On her 12th birthday, Elinor Conray got a letter from Albus Dumbledore saying that she was accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She was hyped about it, but her parents said she couldn't go. She was to be homeschooled. Her mother did educate her in magic, though.
When Elinor turned 15, she wrote back to Albus Dumbledore, asking if she could still start at Hogwarts. He told her yes, and so she did. She had to be tutored on what she had missed, though.
And, as luck will have it, one of her tutors was Draco Malfoy. Contrary to everything she heard about him, she enjoyed his presence. But she has to hate him. Right?
