   Summary

   Between the admission registers of Hogwarts and the usual bureaucratic paperwork for Muggle-borns, Minerva comes across the file of Eilidh Mary Fraser: an eleven-year-old girl marked by trauma and abandoned by the magical institutions.
   To the Ministry of Magic, Eilidh is just another bureaucratic file to forget.
   To Minerva, it is quite the opposite.

   Or how Minerva tries to save a young girl's life, only to realize that it was the girl who saved hers.
