Chapter 1: All because of Death Eaters

It was late August, and Ed was busy drinking butterbeer, preparing to enter Diagon Alley to purchase his school supplies. Ed Vanadium is a blond hair muggle-born first in his family to become a wizard who is an American. He was 11 and about to start his first year at Hogwarts, and he had no idea what to expect.

Ed stood up from his seat and said, "Being a wizard should be boss! Let's go mom!"

Now Ed was starting to feel nervous, coming to the bricks in front of Diagon Alley. He and his mom were unsure how to enter, so he enlisted the help of a severe, old looking woman with a tight bun.

"Hi. How do you open this door miss?" Ed asked the woman.

"Are you a muggle-born?" The woman asked.

"Yes, I am, but this door is troublesome. Will you please help me?" Ed said.

"Just tap the brick wall three times." She instructed.

Ed did just that and a wonderful world of magic appeared in front of him. There were magical shops everywhere, and the streets were buzzing with people wearing the oddest assortment of clothes.

"This place is just ridonkulously sweet! Curse my ignorance of the wizarding world! I can't believe I missed out on this for eleven years!" Ed said with a fist pump.

But out of the blue, hooded figures appeared out of nowhere.

"What in the world!" Ed said incredulously.

Dante Scapula was just exiting the Apothecary with his potions set in hand. Dante is a brown haired eleven year old pure blood with an intense work ethic. He just happened to hail from the land of America. He always got excellent grades. As he left the store, he saw some peculiar sights. One was of hooded figures smashing windows and cursing others. The other was a blond haired boy screeching for assistance. Rather than run away, Dante decided to help the blond boy.

Dante grabbed the boy's arm and said, "Oh My Goodness. We should hide in Ollivander's Shop's cupboard. I know a spell that could lock us in and keep us safe from harm."

The blond haired boy didn't argue and decided to follow Dante. They ran like the Dickens and soon arrived at their pre-destened spot.

After Dante slammed the cupboard door behind them the blond boy said awfully loud, "Hurry up and use the fucking spell!"

Dante realized something. "Oh snap, I haven't gotten my wand yet." He said without any concern in his voice.

"Damn it, of course this would happen to me!... Well since we're about to die I might as well introduce myself. I'm Ed Vanadium." Ed said while sticking out his hand.

"Oh, my name is Dante Scapula." He said while shaking his hand.

Ed decided to ask a question, "Do you like Ice Cream?"

"Ice cream is delightful." Dante said with a shrug.

Dante decided to ask something himself, "Your accent sounds American, are you American?"

Ed answered, "Yes, first wizard in my family."

Dante said, "Oh, your muggle-born that's why I've never heard of your family because I'm from a very old wizarding family."

Ed got intrigued asking, "Is there any other American wizarding families that go to Hogwarts?"

"The only other American family that goes to Hogwarts I have any explicit info on are the Eldermans." Dante said.

The two boys talked for roughly another hour, forgetting about the outside horrors, until an old man opened up the cabinet and said, "All is well. You can come out now."

While exiting the cupboard Ed asked the boy, "Do you want to be my friend?"

Dante shrugged and said, "Sure."

Little did the Death Eaters know they just brought together two friends that would rule Hogwarts for seven hilarious years.
