War. Pain. Betrayal
War. Pain. Betrayal?
'you have to remember...'
Cordelia fluttered her eyes awake and stared blankly at her ceiling, this was the third time this week she had been plagued with the same nightmare.
And she had no idea what it meant.
Cordelia came from a family of seers; her mother, Eloisa Durras was known as the most successful and gifted seer in England, if not further. So imagine the disappointment and shame felt when her only beloved daughter had no sign of any sort of seeing ability.
Her mother, of course, tried her best to hide her dismay but this was not always successful. Cordelia felt the weight of being the only Durras seemingly not bestowed with the gift and it weighed heavily upon her. This guilt and constant drag of her not feeling good enough led to an overcompensation and need for approval for other achievements such as schooling.
She was the best of the best at Hogwarts, constantly astounding her professors with her otherworldly knowledge and impossible marks. Her family also shared in the praise, but it never quite seemed to be enough.
Her thirst for knowledge and approval was unquenchable. Her achievements could not be matched and her success was inevitable. Except for one tiny detail.
Him.
