Jamie Bennett and the Wizarding World

by GG-GrindingGears

DISCONTINUED! And though it would take more convincing from Mr. Macmillan, and begging from Jamie, by the end of the day Mrs. Bennett agrees to send her only son, her darling baby boy, off to boarding school, to study magic. But after everything Mr. Macmillan showed her that day, Jamie was sure that the man could have told his mother that the sky was red and she would have believed

1. Prologue

Jamie Bennett believed in a lot of things. He believed in Santa Clause and the Tooth Fairy, he even had a yeti's autograph, and, most importantly of all, he believed in Jack Frost (who was way cooler than the Easter Bunny no matter what his little sister Sophie said). Jamie believed in a lot of things, but even he was having troubling believing this. Maybe it was because when the first letter appeared on his eleventh birthday, not even Jack, who had been all over the world, had heard of the place. Maybe it was because it was delivered by an owl, which seemed strange enough by itself. Or maybe it was because, they had only been living in England for a couple months, and he was still having trouble understanding some of the things his classmates said, that he thought it was all just a joke.

But when the second letter appeared, this time through the mail slot with the rest of the post, Jamie had more trouble writing the whole thing off, especially when the address included the location of his bedroom. When the third, forth, and fifth letters arrived, all together on a Sunday, he decided to show his mom. But it wasn't until the pudgy little man in the strange purple robe appeared on their doorstep, clutching yet another one of those thick parchment envelopes in his hand, that Jamie Bennett was fully willing to believe, that he, was a wizard.

His mother however took more convincing.

This is more of a teaser than an actual prologue, but oh well. The rest of the chapters will be far longer (the next one's already reaching 10 pages).

With all of the ROTG/HP crossovers that I've been seeing everywhere on the internet for the past few months I couldn't understand why someone hadn't sent little Jamie off to Hogwarts yet. Then I did the logistics and now I completely understand. But nevertheless, here I go, starting us on a brand new journey.

But on that note, I can't do this alone. I have the basic time frame down and some vague ideas of what I want to happen, but no real antagonists or true story plot. So, if there was ever something you wanted to see Jamie do, if only he had magic, or just a general understanding of what's considered cannon after Harry's 7th year, head on over to my tumblr (link found in profile) and let me know.

Oh, I should also mention that this will be taking place in the year 2013, a year after the events in ROTG, and (according to The Harry Potter Lexicon) a whole 15 years after the Dark Lord's defeat. I should also say that this fic, for the most part, will not feature Harry Potter or any of the Golden Trio, family, or associates. If you want to see who will have roles in this story, I'll be posting a Master Characters List and other timeline information on my tumblr, probably sometime later tonight. So head on over!

Also support will keep me writing, so any compliments are welcome. :) ~CC
