Prologue.

"Pack your bags, Miles!" A woman with flaming red hair yelled, "We are already running late!"

"Coming, mom!"

Miles came out of his room with a bag in his hand. As he looked at the bright shining sun through the window. It had been 11 years since he had been reborn into this world. Though he never believed in things like time travel or rebirth, he was forced to when he suddenly woke up in the body of a small wolf cub.

*Flashback*

He remembered, how confused and scared he was as he looked around the foggy dark forest he was in. He wondered to himself where he had ended up since the only last thing he could remember was getting in an accident. And now he had woken up in a body of a wolf cub that obviously didn't belong to him.

Luckily at the time, a group of few people happened to pass by as he heard noises of then talking to each other. Noticing them he yelled for help but the only thing that came out was a couple of yelps. But just as he was about to give up after trying a couple of tries a woman from the group found her way towards him.

The woman, though she looked haughty still gave a kind smile as she looked at the lone cub in the middle of the forest. She picked him up while Miles allowed it as he was lost looking at the bright red hair of the woman. The woman looked around searching for any clues as to where the cub's parents might be until her eye caught a strange stone tablet that laid next to where the cub was. The tablet piqued her interest as she picked it up, only for the tablet to shine bright as she did.

The light died down slowly as the woman opened her eyes still in a daze due to the light but what shocked her after she regained her senses wasn't the tablet but the cub in her arms that had now turned into a baby.

The baby looked a year old, had snow white hair similar to the cub before and was sleeping soundly in her arms. Still shocked by what just happened she looked at the tablet in her hands and back at the baby again and again until another woman from her group showed up.

"What was that light, Patricia?" The woman asked confused when suddenly her eyes fell on the baby on her arms, "Who in Merlin's name would leave a baby here in this sick place?"

Patricia snapped out of her daze with the woman calling her name, "I don't know, Natasha." She answered not talking about what had just happened.

"Well, we can't just leave the child here now, can we?" The woman named Natasha said as she looked around, "Let's take him out of the forest at least, the aurors from the ministry will surely handle it."

Patricia nodded as she began walking out of the forest rejoining her group. Though she didn't say anything to anyone for the remainder of the trip, she had already made her mind up about the baby.

7 years later, everyone knew that the famous curse-breaker Patricia Rakepick had adopted a son. Though everyone around them agreed that the mother and son duo shared the same characteristic, it was not hard to see the difference between them. Patricia who had red hair and blue eyes was completely different from her son Miles Rakepick, who had snow-white hair and the most mesmerizing golden eyes anyone had ever seen.

Miles, throughout the years, had to go from one shock to another not living him time to recover. The whole reborn thing was already a difficult thing to accept but it turns out that not only was he reborn in a world full of magic, but he was also in the famous world of Harry Potter. And as if all that wasn't enough the fact that he was a walking wolf was even more shocking as well.

Patricia the woman who adopted him was one of the sweetest people he had ever known. Though she was strict and mean, Miles knew that she loved him like her own blood. Patricia had told him before that he might be a natural born animagus, as he could turn to a wolf and back to human any time he wanted but it was hard for Miles to believe so since he had never heard of anything like it before not even in the books he had read after he came here and the only clue of his origin was a stone tablet that was next to him when she first found him.

Even for Patricia who was a known curse-breaker, the inscriptions on the tablets were hard to decipher but she had at least figured out that the inscription was ancient wizarding runes meaning his parents who left him there that day in the forest were surely wizards.

"So you're leaving huh?" The door of their house opened and in came a beautiful woman, so beautiful that she could probably make any men fall for her in an instant, "You didn't think you should tell me beforehand."

"Knock before you enter, Natasha." Patricia said looking annoyed, "And yes we're leaving today. I have finished my business here with Hogwarts and we're moving out to America."

"How could you be so cold!" Natasha complained about with overdramatic expressions, "If little Miles here didn't say anything to Blaise, I wouldn't even have known about it."

"Hello, aunt Natasha," Miles said awkwardly trying to look away from Patricia who was glaring at him, "I was just saying my goodbyes, you know."

"See even little Miles knows some manners unlike you," Natasha said snorting.

"Fine! I apologize." Patricia gave up not being able to take in more drama for today, "I have finally retired from Gringotts and I want to do some exploration on my own. Also, Miles awoke his magic a week ago so he could also learn something about the world traveling with me."

"I'll let you go for now but do send letters now and then." Natasha said as she looked at the time, she then turned towards Miles as she rushed to give him a tight hug, messing his already messy white hair, "Congratulations to you Miles for awakening. I would love to throw a celebration party for you but since your mother already has her plans I can't."

Patricia snorted as Natasha continued.

"Since we're running low on time I couldn't do much but take this as a gift from me." Natasha said handing out a beautiful dagger to Miles, "Be safe and do remember to miss me and Blaise from time and time again."

Natasha stood up leaving the dazed Miles, as she pulled Patricia into a hug as well but Patricia quickly retorted as she pushed the other party away. Natasha giggled as she headed towards the door, "I'll be leaving for now and I hope to see both of you soon."

Miles looked back at Natasha as she left, wondering how the famous Black-Widow who supposedly killed 7 of her husbands can be so cute. Throughout the years, her son Blaise Zabini was the only friend he had of his age so he was close to the little fellow as well. He looked at the beautifully designed shiny dagger in his hands wondering if she always carried one with her.

Four years quickly passed, as Miles traveled around the states with his mother adventuring in different places. Throughout the years, he had managed to create a small reputation for himself worldwide as he had discovered several different treasures with his mother. Though not as famous as his mother he was at least famous among the young wizards and witches who dreamt about traveling the world and finding treasures. Especially more so with the witches, who loved the cute looking young wizard with those beautiful eyes.

All of it was going well and he even was getting accepted into the American Wizarding school, Ilvvermorny until he struck another clue about the stone tablet. All these years both Patricia and Miles hadn't stopped trying to solve the tablet's mystery and the result of their hard work were three words they had managed to decipher.

Ouroboros

Aurum

Grail

The word 'Ouroboros' referred to an ancient symbol of a snake or serpent eating its own tail, variously signifying infinity and the cycle of birth and death. The word 'Aurum' is referred to gold in Latin and the word 'Grail' meant a cup used by the Christ at the Last Supper. The clues were mismatched in every possible way and Miles though he tried couldn't find a connection between them. As there were still many words yet to be deciphered, he didn't know how long it will take to finally reveal the mystery of the tablet until last night where he found the fourth word.

Amrita.

A Hindu word that directly translates to Immortality and represents nectar that grants immortality.

The word immediately rang something in Miles' head as he finally recalled a particular thing, closely related to Harry Potter. The Philosopher's Stone.

The Stone was basically the only connection between the words he and Patricia had deciphered. It granted both immortality and turned any metal to gold. Though it was just a theory it was a solid one as everything they had gathered finally made sense.

Since it had taken 11 years for both of them to come up with four words, Miles wasn't willing to wait a century before he could finally understand the whole inscription, as he had already begun formulating his plans to head Hogwarts as he remembered according to the plot, the stone was supposed to be there. Miles didn't know if it was fate or something else but even when he was miles away from Britain in general, he still seemed to not be able to run away from Hogwarts.

Miles knew that any normal people would have already let go of it and live their second chance in life properly but he wasn't normal. He was a boy who could transform into a Wolf and was born into the Harry Potter World.

But before heading to Hogwarts he needed a very important thing, his wand.
