24 parts Ongoing Aurora Eloise Sanderson seemed like an ordinary witch-but how normal could life be when your best friends were Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley? How normal could it be when your magic refused to follow the rules? And how normal could it be when you were hopelessly in love with Fred Weasley?
From the moment she set foot in Hogwarts, Aurora was different. Spells bent to her will without incantations, barriers formed before she even realized she needed them, and raw magic pulsed in her veins-alive, untamed, and unlike anything the world had seen before.
"Albus, I've never seen a student like her... Her magic doesn't just follow spells-it follows her."
"This girl, Minerva, is instinctive magic incarnate. She still has much to learn, but one day, she will do great things."
Through the years, she stood by Harry, facing the rising darkness together. But her greatest battle wasn't the war-it was Fred Weasley. She loved him, but no matter how close they became, he never truly let her in.
"I'm done breaking my own heart over and over again."
"Aurie,-."
"No safe it. I can't do this anymore. I'm done trying and hoping for something that might never happen."
She hated how much she ached for someone who was just out of reach.
"I miss him, and that's pathetic. I miss someone who isn't mine, dream about someone who isn't mine, and love someone who isn't mine."
But magic, like love, could not be forced or tamed. And whether Fred realized it or not, he had already become part of the magic within her.
"After all this time, it's always been you... and I don't think it can ever be anyone else."
