Aradia opened the door magically as her arms were filled with grocery bags. She made her way to the kitchen and smiled when she saw her ten year old son Shay sitting at the table finishing his homework. She left the groceries on the counter and made her way to the table.

"Hey you." She said rubbing his head as she leaned in and kissed him on the cheek.

"Hi mom." He said smiling into his paper.

"How was school today?" she said sitting across from him and leaning over the table to see what he was doing.

"Not so good…Lexi told me to send you to her first."

Aradia sighed. "This is getting out of control." she mumbled to herself as she stood up.

"Lexi, I'm here." Aradia called as she rounded the corner into the living room.

"Good." Lexi said as Aradia sat beside her on the couch. Lexi was a kind, forty something woman who was also a witch. She was Shay's baby sitter and the person that the school called if something went wrong. Because of Aradia's job with the U.S. Department of Magic, it was easier to call Lexi who could get in touch with Aradia easier than anyone else. "Shay ran into some more trouble at school today. He was standing up for a girl some other kids were picking on in the cafeteria and they started to go after him, well…by going after you. Saying that you're some sort of freak-"

"I suppose this is the punishment I get for raising him as a muggle. What ended up happening?"

"He ended up running from them so that he wouldn't get hurt…and according to the boys chasing him he was throwing things…when in all actuality…he had accidentally managed to charm the objects to protect him…everything from schoolbooks to trashcans."

Aradia sighed and smiled. "I'll call Principal Wilson tomorrow. I suppose since this has been going on for three days I have to explain everything to Shay now?"

"Aradia, I would have done it the first day. It's time to stop hiding form the past." Lexi said knowing she had struck a nerve. "You need anything before I go home?"

"No thanks Lexi, you've done enough this week. Take tomorrow off. I'll stay home with Shay so I can discuss some things with him before he goes back to school on Monday."

"I think that would be for the better. Do you know what school you'll be sending him to now? I mean Wizarding School that is."

"Well, I'd like for him to go to Hogwarts, but that would mean moving back to London. I never planned on it stupidly enough. I started to lose hope, he wasn't showing any magical signs until Tuesday. Which I am so thankful for, but at the same time..." she sighed leaving the rest to her thoughts.

"If you don't mind me asking Aradia, was his father magic or muggle?"

"Magic. Pure Blood." Aradia said with a hint of regret in her voice.
