"Dear George Washington,

Upon the rebuilding and adding the finishing touches to Hogwarts: School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, after the Second Wizarding War. This year the school will be starting up classes once more, the students will be returning to finish their schooling. After two years, we have yet to find an adequate replacement for the deceased headmaster. In a final message from the deceased headmaster Albus Dumbledore, he wrote highly of you. Going into your background, we have concluded that you have an outstanding record and glowing achievements that would be valued at this school.

We also take into an account your adopted son Alexander, we offer him an acceptance letter into our school if you were to choose to come here and teach. We also will pay for his needed books and your travel costs.

We hope to hear from you soon."

Sincerely-

Ministry of Magic

Washington read over this letter slowly, his eyes going from the ink on the paper to his adopted child, who was writing in the corner. Washington knew about the Second Wizarding War, luckily it didn't affect the American Wizarding Organization. Few efforts were put in for their recovery after the fact, what would have normally taken at least a decade for a large group of muggles only took two years for a smaller group of wizards.

Washington himself is high up in the American Wizarding Organization, starting off as a student at Ilvermorny, he was always a proud Wampus even to this day. He became a teacher there for a while, perhaps a decade or so before entering the higher ups. He was respected highly for his leadership roles and strength in magical as well as physical abilities. Something that was also recognized by their, across the water brothers.

Albus Dumbledore met Washington on several occasions, from meeting him as a student to just casual visits as friends once George had moved up. George was sad and shocked to learn of his friend's murder. But as shocked as he was, it was only to an extent. Albus did seem a little odd in their last visit, acting more cheerful yet distant than normal. The fact that Albus thought of him highly enough that they would make him headmaster, even if it was only temporary, it was an honor and if it had been four years ago, he would've jumped at the chance. Now however, he has his son Alexander.

Alexander is his adopted son from Nevis. The boy had jumped ship into America and caused some chaos when his own magic lashed out by accident. He was seven at the time and didn't understand what happened. The organization really wasn't sure what to do with him, normally if a magical child was suddenly parentless they would send the child to the next of kin. They looked into it, Alexander had no one. Sending him into the muggle world until he's old enough to learn would've been cruel and potentially dangerous. Washington was there while the council was debating and he had deep interest in a small boy. In an odd bit of curiosity and not thinking anything through, he put up his hand and offered his household to the young child. Of course, Alexander said "fuck off." But the council approved and thus Alex became his adopted child.

It took a few years for Alex to warm up Washington, he only just got Alex comfortable with George calling him son. George was also warming up to Alex, while he thought it would be a breeze to handle an older child it turned out that Alex, was a massive pain in the side. Alex would refuse to eat, sleep, would randomly do magic with George's wand or with random spells he would randomly find. Alex also would talk fluently in French just to annoy George, he soon picked up on key words and now he could tell exactly what Alex was calling him.

Alex is now eleven, in only a few months he had been expecting Alex's letter to Ilvermorny, which he was excited about. He could tell the young boy would be a promising wizard, either school would be beneficial to him. Alex himself was also looking forward to going and was hoping that the Horned Serpent would want him in their house. Alex had learned about Hogwarts of course and met Albus a few times. But he wasn't interested in joining the school in the slightest as far as George knew anyway. He couldn't just drag Alex, not only to a new school but a new continent.

"George, you're staring again." Alex's small voice arose from across the table, he had stopped writing in his notebook to see his step father's blank stare towards him. He tended to do that when he was in deep thought and seeing how he was facing Alex, Alex assumed the thought was about him. "You're not planning on sending me back, are you?" Alex asked with a slight joking grin.

Between them, that question started as a threat from George and an angered request from Alex. Now they see it as a joke between them, sometimes Alex would ask it when he would drop a book or break something on accident, or George would lightheartedly threaten it when Alex caused a minor accident.

"Yes, in fact I have a new foster parent picked out. This one buries their children underground to harvest their magic into carrots." George said with a straight face, their eyes meeting and narrowing threateningly.

"Vein old geezer" Alex growled through gritted teeth.

"Rude young brat" George stated coldly, his fist clenched on the table. Both not breaking eye contact until Alex broke first, his snarl twitching up into an unwilled smile. Upon seeing the elven year old trying to hard to keep a smile from his face, George broke as well but a smile and a hearty laugh came from him. Soon the two were giggling from opposite ends of the table.

"So, what were you thinking about? It seemed to be bothering you." Alex asked after taking a moment to compose himself. George looked at Alex and sighed which made Alex all the more curious.

"What would you think about going to Hogwarts with me in England?" George asked, looking for the first reaction from Alexander. To say the least, Alex looked lost, confused, but a little relieved.

"You mean you and I both? Not just me? Right?" Alex asked, just to be reassured which was very endearing to his adopted father. George nodded with a fond smile which caused Alexander to relax a little. "Why would you want to go to Hogwarts?" he asked, eyeing the letter, knowing that it was the main answer. George slid it over to Alex who read it quickly, his eyes scanning it over a few times to make sure he didn't miss any details. When Alex looked back up from the letter, he didn't hesitate to nod with a semi-confident "I guess we're going to London, right?"

George wasn't expecting it but smiled back more confidently and nodded "we leave tomorrow, we'll take the week to adjust to London and then you start school."

They walked over to each other, meeting in the middle and shook hands on it.

Chapter notes: This takes place after the events of Harry Potter, I'm not including Cursed Child as part of this. Alex does have more practice in magic because Nevis doesn't really have a controlled place for it's wizards and witches. Most don't have money or the means to get to any wizarding school and a lot of them are typically born mud bloods. Alex is a mud blood and doesn't have a good grip of his powers. Unlike Harry who had a family who knew what he was but didn't tell him yet managed to keep his powers hidden from him as well. Alex found out of his own accord but instead of hiding it or asking about it, he did what he did best, stole books from any relevant source he could and wrote down results. Thus, he half knew the damage he was doing when he got to New York. But of course, he never let the council know that. Anyway, let me know what you think. I'll get on the next chapter.

Side note if you want more on Ilvermorny go to Potter more.

I do not own Harry Potter, Hamilton, nor have I met the real founding fathers. I'm just a simple fan. Have a nice day.
