A long time ago, before the Founders Four of Hogwarts, there was an idiot manservant to a king named Merlin.

Of course, this 'idiot' was, in fact, the greatest sorcerer of all time, manservant to the greatest King of all time.

The king had a sister named Morgana. Merlin and Morgana hated each other. After Arthur's death and being sent into the Lake, Merlin fell in love. So did Morgana.

They had children, and their children had children and so on and so forth. Their children were always battling against each other.

Until two of the direct descendants of Merlin and Morgana fell in love.

It was during one of the most perilous times in magical history-when Voldemort was rising.

Merlin and Morgana had died of old age, knowing they would hate each other in the next life.

But that wasn't the case.

The two direct descendants of Merlin and Morgana had a child named her Merlin. However, this Merlin wasn't just the reincarnation of Merlin himself-she was the reincarnation of both Merlin and Morgana.

Merlin le Fay was going to change the world.

One night, the le Fay family was just playing with their lovely daughter when someone entered the grounds.

Alert, the parents of the last descendant hid the child. Not even their Secret-Keeper knew the existence of Merlin le Fay.

Merlin knew enough to keep silent. That Halloween proved to be the most tragic Halloween ever in the history of the magical world.

The nearly one-year-old simply listened for her mommy and daddy. When an old man with a beard opened the door minutes later, Merlin knew her mommy and daddy were gone.

The child knew who killed them, too. The old bearded man.

He raised a stick.

"Obliviate."

A few days later, they were found.

MOST MAGICAL BLOODLINES END WITH FORREST LE FAY AND LUNA LE FAY

Forrest le Fay was the last living descendant of the sorceress Morgana, Salazar Slytherin, and Rowena Ravenclaw. Luna le Fay, maiden name Gray, was the last living descendant of the sorcerer Merlin, Godric Gryffindor, and Helga Hufflepuff. It is yet unclear whether or not the couple were killed by Death Eaters or not.

Evidence does suggest a child lived there; however, no child has been revealed.

A man with scarlet eyes scanned the article and frowned.

"Tom, isn't most of the le Fay family dead?" Lily Potter asked. Breaking Tom's Imperius Curse had been difficult, nearly impossible. Lily had once been a staunch supporter of Dumbledore, but after evidence had come to life, the Marauders and Lily had been swayed to 'neutral'. Lily claimed it was because she didn't want Harry targeted by Riddle when she was telling Dumbledore her reasons, but in reality the fact was Dumbledore was a manipulative old coot.

"Now only a child remains," Tom nodded. "Thank you, Lily, James, for this."

Lily tilted her head and smiled. "Just as long as you don't tattoo us, we're good!" she smiled.

James chuckled. "Come on, Lils. We have to go to your sister's."

Lily made a face. "Alright, fine."

They never knew that when they came back, they would be killed, but Riddle would only mark Harry, as if the Killing Curse would rebound.

They couldn't know that Dumbledore had been there, listening to them.
