Cursed Beginnings, Chosen Endings (D.Malfoy) **Coming Soon**

Summary:

Born of dark magic and buried fairy‑tale curses, Elliora Mills arrives in the wizarding world carrying a past she doesn't fully remember-and a destiny she fears inheriting. Raised far from the Enchanted Forest and known at Hogwarts as a quiet, observant Ravenclaw, Ellie struggles to reconcile the light within her with the shadow of her lineage as the Evil Queen's daughter. When her ancient, emotion‑driven magic begins to surface, she finds an unexpected mirror in Draco Malfoy-a boy shaped by legacy, expectation, and the weight of family sins. As realms brush dangerously close and old curses stir, Ellie and Draco are forced to confront who they were born to be versus who they choose to become. Together, they learn that fate may be written in curses-but endings are always a choice.

House: Ravenclaw House

Personality:

Growing up, under the care of Mae, Ellie was a perceptive child who seemed to have the continuous ability to always be reading the room, and notably observant. She is a thoughtful individual with a compassionate and kind nature, and is fiercely loyal to those she cares about, a trait that Regina notes she inherited from her biological father Daniel.

Ellie has a dry and understated sense of humour, and quick-witted, Ellie came appear as being rather quiet and withdrawn from those around her as a result of the quiet melancholy of someone born from curses and tragedy.

As time goes on, and Ellie begins to unravel and understand her past, she finds herself at many crossroads, developing an inner and powerful conflict of emotions regarding her magic – the light aspect related to her natural affinity and the dark aspect related to her lineage being the daughter of the Evil Queen.

Ellis is rather studious, and can be found in the common room, tucked away in a corner reading a book.

She develops a strong moral code – learning the difference between right and wrong, which enables her to gain courage and determination to make sure she doesn't make the same mistakes as her mother, however has a deep rooted fear that despite her passion to prevent history repeating itself, she worries about the chance she might.

Patronus: White stag with black-tipped antlers - symbolising the blend of Daniel's purity and Regina's darkness.

Wand: Blackthorn Wood with Phoenix feather, 11¾ inches and slightly springy.

Ellie's wand holds a rare variant of the phoenix species, which is native within the Enchanted Forest. Her wand wood reflects the fact that the flame that reacts to Ellie's emotions compared to other wand woods that respond to intent instead. Her wand reflects her survival instincts that have emerged predicting her future that will be shaped by conflict, as well as the strength of her passionate loyalty to those she cares about and are in need.

Her wand's appearance takes the form of Dark wood laced with silver veining that glows faintly when she channels wandless magic alongside the wand.

Unlike other wands, Ellie's wand is composed of a Unique Trait: Her wand "sings" when used for protective magic and emits faint black sparks when used under anger — mirroring her dual heritage of light and darkness.

Belongings:

Heart-shaped locket given by Regina — magically sealed.

A small, fractured piece of an Enchanted Mirror that sometimes whispers guidance.

A diary bound in enchanted leather that absorbs ink unless the writer is telling the truth.

A willow-woven charm bracelet from her adoptive guardian, Mae.

Transfiguration textbooks marked with marginalia that appear to be written by someone else (Regina's magic echoing across realms)

A white-feather quill that never runs out of ink, a gift from Dumbledore

A small pouch of forest herbs from the Forbidden Forest's centaurs, who recognise her old‑magic aura.

TRIVIA

She speaks occasional archaic Enchanted Forest dialects when stressed

Butterflies are drawn to her magic

Her tears can heal minor wounds — but only if shed from genuine sorrow

She has an uncanny ability to calm magical beasts

When she casts powerful spells, petals or feathers materialise around her

Portraits react unusually strongly to her presence, as if sensing something other‑realmly

She hates apples without knowing why

Her favourite flowers are orchids, daisies and bluebells.

She likes art and particularly watercolours.

She enjoys reading Muggle stories, including Oliver Twist and Little Women.

BOGGART - Her own reflection transforming into the Evil Queen — black eyes, crowned, smiling cruelly. Ellie's fear is not becoming, like her mother evil instead hurting the people she loves in the same way Regina once did.

AMORTENTIA - She smells:

Fresh parchment (Hogwarts) (a place where she gains a sense of belonging – an extension of the farm, where she grew up).

Blackthorn smoke (her wand wood) - (something that is a part of her, and her identity).

Storm‑soaked roses (Regina's emotional signature) - (the connection and desire to find her mother Regina, the connection that is complicated with desire to find her mother again but fear what it would mean to be a part of Regina's life again and be the Evil Queen's daughter again.

Green apples — though it unsettles her (another connection to her lineage in the Enchanted Forest, her roots to Regina and an example of Regina's mistakes).

And faintly...the crisp scent of expensive broom polish and cold winter air — Draco Malfoy - (the one who would become her soulmate).

JOB AFTER THE WAR

Elliora becomes a Magical Diplomat and Ambassador Between Realms, specialising in:

Magical creature communication

Inter‑realm relations

Stabilising magical tears, portals, and accidental crossings

Eventually she takes a role like:

Keeper of Inter-Realm Peace, ensuring the magical worlds (Hogwarts, Storybrooke, Enchanted Forest) remain balanced.

She and Draco work together post-war — Draco joining her in goodwill missions, redemption arcs, and bridging wizard politics with magical realm alliances.

Magical Abilities (Because she originates from the Enchanted Forest):

Natural aptitude for emotion-based magic

Can perform wandless magic in bursts (uncontrolled at first)

Strong talent in Transfiguration (linked to shapeshifting magic in her family line)

Occasional prophetic dreams

Struggles with magic tied to anger — it too closely resembles Regina's dark magic
