A fated letter came from the mail today.
an owl, beautiful with shining feathers that glistened like the brightest of diamonds dropped off a... letter.

-------------------------------------------
a scoff filled Mylo's mouth.
about time.
he had waited for so long for this chance, to finally go to Hogwarts!
but there was some.... preparation to do beforehand.
he had learned a lot in the last 11 years.
and one is to never be unprepared.
there was a chance something could go wrong, or he could be in danger.
In that case, his weak body wouldn't be able to do much.
these past years were used to study ways to cure himself and to protect himself under the guidance of his grandfather.
his body was overflowing with magical power, and chanting spells could mean opening a valve to the river inside of his body. if he doesn't control that, the valve may not be closed, and he would die.
luckily for him, his grandfather had several connections not just in Magizoology but also ancient runes.
ancient runes weren't spells, they were inscriptions left by wizards thousands and thousands of years ago.
when placed on certain objects, effects can happen.
but ancient runes are dangerous, such as the fact most are unstable, and they required a certain amount of mana put in them every few hours. if not, well, you don't want to find out.
another good way to train mana was.... nagi.
it seemed she could absorb mana within her body and slowly digest it as nutrients. it seemed although she didn't inherit the poison of a xiangliu, the magic part still applied to her.
training magic wasn't for his animals nor the sake of his power, it was his own. along as he could capitalize the mana inside of him only then can he hope of dreaming of becoming free from this curse.
he wasn't a child anymore, he wasn't blinded with innocence.
if he wanted his father's recognition, he will fight for it.
a dark and twisted mind cultivated by the thought of death and letting his brother get an easy win above him.
his brother...
the poster boy of this year's generation. of course, he wasn't as big as that potter boy but his fame wasn't low. he had supporters in the ministry under the constant connections of his father.
his magical prowess was genius. he inherited it from his mother, just like Mylo.
under the constant background checks of his mother and grandfathers information, she was a mysterious person.
her background wasn't shared, and she would wander off for days on end.
each time it ended her being in st. Mungo's for a mental check.
but the erosion of her body meant she couldn't be a normal human.
and then their father got her pregnant.
what a stupid decision.
and now he blames him for her death?
what a hypocrite.
it was his fault, one that he escapes but sending the buildout on me and pretending I wasn't there, and Rolf was the golden boy, the true successor of the pure-blooded house of Scamander.
that was a dream of his, a foolish one.
but something.. caught his attention.
she knew a language.
no ordinary language.
grandfather had a tight lip, and it seemed father didn't know about it either.
what was it?
he could feel it, it surrounded the same magic circle he sees in his dreams.
he couldn't grasp it, but one day he will.
"Nagi stop it!" Mylo screamed at the snake, who was making trouble with his suitcase.
Nagi was now around 0.5 metres long (1"6) and couldn't be called a baby snake anymore.
her head shined with moonlight now and then, hinting that she had "Healing" as her first's heads ability.
Milo couldn't be careless with her in Hogwarts. she needed to be on her best behaviour, that's why she went under rigorous training to make sure she would be commanded.
Hogwarts was coming.
