It dawned on me how..  ironic the name of the gate is. Especially after the revelation yesterday. Merlin’s Gate. The gate that leads out towards Hogsmeade. The fact that Merlin had a gate named after him and not Morgana was not lost on me. Noticing several students walking through the gate towards Hogsmeade made me step aside to wait for Daphne. I stared at the gate, hoping it would give some sort of answer for the many questions I had. It was a fruitless endeavor, but I had to try. They were known sworn enemies. To be truthful, I would not be surprised if lightning struck me as I stood so close to the gate. Sure, it was just a gate, but this is the magical world. For all I knew, his gate was enchanted to keep me out. It was ridiculous to think about as I have walked through this gate numerous times.
