Harry Potter: Getting Into Character

Is time an endless straight line, or a circle with its beginning and end joined? When an outsider takes step after step into the story, who is too deeply immersed in their role, or was that person in the story all along? Estella has never asked much of her ordinary life, but who hasn't hoped for the letter delivered by an owl? Yet as she steps into that familiar and unfamiliar world, a series of complicated questions follow one after another: The girl who came back from the dead, and the thirty years she disappeared for... A Mobius ring, and two identical books of Muggle poetry... A trapped soul, and a body that is becoming harder to control... And what to do about the fact that someone might like her... Estella: On second thought, that last problem doesn't seem so serious after all, huh? About the heroine: A Ravenclaw with a phlegmatic temperament, some avoidant attachment tendencies, and a mild self-destructive streak. An INFP butterfly, not a perfectly healthy, sunny sort. If you don't like characters who are a little complicated, feel free to move along. About the pairing: There are several potential love interests at first, but the endgame is pretty much settled later on. The other one will probably get an alternate-universe storyline. I don't want to spoil the story in the blurb, so if you want to quickly find out who the main pairing is, skip ahead to after Chapter 120 in the table of contents. Tips: Written for love, with average prose. The full story combines light mystery with slice-of-life moments across seven books. The current update progress is Year Seven... There are probably only tens of thousands of words left in the main story. I like to chat during the update period, so if you don't want to see that, you can hide the author's notes. I usually reply to comments when I can. I often get writer's block later in the story, so updates will be sporadic. Sorry for the awkwardness, but I promise I won't abandon it.
