"Very good. It's best to not hold back and go easy on your opponent. Especially when your opponent is me." The Ancient One speaks from her place directly behind Druella, causing the younger girl to jump slightly.

The headless body of the Ancient One in front of her faded away as if it was never there in the first place.

Before Druella could react, the Ancient one worked her magic and Druella was suddenly upside down, bound by her legs, and hung on a tree branch.

The sudden change caused her to drop her wand, which was swiftly caught by her future mother-in-law.

"I'm sorry to say that I'm not very impressed." The Ancient One says as she twirls Druellas wand between her finger. "You had to dodge a simple whip when it could have been easily blocked, and even when you did block it, you're shield fell apart like paper. The spell chain you did was okay for any other Hogwarts graduate, but not from someone wishing to marry my son. I do give you points for blowing up my illusions head though. It seems I'll have to talk Tom out of marrying you. I can't have my son marrying some weakling."

As the Ancient One taunts Druella with every word that comes out of her mouth, the upside-down girl slowly starts seeing red. Especially after hearing her last statement.

'How dare this bitch call me weak! Who does she think she is? If she thinks she can break me and Tom apart, she has another thing coming!' Druella internally curses the Ancient One's existence.

lifting her hand and pointing a finger at the bald woman before her, Druella channels all of her hate and anger into one spell.

"Crucio!" She calls and red magical lightning shoots from her pointed finger.

The red lightning sails through the air and lands perfectly on the bald sorceress's chest.

As soon as the spell touched her, the Ancient One winced and bit her bottom lip in pain.

'This spell is still as horrible as I remember it being.' The Ancient One thought, enduring the pain for a moment.

As the pain started to become a bit too unbearable, a circular set of golden runes and glyphs appeared on the back of the Ancient Ones right hand.

Pulling her hand backward, she backhand slaps the spell away from her, easily countering one of the most feared spells in the wizarding world.

Suddenly, Druella found that not only were her feet bound, but her hands are now tied behind her back as well.

"Wow, that curse is still nasty, huh?" The Ancient One breaths out as she wipes some sweat from her brow.

Druella was truly shocked with how the Ancient One easily handled her Crucio like that. She has never used that spell with such anger before, yet the Ancient One stayed standing and only winced a bit.

Not to mention the fact that she also backhanded it away, as if one of the unforgivables was nothing but a first-year spell.

Suddenly, Druella and the Ancient One appeared back in the room where they met.

Sitting across from one another with tea in hand, Druella wanted to throw up right then and there. Not only did she get moved without warning yet again, but she went from upside down to right side up as well.

After calming her raging stomach, Druella also noticed that her clothes and makeup were fixed and back to the state she arrived in.

"You pass." The Ancient One says calmly as she takes a sip of her tea.

"What?!" Druella dropped her cup and yelled in confusion.

"You pass. I accept you as my future daughter-in-law." She repeats and explains further. "Although after you graduate Hogwarts this year, you will be coming here every summer to learn the mystic arts from me personally. Tom has had and will have a dangerous life. He can't have a partner as powerless as you currently are. I'm sure that you're very powerful for the standards of the wizarding world, but there's a bigger and far more dangerous world beyond yours."

Hearing her future mother in laws words, Druella couldn't help but agree with her. Some of the things that Tom has faced are truly crazy.

Just thinking about encountering someone like Knull, the literal god of the Symbiote race, or any other god for that matter, sends chills up and down Druellas spine.

Now, she has an avenue to become powerful. Powerful enough to follow Tom wherever he goes. She could have his back and fight beside him even against gods and other powerful entities.

She always asked Tom to teach her the Mystic Arts, but Tom is a very busy man. It's also against the rules of Kamar-Taj to teach another without enrolling into Kamar-Taj first.

Seeing an opportunity like this appear before her, how could she ever pass it up?

"I accept. Thank you for this opportunity." Druella says thankfully.

"No problem. Just work hard and we won't have any problems. I've taught the best of prodigies down to the slowest of idiots, and every single one of them became powerful people. All it takes is time and hard work. As long as you give me that, I can promise that you'll become strong enough to fight by my sons side." The Ancient One says.

"I'll give you my best, I promise!" Druella says with determination.

After taking care of everything, the mother and daughter in laws started talking about lighter subjects. Both sides talked about small portions of their lives and how they met Tom, including some embarrassing stories they both had about him.

This is when Tom walked in and saw both Druella and the Ancient One sitting across from one another drinking tea and laughing. They looked like two friends that have been together for years.

"Uhhh... What happened while I was gone?"
