Prologue

On a night full of stars on May 20, 2041, a little girl with a mixture of European and Asian features appeared to be baking something in her home in New York City. Today she wants to bake brownies with chunks of chocolate which she mixes into the brownie mixture.

"Tonight's dessert is brownies with vanilla ice cream on top," she muttered.

Her slightly wavy light brown hair that she inherited from her father locked in place into a bun hairstyle as her forehead began to oozing out sweat. After wiping the sweat from her forehead, she prepared to pour the brownie mixture into the baking sheet before putting it in the oven. A few moments later she finished pouring all the brownie mixture into the baking sheet and put it into the oven. She could see the baked brownies starting to rise slowly through the oven glass.

*DING… DONG! DING… DONG!*

But her concentration on her brownies shatters when her house's doorbell ringing. Cleaning herself for a bit she rushes to open the door only to reveal only her favorite uncle. You may say her Uncle is a little special, he is what we call a witch in the story you tell at your kids or read on storybooks, though that's the wrong word to describe him as the correct word would be a 'wizard' in the wizarding world for a male.

"Uncle Josh, you came. Mama and Papa are in the backyard doing barbecue as dinner. Come in!" She excitedly pulling her Uncle Joshua inside.

"Wow, little Amy you're already so big that I can't carry you again on my back." Joshua Hill or simply Josh is the younger brother to Alexander Hill, Amara's father who is a No-Maj.

"Oh please, I'm already almost eleven on the 13th of June. Of course, you can't carry me again like in the past." Her purple eyes that are unusual for normal human eye color twinkle as she added, "Or maybe you are just so old that you need to settle down so I will have one or two little cousins to play with me."

"You little rascal, I'm not that old. I only want to find someone special before settle down"

"You already said that for as long as I can remember!"

Before they could continue their little argument, a call from Seri Hill-neè 'Yoo' interrupts them. "Josh, Amy come here and eats, the barbecue is ready. Also, Amy takes out your brownies from the oven before you come over."

"I know you come here because of Amara's situation." Alexander opening the conversation between him, his wife, and Joshua.

"Yeah… I know because of your job you have to move out to Britain and you won't agree if Amara gets in Ilvermorny as that was too far from your house to be in London. I'm already in contact with MACUSA, they agreed and will help her get an invitation to study in Hogwarts on 1st September."

"It is a good offer but we won't be in London before November," Alexander is in a panic because he can't possibly leave his daughter in London alone.

"That is why you have me brother, I will escort her through London as I have already been there before because of my business."

"Is it all right with you Josh, I know you're a busy person," Seri pipe in to show her concern over her brother in law, though it won't defeat her worries over her only daughter.

"Yes, it's fine. I have a capable assistant that will cover for me and while I'm at it, I also want to inspect my store branch in Diagon Alley," he said. "You know Sebastian, right?"

Alexander commented, "Oh that capable guy you always brought to your branch inspection, he is a bit stiff but a reliable person."

*Sigh…*

Seri sighing and cast down her head.

"I thought my child will be a normal No-Maj since I'm a squib and Alex is also a No-Maj. Though I'm happy that my darling Amy is a witch since she was a baby through her eyes, I can't help but be sad over me and Alex that can't go to help her buying her supplies here and deliver her to King's Cross' platform 9¾ of Hogwarts Express because of protection layer against No-Maj."

"You don't have to worry sis, I can help her buy her supplies and go with her to platform 9¾," Joshua assured Seri.

"We count on you for taking care of Amara, Josh." Alexander Hill stared at his younger brother's eyes searching for assurance.

"Leave it to me, brother!" Joshua stared back at his brother with determination.

As they just having their little secret conversation. One girl with a tray in her hands ran straight to them almost give them a shower of bread, luckily it doesn't happen. The girl opens her mouth and the first sentence that she uttered is, "Is it true that I will not attend Ilvermorny like Uncle Josh?"
