Arthurian Era

ME's POV

Merlin arrived Camelot sadly only for the Queen, Guinevere, herself to came running to him and hugged him.

"Oh Merlin…"

"I…"

"I know." She agreed, just as wretchedly. "Come, I need my Personal Counsellor by my side."

"Gwen."

Gwen moved back and smiled sadly.

"Who better than the Court's Magician as my Personal Counsellor?"

Tears rolled down Merlin's eyes and he nodded, following her inside.

"Merlin." He turned to find Percival. "Gwaine's dead."

Merlin's eyes grew, before he nodded mournfully.

"So is Morgana."

"Good." The Knight of Camelot agreed harshly.

Merlin frowned at feeling a strange magic and turned towards Gwen.

"Gwen?"

"Yes, Merlin?"

"Are you magical?"

"No, you know that." She argued, stopping and looking back. "Why do you ask?"

"I… I can feel magic from you."

Gwen and Percival shared looks.

"Send word to Gaius to came to the Queen's chambers." Percival ordered to a passing servant who bowed and fled. "My Lady." He added to Gwen while pointing towards the stairways.

Gwen nodded, letting the Knight and Merlin escort her to Arthur… her chambers. When Gaius arrived Merlin and Percival left him inside alone with the Queen. Sir Leon came running, not long later.

"The Queen?"

"Gaius is with her." Merlin put in.

"Do you think Lady Morgana…?"

The door opened and Gaius stepped out.

"Gaius?" Merlin asked, afraid.

Camelot had just lost the King; it couldn't lose the Queen as well. Merlin couldn't.

"The Queen's fine. Great, actually."

"And the magic in her?" Percival wondered. "Merlin could feel it."

"The Queen's not cursed. She's with child, Lad."

Merlin gaped and a look at the Knights told him he wasn't the only one.

"Arthur's Heir." Merlin whispered and Gaius nodded. "That's the magic?"

"It must be very powerful indeed for you to feel it so early on. The child will need your tutoring like you needed mine, Merlin."

Merlin found himself smiling sadly for the first time since he'd buried Arthur in Avalon and nodded.

Summer 1940

TMR's POV

Tom watched as his godfather sighed yet again. Centuries may have passed and He still could not get over Tom's Ancestor, Arthur Pendragon.

He narrowed his eyes and swore right there and then that he, Tom Marvolo Riddle, would never fall in love. Actually; he would've find a ritual to get rid of the feeling completely!

–PB–

September 1943

Tom waited inside the cupboard for Slughorn to finally leave his office.

He could've done the ritual back at his godfather's place. It would've been easier. No need to sneak it and steal. No fear of being found out since this ritual of the Old Religion was still seen as Dark Magic. Very Dark indeed.

Finally, the fat blond wizard left his office. It was good to know the alcohol Tom had slipped him earlier was starting to make effect. He left his hiding place and went to the office taking the ingredients that he couldn't steal from the students' ingredients storage.

Someone would say this took too much work for the after effects, Tom didn't mind. He knew exactly what he was going to do. Every single detail. Tom had found the perfect way to never feel love. As if someone would've ever be good enough for him…

Tom smirked at finding the last ingredient. At last!

He left the office and run to the Room of Come and Go. He picked his cauldron and got ready.

"When I, Tom Marvolo Riddle, fall in love will be for one person.

"One with dark as night," Tom picked the Wool of Bat and set it on the cauldron, "and unruly as a tornado hair." Then he added the Cat Hair.

"Will have the most vivid eyes" Newt Eyes were added to the mix, "yet deadly like the death curse." Tom smirked and joined the Valerian Root, as if…

"Whose blood shares two magical creatures incompatible to each other." Immediately Snake Poison and Infusion of Wormwood were added together, making the potion to start fuming.

"Will have innocent personality" Tom sneered and went for the Unicorn Horn, "yet scarred inside and out." Which was followed by Dried Nettle.

"With magic" Fairy Wings "yet raised among muggles." And Daisy Roots were added, making Tom glare at the potion.

"Famous" Graphorn Horn was added, which was kind of a waste, "yet unwillingly." Sloth Brain was added then.

"Powerful Light Core" Moly Petals, "yet tainted with a flick of Dark." Nightshade immediately followed the petals.

"Cute and shy" Puffskein Heart "yet strong and fierceful." Dragon Liver, another that was a waist of ingredient. Good thing he wasn't paying.

"Polite and cautious" Lionfish Spine, "yet blunt and bold." Mistletoe Berries. Tom sighed, getting ready for the last verse.

"A Slytherin in soul" Snake Fang "but a Gryffindor in heart."

With the Griffin Claws Tom held his breath as he waited. If this worked, Tom was free. There would never be one that would fulfil all the requirements of the curse. He would never have to worry about love.

The teenager stepped back and closed his eyes as he felt the magic taking effect.

He was free.

KAP's POV

A blond man crawled out of the lake, gasping for air. He looked down at his naked body and then up. He had died, how was he alive?

"Here, you can have this."

The blond looked at the young woman before him – around 9-year-old, 11-year-old at maximum – who was holding to him a shirt and trousers, although no undergarments. He nodded and stood out of the water, letting the girl help him out.

"Where are we?"

The green-eyed dark-haired girl looked at him strangely.

"Just outside Privet Drive, sir. Near Glastonbury."

Confused, the blond looked at the lake and then he saw what it was. Avalon.

"Thank you, Morgana."

"It's Harry."

"Where's Merlin?"

The girl groaned.

"How much have you drank last night?"

"Excuse me?"

"A naked man emerges from a lake. Either two things: lunatic or drunk."

Arthur huffed and started to walk to the town the girl spoke about. When she didn't immediately follow him, he called for her.

"Morgana!"

The girl huffed.

"Well, it's better than to be Dudley's punching bag."

Arthur's eyes narrowed as she run to follow him. Who was the right man who would dare hurt a woman? Even if as young as Morgana's?

They would've make a stop by this Dudley before he'd acquire a horse.
