1 1/ Baby !?

One minute before I was a young adult but a car bumped into me and when I opened my eyes I saw the delicate figure of a tall and sturdy man with blond hair and blue eyes.

"You are finally here my little boy, I'm sure you will be an amazing wizard when you'll grow up! your name will be Alexander, Alexander Langold what a good name !" he said with a proud look.

"Wizard !?? what's going on here ? Why am I in a baby body ?" I wanted to scream but realized that a baby can't speak so I ended up crying.

Then I calmed down and started to look around me and search for clues about the "wizard thing" I heard from my new father. I saw a calendar with "April 1980" written.

"Very good I know already the year but why I am in the past, I time-traveled or what ?" I wondered.

I passed the next five minutes searching around and thanks to the moving picture everywhere in the bedroom I understood I was in the world of Harry Potter then I lost myself in thoughts about magic.

"This is very great for a new life even if I was a man of science I always dreamed about having powers !" I thought, very excited about the future when I could study magic and performs tons of spells like it's nothing.

"AMELIA WAKE UP FOR GOD'S SAKE !! YOU HAVE TO WAKE UP YOU CAN'T DIE NOW !!!!"

Suddenly I heard a shout which, I believe, came from my father who started to cry near the arms of the women who give birth to me.

When i turned my head to my mother I saw a corpse without life, a pale face with glassy eyes and next to her my father, holding her hand so hard than the blood didn't circulate in his hand anymore.

I realized the situation very quickly and the memory of my past life came back to me when my first mother died at a young age too, this memory was still vivid in my mind and I remembered exactly the pain 2 years ago, the pain,sadness and despair I was feeling was at the same intensity.

I supposed a mother was still a mother no matter if i knew her or not.

The next day, we buried my mother, Amelia Langold, 33 years old, in the garden of the huge manor owned by my family composed of only me and my father now.

" Angelica ! Take care of this child from now on you can raise him however you like I don't care anymore, it's his fault if my wife is gone ! " Father said to the maid who held me already since the start of the ceremony.

Me and Angelica were dumbstruck at these words and she didn't have the time to reply to him.

She turned her head to me and said " Don't worry my dear, I'm sure your father was just upset, he didn't mean it and i will take care of you as if you are my own child"

"I've seen his face filled with anger disgust and sadness when he looked at me and I'm sure he mean it" I thought while she brought me back to the manor of the Langton.

After these two days I spent my entire time in the manor with nothing to do except to listen to the many servants and learned a few things about my family and my situation.

First, but it's just a confirmation, I am from a pure-blood family but not the kind of family who discriminate by blood to my great pleasure, I don't want to be viewed as a racist at first sight !

Second, my family manages a magical zoo in England, famous everywhere in the wizard's world and it's our main source of income.

Last, I heard by chance that my father is a very powerful wizard whom others are scared to go against and always agree to all he says, whoever heard the name of Terry Langold and still sane in mind would back off, he is not as powerful as Dumbledore but who can be compared to him.

Unfortunately I didn't hear anything about my mother, I am sure it's an order from my father but I can't do anything for now.

2 years passed, I was now able to speak properly and walk by myself in the entire manor but still forbidden to go outside because Angelica decided that it was too dangerous for me.

Angelica, 25 years old and a very beautiful lady, was like a second mother to me these two years because I didn't feel anything from her than the purest love a mother can give.

She has a bright personality and made me laugh a lot but she can be bossy when she has to be but she is still single and that amaze me. With his typical maid uniform and her her long straight red hair tied in a ponytail and his tall size she had nothing to lose to models.

"Angel, why are you single, it's because of me ?" I asked during lunch.

" Of course not, dear, why would I even want a husband when i have you, you're the most precious person for me in my life, don't worry about that even if I will marry someone in the future I will wait for you to grow up enough to be independent " she said while hugging me in her arms

" That's exactly what I thought, it's because of me but that's a very good feeling to be precious to someone " I mumble to myself with a wry smile

3 years went quickly and during this time I was still forbidden to go outside alone because the garden is too huge for a little being who can't use magic so I have to wait the age of 7.

Bored to death I did the only thing I could in this manor, I read books, lots of books, tons of books

and the major part of these books are about magical beasts or school books which will help me study magic when I'll be older, so I think I'm unbeatable about magical creatures now.

The most extraordinary beast in all of these books was without doubt the Hydra of Lerna, in my past life I always thought it was just a Greek myth but hydras are real even though nobody have seen one since 400 years so the book where I found about this creature was not very detailed.

After reading this book and the hydra part I decided to go outside when Angelica was not around, after 30 minute of patience and concentration I sneak in successfully to the garden.

the sun was shining and it was warm outside, I ran through the hurdles which seem set like a maze and I stopped trying to catch my breath i saw three little creatures around a bush and for just one second i saw a ray of light reflected by something inside the bush so I decided to go for it and ran to the three little things who were scared and gave up instantly.

When I caught the object in the bush I realized it was an egg but it was colored with a mix of golden and dark and the result was very beautiful. Then, I realized if I didn't want to be caught by Angelica I had to run back to the manor now.

" I think it's an egg of a very powerful beast but I don't recognize this type of egg no matter how hard I try to figure it out !" I said after returning luckily to my bedroom and made a few research on beast eggs.

Suddenly I thought about something : " It's a dream , it can't be true ! After all, what are the possibilities to find an egg of a creature never seen since four century !? "
