After Everett's seventeenth birthday, he decides it's time to grow up, to really take into consideration of his duties and work as the fifth born heir to the throne, in a kingdom that used to live among all creatures fantastical and powerful. But it doesn't help he's absolutely obsessed with all things mythical and magical. And it certainly doesn't further help when he meets a very irked and pessimistic boy with half the genes of a human and the other half of a harpy, making him one of the only survivors of a mass mythical raid. Everett vows that nothing will get in his way of keeping this boy safe from the greedy hands of barbarity and exploitation. So with the help of his very best friends and his expanding knowledge of mythical existence, he is going to attempt to bring some light onto this boy's life.

Most students are thrilled to start their magical education at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry but the resourceful and enigmatic Miss Darling is not. When the Ministry decided her fate was to attend school as a 5th year she planned to soak up just enough skills to survive and return to the clandestine world she knows. Unfortunately her path to ultimate freedom and autonomy seems to run into endless obstacles of ancient magic secrets, unwanted responsibility and, most vexing of all, people she actually kinda likes. *** Book I of this fanfiction takes place during the events of Hogwarts Legacy, following the story of an original protagonist, the young Miss Darling. Much has been added and changed to tell the story of this character. Some of the events follow the game closely while others deviate significantly and some events have been added entirely. It is a new take and sets the stage for two following books that are already in the works. This is a transformative work based on the Harry Potter franchise by J.K. Rowling and Portkey Games Hogwarts Legacy. Consider this first book a fresh look at the game through an original lense presented in a literary format. The two books we have in the works following this one will be uncharted territory. *** What to Expect: Miss Darling comes from a mysterious but clearly dubious upbringing that makes her a far cry from your typical Hogwarts student. She is very much an anti hero who engages in a lot of questionable behavior but strives to at least try to be a decent person. It is a rotating third person perspective where we will see things through the eyes of many different characters. The story primarily focusses on the Slytherin trio of Darling, Sebastian and Ominis. This is rated mature for violence. While there are some crushes confused and slow burning relationships typical for adolescence our protagonists have quite a bit on their plate so this is first and foremost and action adventure.
