling," he turned to Ehva. "I see you are showing her your favorite spell." He looked at Ellery. "See your mother has a bit of an obsession with the patronus charm."
Ehva playfully hit his shoulder, "I do not."
"Yes you do my love it's adorable you have been hanging out with that butterfly since the day I met you." To Ellery, "She loved it so much that your mother affectionately named her Maisie."

A decade later Ellery was walking through the halls of Ilvermorny with her friends Bianca and Catlynn. Much to her dismay Ilvermorny records had her listed as Elle Whitlock, her father thought the change of name would keep her safe and until that day it did. Like her dad always said, "The best illusions are always the most convincing." It was dark out,and the three young witches were walking to the dorms for bed. When Ellery heard whispers.
"Sssai asafay ssayafay eh sssahsh ehyassameh ssseletheyeh sanah."
Ellery stopped in her tracks when she heard the voice. Catlynn and Bianca turned, "You coming Elle?"
"Go ahead I'll meet you guys in the dorms." Ellery replied, they other two witches nodded and walked off. The black haired witch walked down a long secluded hallway, following the whispers in parseltongue. When she got to the end of the hallway, she felt the presence of someone behind her. She quickly turned around and saw a cloaked figure, she was suddenly surrounded by cloaked figures. "Excuse me, who are you? I think drama club finished an hour ago." When nothing happened Ellery pulled out her wand.
One of the cloaked figures pulled out there wand and shot a green light out of his wand, Ellery quickly deflected it with her magic. "Now that wasn't very nice," Ellery said. Then she heard someone shout from behind them.
"Get down!"
And then.
"Reducto!"
An explosion happened above Ellery and the cloaked figures. Ellery was quickly apparated by another person, behind a wall. She looked was know next to a gingered haired man, "who are you?!"
That is all the Ellery Black remembered before she fell unconscious.
