00:00I'm Rowan Ashford, top of the Magical Research Department, Headmaster Thorn's adopted daughter.
00:06In my past life, everyone thought the strongest Petraindrian would answer me.
00:11I believed it too.
00:13Rowan, first in every exam, the year's finest.
00:17The strongest patroness should answer her call first.
00:26What's a freshman doing here?
00:29Isn't that Rowan's tut-in?
00:31She's the half-blood from the Muggle world, right?
00:40Wait, the bird wants the rookie?
00:43Serafina, you've barely touched a wand!
00:45Your magic's unstable, and even if Icebird likes you now, you'll never control him!
00:52Tutor, I know I'm not your match,
00:54but I've never seen anything like this in the Muggle world.
00:59I just...
01:04They were already a pair.
01:06I was just the villain in their way.
01:10It's my turn.
01:11Rowan, don't be stupid!
01:13That bird is a legend!
01:15You're the best we've got!
01:16That snake is trash!
01:17It's not worthy of you!
01:23I choose this serpent.
01:30She's actually walking away from the Icebird.
01:33All those years being the top, just for this?
01:37Trading a legend for a dying snake?
01:39She's lost her bloody mind.
01:49Rowan!
01:51Rowan!
01:51From that moment on, I swore I would become the strongest mage.
01:56Have the most powerful guardian.
01:58Because only then, I would never lose anyone again.
02:02But who's to say...
02:03Professor!
02:04May I try one more time?
02:08Faster, more precise.
02:11The Icebird clan.
02:12They are the strongest guardians.
02:15They will protect you from all harm.
02:17If I had the strongest guardian, no one would ever be able to hurt me again.
02:23Will it choose me?
02:27So, it was never me.
02:29If I just try a little harder, he'll take human form.
02:33We'll understand each other.
02:34He'll look at me.
02:35Just once.
02:37Ten years.
02:38I never even got a single thank you.
02:45So, he could be gentle.
02:48Just, never to me.
02:50The serpent is my choice.
02:52I bind my soul to it.
02:54This is throwing her future away just to prove a point.
02:57She'll regret this for the rest of her life.
02:59I gave my life for him.
03:01Spoiled him.
03:03Thought he'd turn back.
03:04But all I got was betrayal.
03:06Shame.
03:07And a death without mercy.
03:13Look, I know Vos is your tutee, but you're being too soft.
03:16She's basically moved in with your Icebird.
03:18What are you talking about?
03:20Serafina and the Icebird?
03:21She's with him every time you left the school.
03:23She told everyone you asked her to watch over him.
03:25I never asked her to do that.
03:28Doesn't she have her own predantus?
03:31Why is she messing with mine, Rowan?
03:33You mean that black serpent?
03:35It died back in second year.
03:37What?
03:39Ten years.
03:40I spent ten years raising him.
03:43Spoiling him.
03:44Even though he never wanted the bond, I never regretted it.
03:52I was a joke.
03:54Ten years.
03:55Nothing.
03:56But raising a man for someone else.
04:01Since both parties have consented, continue the ritual.
04:04Form the circle.
04:07Form the circle.
04:17Form the circle.
04:17Form the circle.
04:19Form the circle.
04:21Form the circle.
04:22Form the circle.
04:23Tutor.
04:24I guess you and that snake really were meant for each other.
04:28Cut the act, Vos.
04:30If Rowan hadn't handed him over, you wouldn't get near him.
04:33Stop playing the victim.
04:35Here we go again.
04:36The water works.
04:44He's taking human form?
04:45High-level petroniums don't even need a wizard to shift.
04:48Merlin.
04:49She's actually pulling this off in one go.
05:05A get zero.
05:10One left.
05:12This should heal you.
05:21I knew it.
05:23I knew you could.
05:24Are you alright?
05:25You gave me a heart attack.
05:28You gave me a heart attack.
05:30The night.
05:31You got me.
05:41I...
05:52This is Wyso...
05:54This is SANK.
05:5910 years and I never knew you hated me this much. Every touch, every word. It was all just to
06:05humiliate me and I was so obsessed with him. Even the professors who cared suffered because of me.
06:11Merlin, if I had a do-over, I would never choose him.
06:25I'm back. The day of the binding.
