SUMMARY :
It came as no surprise to anyone - and especially not her family - when Scarlett Scamander became inspired by her grandfather's legacy as a renowned Magizoologist and dreamed of following in his footsteps one day.

Driven by her insatiable curiosity and deep compassion for magical creatures, Scarlett embarks on daring adventures into the Forbidden Forest, seeking to expand her knowledge beyond her Care for Magical Creatures class.

But her reckless pursuits soon catch the attention of Bill Weasley, a familiar face who transitions from mere acquaintance to a significant presence in her life. As his concern for her safety grows, so does an unexpected bond between them, leading Scarlett to discover not only the wonders of magical creatures but also the depths of her own heart.

ADDITIONAL NOTES :
━ So this plot actually features two love stories, not just one. Scarlett is paired with Bill Weasley and Guinevere is paired with Arianna Crouch. Although the story will mainly focus on Scarlett and Bill, I'd like for you to still show Guinevere and Arianna's development, especially considering Guinevere and Scarlett are twins and very close.

━ Scarlett and Bill are a fast burn. Guinevere and Arianna are a slow burn. Like, the slowest of slow burns. It's actually laughable how long it takes those two to man up and face their feelings. But anyway, onto the plot.

━ As requested, both Scarlett and Guinevere (and their younger brother, Hugh) are part of the Sacred 28. Or, in this case, the Sacred 29 since I went with your idea of a new bloodline of pure-bloods. I kept the surname Chevalier from your notes because I liked the sound of it... and also because I couldn't come up with a new surname I liked better.

━ All details for the Chevalier family will be provided in the Google Doc.

━ Sadly, I couldn't include your ideas for fixing time travel (although I tried like hell, believe me, it just didn't work with the story), or including Greek Mythology in some way. But I was able to work in some fairytales and your idea of a descendant of a founder!

━ The fairytales I adapted into this plot are Snow White and Rose Red, and Beauty and the Beast. The references I've made with Snow White and Rose Red will be shown through the loving and supportive relationship of sisters Scarlett and Guinevere. Whose names are, yes, you guessed it, also references to the fairytale. Scarlet, obviously for Rose Red, and Guinevere (which means white) for Snow White. The references I made with Beauty and the Beast are shown not only through Scarlett's fondness for magicial creatures, but also through her romantic relationship with Bill, especially after he receives werewolf traits.

━ The OC directly related to a founder are actually more than one OC. It's the whole damn Chevalier bloodline. They're a direct line to Rowena Ravenclaw and are damn proud of it. Like, they are always looking for some way to bring that up, I'm not even kidding.

━ Now, I know what you're probably thinking. Why would I pair Danielle Rose Russell with Bill Weasley when his face claim is considerably older than her? Well, don't worry, there's adult face claims for Scarlett, Guinevere and Arianna. I've also given Bill a younger face claim for you to work with for when he's in Hogwarts. Which, yes, that is the era I've chosen, if it wasn't already obvious.

━ A full cast list will be provided in the Google Doc.

━ Now a little bit about Arianna. She and Barty Crouch Jr. are half-siblings. After his first wife died, Barty remarried and that's how Arianna was born. Her mother will be mentioned a few times here and there, as she's still very much alive. Only she's not really with Barty anymore. They're separated on good terms, though.

━ And now a little bit about Guinevere. While her twin sister, Scarlett, dreams of becoming a Magizoologist, Guinevere hopes to become a Potioneer one day, and to open up her own Apothecary in Diagon Alley to sell her potions.

━ The first book (yes there's more than one, you mentioned series and I got carried away) will be set during Bill's last two years at Hogwarts. In that time, him and Scarlett will go from mere acquaintances to lovers.

━ Although they are a fast burn, Scarlett and Bill are kind of a... love-hate relationship at first? While she is very kind to him and finds him incredibly sweet, Bill finds her... well, annoying. But then she worms her way into his heart and the rest is pretty much history.

━ The reason why Bill is so annoyed by her is because he finds her sneaking off into the Forbidden Forest because she's so curious about the magicial creatures that live there. And no matter how many times he tells her not to go in there because it's dangerous and she can get hurt, or worse, killed, she never listens to him. Of course, he's only so annoyed by her stubbornness because he finds himself caring deeply for her, but shhh. Bill is so dumb he doesn't even know that.

━ But anyway, that's pretty much how that goes; Scarlett sneaking off into the Forbidden Forest, rambling on to Bill about magicial creatures and telling him all about her dreams, teaching Bill everything there is to know about magicial creatures, Quidditch games, a first date during one of their Hogsmeade visits, and so on. They're basically the cutest right after Bill stops finding her so annoying.

━ They should already be dating during their last year at Hogwarts. And there should have been a ton of letters exchanged between them during the summer because they are so stupidly in love that they write to each other constantly. (There will definitely be some teasing from Guinevere.)

━ Guinevere and Arianna are not together at any point during their Hogwarts years. Like I said, slowest of slow burns.

━ After graduation, Bill got a job working at Gringotts Wizarding Bank as a Curse-Breaker, and moved to Egypt. While they at first try a long distance relationship because Scarlett got an apartment with Guinevere and Arianna in London, it doesn't end up working out because the distance is torture for them. Long story short (which will be a long story in the Google Doc), she moves to Egypt to be with Bill.

━ After graduation, Guinevere began brewing potions and selling them, although she doesn't open up her Apothecary right away. It'll take her a little bit of time to get the money she needs. Meanwhile, Arianna is undergoing rigorous training to become an Auror.

━ Obviously, Scarlett fulfilled her dream after graduation and became a Magizoologist. Not right away, of course. She'll end up an intern/student for at least 3-ish years(?), during which she studies under someone (let's call them a mentor) and then only after she's learned everything, she'll offically become a registered Magizoologist.

━ As an intern, Scarlett will travel the world (with her mentor) in search of magicial creatures of which she documents, studies and cares for, as her mentor instructs. They save a lot of them and Scarlett is always bringing some new species home for Bill to meet. (Which reminds me, she does have a briefcase similar to her grandfather's, which she enchanted herself.)

━ Anyway, that's pretty much how book one goes. Obviously, more details will be provided in the Google Doc.

━ The second and last book picks up during the Golden Trio era, specifically during Prisoner of Azkaban. At this point, Scarlett and Bill are still living together in Egypt (yes the Weasley's visited them during their vacation there), only now she's officially a Magizoologist (and has been for years) and they've gotten their own cute little house because she just can't stop bringing magicial creatures home. Their apartment got too crowded for Bill's liking lol.

━ Unfortunately, I'm going to stop there. Don't want to give too much away to those potential readers when it comes to book two. The rest of the details will be sent privately in the Google Doc.

━ Lastly, feel free to mess around with the summary, I'm not very fond of it.
