Shin_Astah
Once infamous as a child prodigy of sight and transmutation, she was quietly removed from the world that feared her. Her name was struck from grimoires, her prophecies sealed, her gifts reduced to rumor. Left in the care of Muggle foster parents, she learned how to be ordinary-how to soften her hands, lower her gaze, and pretend the future did not whisper back.
Hogwarts was meant to be a return, not a reckoning. But magic remembers what the world tries to bury.
She arrived with a past no one recognized and a power she refused to use, carrying alchemy in her bones and visions she would rather burn than fulfill. Then there was a boy -sharp-tongued, immaculate, and far too perceptive for his own good. He noticed the way she watched the world like it might fracture. He noticed her.
What begins as distance becomes tension. What is resisted begins to change.
This is not a story of destiny fulfilled quickly, nor love found easily. It is a Great Work-slow, volatile, and irreversible. A transmutation of fear into choice, of silence into truth, of two people learning that becoming gold takes time, and surviving the fire first.
