In the candle-lit halls of Hogwarts, where magic stirs with every whisper, Harry Potter begins his first year - unaware that fate has woven another soul into his journey.
Elsa Scamander, silent as snowfall and powerful as a storm, arrives cloaked in...

"It is , but not more that you"
♡♡♡♡♡♡
After the train ride, we arrived at the village near Hogwarts.
"First years, this way please," called a giant man.
Anna and I recognized him at once.
It was Hagrid.
Mum and Dad had told us so much about him - stories filled with dragons, warmth, and his great love for all magical creatures.
We stepped off the train and followed the sound of his voice.
"Hullo, Harry, Elsa, and Anna," Hagrid greeted us with a smile.
"Woahh," Ron breathed, taking in Hagrid's towering frame.
"This way to the boats - follow me," Hagrid instructed, turning to lead the way.
We found dozens of boats waiting for us, and just as we'd been told, we sat four to a boat - me, Anna, Harry, and Ron together. I sat beside Harry, and Anna next to Ron.
The boats began to drift across the black lake, smooth and silent.
And then - a castle, tall and shimmering in the moonlight, rose before us.
Gasps echoed as everyone took in the breathtaking sight.
"It's beautiful," I whispered.
"It is," Harry said softly, his eyes on me. "But not more than you."
I glared at him, but turned my face away quickly to hide the blush warming my cheeks.
My fingers brushed the lake's surface - and the water beneath turned to ice.
I snapped my hand back.
When we reached the castle, we disembarked one by one. As I stepped out, the boat rocked beneath me. I lost balance.
Harry offered his hand.
But I, ever stubborn, ignored it.
Instead, I pointed at the water near the boat and froze it solid.
Gasps followed, but I paid no attention.
Harry's smirk faded, a quiet frown tugging at his mouth. Perhaps I'd hurt his feelings.
Anna and Ron joined me, and together, we followed Hagrid up to the castle steps.
Inside, we climbed a long staircase and found a tall witch in emerald-green robes waiting.
"Welcome to Hogwarts," she greeted. I recognized her from Dad's stories - Professor McGonagall.
"In a few moments, you will walk through these doors and join your classmates. But before taking your seats, you must be sorted into your houses. They are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin.
