Elea Mercier
Elea is a Beauxbatons exchange student who hinders several of the main characters, and is one of the many people who begin to trust Noah Black.

Pre-Story
Elea began her schooling at Beauxbatons in 1984. She is known to live in France with her mother, father and 11 year old sister, who also attends Beauxbatons. She signed up for the exchange student programme in order to increase her chances of getting a job in Britain, though she is shown to not be too confident in English.

Chapter 1
Elea plays a prominent part in the third part of the first chapter. The chapter starts with her and Noah Black sitting together in a white limousine, on the way to Hogwarts, they are both sitting in awkward silence.

Elea breaks the silence by asking if Noah likes England, to which he replies yes, and asks Elea’s name. Elea responds, then slips into French. After learning Noah’s name, she asks where he comes from. He is silent for what is described as a while, before responding cryptically.

Chapter 5
Elea is still close friends with Noah Black, she is even telling him tidbits of gossip she picked up. Even if it was just about student couples. Though she later tells Noah about how Stephanie is going around telling everyone that her mother is still alive and kicking.
