Set after the Battle of Hogwarts.

Ignis Autumn had a started feeling that he was probably a bit different from other children, when at five, he had a nasty incident ending up with him causing the balloon to explode in his teacher's face, just by saying 'Blow Up'. It was this that made him experiment to see what he could do, but nothing else happened, which made him believe he just said it at the right time.
Later on, in Year 6, he had another incident which wasn't entirely normal. Some idiot had just come up to him and started a fight against him, when Edward shouted 'You should eat slugs you're so vile!' at him, and not a moment later, the boy threw up two fat slugs.
Ignis didn't look any different than any other children, which made him wonder how he could do those things. His hair was a scruffy, dark brown, whilst his eyes were a dark hazel in colour. He was also quite average in height and size as well, which left him to ponder on what he was, until the end of the summer holidays.
"Iggy! You've got some post!" his mum, Elisa, shouted up from the bottom of the stairs. Her hair was quite frizzy and a greyish-brown, whilst her pale blue eyes were square-ish and squint. Her figure was quite apple-shaped as well.
"Mum! I hate that name!" Ignis shouted as he walked down the stairs in his pyjama bottoms and dressing gown.
"I know but it's still nice to use," she replied, handing Ig the letter and going to finish cooking some breakfast. Ed stared at, wondering who on earth it was from as he had no friends that used letters, and his family were more likely to visit than to send a letter. It was even correctly addressed:
Mr Ignis "Iggy" Autumn,
The Oddly Shaped Room,
52 Apple Hill Road,
Hants.,
England
There was no postcode on it, which was weird as letters usually had postcodes on them. He looked at the back of the envelope and saw a blood red wax seal with a little crest on it, but the detail was too fine to tell what it looked like.
Ig walked into the kitchen and sat down at the small table in there. He broke the seal, lifted up the fold, and took out the letter inside. He held it up in front of him before reading it to himself:
'HOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY
Headmistress: Bona Fortuna Alamiss
Dear Mr Autumn,
We are pleased to inform you that you have a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. Term begins on 1st September. We await your owl no later than 31st July.
Yours sincerely,
Argusto Ferranis
Deputy Headmaster.'
"Mum! Is this a joke?!" Ignis asked uncertainly.
"Is what a joke?" questioned his mother.
"This," he replied, as he gave her the letter and she read it through. It must have shocked as she read it multiple times before she grinned and started screaming like a mad person.
"Hooray! We need to send an owl back like it said in the letter! We must get your equipment! How do we get to Diagon Alley?" asked his mother as she now read through the equipment page. "Blimey that's a lot! Oh! We need to find a pub called the Leaky Cauldron. But what about sending an owl back?" she said very quickly, and she was answered with a squawk as a large barn owl flew in threw the window.
"Well that helps a bit," Ig said. Elisa picked up a pen, grabbed a small piece of paper on it and wrote 'We'll be coming to Hogwarts! Don't worry. Elisa Autumn, mother of Iggy' before trying to give it to the bird. The bird accepted it and flew off.
"You know what we do now," Elisa stated.
"What?" Ignis asked.
"We get your stuff," she replied, putting the paper on the table whilst holding the envelope. "This is an unlikely sequence of events, that's all I have to say," she added, before the top corner of the envelope lighted and she dropped it on the floor from shock.
