Hello all, this is my first Harry Potter fic. While I already watched all of the movies, I haven't read any of the books so please correct me if I have any mistakes in the fic, most of the information is based from Pottermore and harrypotterwiki (except my OC's history).
For the mean time I don't have any planning to bash Albus and some of the Weasleys. But I'm going to picture Albus as a manipulative old man that can't see the results of his manipulation and maybe a little bashing for Ron at the first time they met, but that will be in the next chapter.
Disclaimer: I Do not own Harry Potter, that belongs to JKR. But I own my OCs.
Happy Reading~
Chapter 1 : Dream or Not? Welcome to the Wizarding World
Lyndell Lilianna Walker or simply just Lyndell Walker sighed as she walked from her campus towards her studio. Lyndell was a simple everyday college student with slightly above average grades, although she was rubbish when it comes to social and science.
Now the reason why she was sighing because she just got released from detention caused by her daydreaming about how it will be like if she lives in Harry Potter world. Again.
She knew that it's impossible and her habits of going into la la la world is not good for her but she couldn't really help it. Especially when the lecturer is so bloody boring. Just imagined how cool it would be if she was a witch with all magic and all, minus the Voldy and his death munchers of course. She would like to live a normal witch live thank you.
''Great I start it again.'' Lyndell muttered and she just realized that she wondered off from her track to home, and now she doesn't know where she was. Besides she was somewhere in London that is
'And now I'm lost, bugger.' The thought crossed in her mind, just when she was planning to search some hint where she was a raspy voice got her attention.
"Do you have a wish you want to be granted?" Lyndell turned towards the voice and found an old lady wearing some gypsy outfit sitting behind a glass ball like the one for fortune telling and divination and the likes.
"Excuse me, are you talking to me?" Lyndell asked while pointing her finger to herself after she looked to her right and left. Now that she realized for some reason the people around her are like blur and even the noise around her is muffled.
"Well of course. I have met people like you, one who was not satisfied with how the world is. Some people wished for a live of richness, some wished for their loved ones back, some wished for a world where magic is real… Is that your wish?" the old lady asked again, she must has realized her reaction to the last part.
"Well, it's not that I'm not satisfied. I was just thinking about how nice it will be for magic to be real, plus it's not really the magic in general I was just thinking about some books." Lyndell said, she doesn't really know why she even pay attention to this lady. But then again, when was is it that she ever not when it comes into this type of thing.
"Ah, but you are not satisfied. You wished for magic because you are not satisfied with the world you are living in and that is why you wished for another world to compensate it. Even if it was just some books." The old lady said again, Lyndell could see where she was saying that from. Logical thinking it was true after all, if she was already satisfies with this world as it is then she won't be keep imagining about things. Maybe she wasn't satisfied with that part, where magic doesn't exist.
"Now I asked you again, do you have a wish you want to be granted?" Lyndell was snapped out from her thought at the old lady question.
'Ah well, as long she doesn't take money I guess no harm done.' Lyndell thought as she smoothed her hair.
"Yeah, I have. I wish to live in Harry Potter world." The old lady smiled and for some reason it brought shiver to her back.
"That can be granted, but everything has a price. If you really wished to live in that world then you will have a role to play in it. Do you still wish for it?" Lyndell pondered around the old lady words. Role? What role she will have, the hell why is she even believe what she was saying. 'Let's just finish this soon and go home.' Lyndell thought. Never would've she thought that her answer will turn her world back down.
"Yes." The old lady smile widened then she just said.
"Wish granted." and a flash of light came from the glass ball, a voice echoing in her ears.
"Whether you will prosper it or ruin it. It will be all in your hand now, Lyndell Walker."
Lyndell snapped open her eyes as she heard some voice calling her name, which reminds her of her mom's. She sat up and take a look at the bed room she was in.
'The hell this is my room. But that's not possible, I already moved out like two years already and even the furniture was like back in my primary… No bloody way!' Lyndell jumped out from her bed and ran to her mirror and what she saw shocked her. She's just like back in her primary days! Chubby cheek, round amber eyes, and long red hair. And she's short again! She could feel her eye twitched as she look at her reflection.
"Lyndell! Wake up already, don't make me come up there young lady!" Lyndell could hear the voice again and this time she's one hundred percent sure that it is her mom.
"Coming mom!" She yelled back, she closed her door and head towards the bathroom in her room to wash up. Why the hell she's a child again, is this a dream? Was the old lady serious when she said her wish granted? It does make sense since if she is then she'll probably ten or eleven years old and she will be getting her Hogwarts letter.
Lyndell felt cold ran through her body as she realized one thing.
'Oh shit, am I a muggle born?!'
She was pondering this as she walked to the dining room where her mom was placing breakfast and her dad was reading the newspaper and drinking his coffee. She sat at her seat and began to munch her toast.
'Hell, I don't want to be a muggle born. I mean it's not bad but the prejudice that will happen if I do go to Hogwarts will be ridiculous, especially the Slytherin.' She peered at her parents and her eyes widen as she look at the newspaper name her dad was holding
The Daily Prophet
'Holly cricket! Does this mean my parents knew about magic? Hell, how do I ask that without be looked strange?! Bloody hell, I'll just asked it, if they asked I'll just say about Hogwarts. Yeah that should've enough. I mean what child that is not excited about going to Hogwarts, and if I'm wrong I'll just say that I had a dream.' With that final thought she turn to her mom.
"Mom, are you a witch?" Her mom looked up from the sink and sighed at her like she already asked this for the thousandth time.
"Yes I am Lyn, and so are your father and no, I'm sure you're not a squib. No child from our house either from mine nor your father ever produce a squib. Your letter will come soon if I'm not wrong in my calculation and no it won't get lost, now finish your breakfast. You can wait in front of the door if you want to." Her mom then returned her attention to wash the dishes, she could heard her mom mumbling about not waiting for the time to returned to the manor and leave the job to the elves again.
"House?" Lyndell repeated with incredulous face. Her father peered at her from the paper.
"Yes honey, surely you haven't forgot all the history lessons your mother pounded into your head ever since last summer." Before Lyndell could answer her mother glared at her dad.
"I did not pounded the lessons into her head Lornell. I only made her to read the family grimoire for about three hours each." Lilianna huffed at her husband, she wiped her hands and join the family for breakfast.
"Three hours each?! No wonder she forgot it all. She got your brain after all." Lornell exclaimed, though he only muttered the last part, but apparently her mom still got her sharp hearing in this world because she glared at her dad.
"Excuse me! Just because I am a Gryffindor doesn't mean I have no wit like you ravens!" Before Lornell talk back, Lyndell interrupted them.
"How about you and mom just tell me the family story. Mind as well kill the time so I won't run around like I'm in my sugar high." Lilianna huffed and look at her daughter.
"As you know our family from my side, the ancient and noble house of Edelweiss while not totally pure we can be considered as a pureblood family, even if the pureblood here denied it because of our lines. Our family was originated from Switzerland. We moved to England right after World War I, because the eldest daughter Chrysanthemum Daisy Edelweiss married to the second son of Stinchcombe, Edmund."
"Now our family was known for its courageous, daringness, nobility, and purity. By purity I mean our line only married with only magical beings, and yes honey there are few that was a werewolf. Although unlike British, Switzerland is more open to the magical creatures as long as they can think like humans, and look like them. Now because of our family traits it's been traditionally that we were sorted into either Gryffindor or Hufflepuff."
"The Edelweiss family naming tradition is the names of flower, and we mostly only produced girls than boys which is why our house are based by matriarchy. Our family are also known for their natural abilities with potion and plants which is why most of us become potioneer or healer."
"Now while I told you that Edelweiss is an ancient and noble house the fact is there aren't many left from the original line. While I never do the inheritance test at Gringotts, it turns out that I became lady Edelweiss since I am the nearest and eldest daughter in the Edelweiss line from what the family account manager's letter said." Lilianna drank her tea while Lyndell tried to process the information from her mom.
"So does that mean I'm your heir?" Lilianna smiled at her daughter.
"Yes honey, and until I managed to give a son then you will also become the Walker heir." Lilianna said, Lornell finally opened his mouth.
"Alright, my turn. Now the Walker family unlike your mother's" Lilianna glared sharply at her husband "is the most ancient and noble house which is the highest titling in the house system. The Walker family is originated from Scotland. There are records that told we're from United States but they're not really clear so we couldn't make sure of it."
"The Walker family are known from their ambitious, intelligence, and determination. Sadly our family used to believe the rubbish saying of pureblood that most of the purebloods here are saying. My great-grandfather was the last one before my grandfather Aquila Ophiuchus Walker change our family allegiance from dark to neutral. While we're not fully light we're not dark either so we must be very careful to choose where we want to side in everything. Whether that is political or war."
"Now, as our family traits say. Most of the Walker families were sorted in Slytherin with occasionally Ravenclaw. The Walker family naming tradition are star constellation, the same as Black because we're closely related to them I think it's five or so generations ago the daughter from house of Black married into ours which began the tradition. The origin tradition were names that could be closely related with Greek and Gaelic. Which explains my name."
"The Walker family are based by patriarchy which is the reason why your mother said that you are also my heir until she gave birth a son. If not then it will be your son with you as his proxy. Most of us grew up and take job in the ministry, mostly unspeakable." Lornell finished. Lyndell could felt the incoming headache because the information rush.
'Mom's and dad's family come from the wizarding line here and from all they've said that means I am a pureblood witch, and since mom said Edmund of Stinchcombe that means if I'm not wrong then I am also related to the Potter which means I am also very distantly related to the Potter. Bloody hell this is so confusing!'
Fortunately before her brain has a major crash, an owl came flying from the window that was opened and dropped a letter on her lap. Lyndell's eyes widen as she read the back where the Hogwarts crest are printed.
"My Hogwarts letter!" She squealed, Lilianna rolled her eyes while Lornell just smiled.
She immediately opened the letter and read its contents

~o0o~
Lyndell felt like she want to jump and screamed that she was a witch to the world. Realizing her parents are waiting for her to say something she immediately said to them.
"I'm accepted!" Lyndell smile brightly, Lilianna smiled to her.
"Well of course you are accepted. With your numerous accidental magic when you're still a baby it will be weird if you're not." Well, it appears she has a quite strong magic.
"Mom, when are we going to buy the supplies?" Lilianna cast the tempus charm and smiled at her very excited daughter.
"We'll go at noon, hopefully the rush of students preparing for the term will be lessen."
Lyndell smiled and rushed to her room to change her clothes. Hopefully she will have a good robes to use.
Lyndell looked at Diagon Alley for the first time, well at not for the first time since her family came from the wizarding line then that means she must've come here hundreds time with her mother. But judging by her mom's face it appears she's always like this whenever we went to Diagon Alley.
Entering Gringotts she couldn't helped to look at the Goblins. Now that she closely looked them not from her imagination or behind the screen they really looks menacing, and creepy. She made sure she's always at her mother side.
"Good afternoon Nagnok, I wished for an inheritance test and visit of the family fault as well withdrawal from both mine and Walker trust fund." Lilianna said to the Goblin at the counter, said Goblin write something on a parchment and enter it into the slot. Not long then, another goblin came to them.
"Please follow me Lady Walker, Ms. Walker." Lyndell followed her mom and the goblins and entered a room that looked like an office.
"Please put your blood into the vial seven drops to be exact." Lilianna did as she was told and then the goblin wave his hand to the vial and to a parchment. Then words began to swirling on the parchment.
Lilianna Rosea Walker nee Edelweiss
Lady Walker
Heiress Apparent to the Ancient and Noble House of Edelweiss
Heiress Presumptive to the Elder House of Pevensie
Heiress Presumptive to elder House of Caspian
"Well, the other two was unexpected." Lilianna muttered, the goblin didn't say anything and took out a box. He opened it revealing two rings one with golden band and yellow crystal with edelweiss flower inside it while the other one has silver band and blue crystal with edelweiss flower inside it as well.
"This is the Head ring for the Ladyship and the Heir ring. The Pevensie and Caspian ring cannot be given as they are ruled by patriarchy. If there's a son born into the family then you may take the rings. But until then, we will held onto the ring." The goblin explained.
"Of course. Then I would like to have a visit of Edelweiss family vault and withdrawal from the other vaults." Lilianna said to the goblin. The goblin nodded and rang a bell, another goblin came into the room.
"Bloodfang will take you into the vault Lady Walker-Edelweiss. Gringotts congratulate you for your inheritance." Lilianna nodded and they exchanged pleasantry using another language that Lyndell couldn't understand then they left the office following Bloodfang and finally the times came for the part she most wanted.
The cart ride.
~o0o~
After a thrilling cart ride and seeing the dragon guarding the family vault they headed to the Walker family vault for her mother to take moneys for her supplies and then her trust vault for her to take some as well. In case if she ever got lost, again.
"Vault 689." Lyndell hopped down from the cart and hearing the vault number she began to think.
'Now why does the number feels familiar.' She didn't really think it long enough because her mother already finished taking the money so they headed back.
After they exited Gringotts, they started to buying the supplies and adding a few other books as well. From what her mother explained, brewing a potion is a really dangerous job and needs to be very careful for the measurement and calculation. Thank goodness she's quite good at math and her mother is a potion mistress.
"Lyndell, I need to go to the apothecary to buy my supplies. It will be quite long since I need quite a huge batch this time so why don't you go to Ollivander to buy your wand. Just use the money in your bag for the mean time okay honey." Lyndell smiled at her mom
"Sure mom. No biggie." Lilianna smiled and dropped her daughter at the Ollivander then continuing her way to the apothecary.
Lyndell entered the shop and feels cold ran through her back again. This place is really creepy.
"Welcome to Ollivander Ms. Walker. Came for your first wand?" She almost jump at the sudden appearance of Ollivander. She quickly nodded and after almost ten times of testing she finally found her wand. 13 inches Ash with unicorn hair, unyielding.
Lyndell came out from the store very satisfied with her wand. While she was waiting for her mother at the Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour and eating her minty chocolate ice cream with colorful sprinkles she thought maybe she should try a few spell with her wand. If she could managed to do the spell then good for her, if she couldn't… well at least she won't try a harmful spell. Hopefully it won't blow up though.
With that decided, she bring out her wand from her wand holster, which she decided to buy that will ensure her wand safety so she won't be worried for her wand to be stolen like Harry's in Goblet of Fire.
Not really knowing what to do she just concentrate to make light on the tip of her wand and casted.
"Lumos." A bright light came appears from the wand, thankfully it's not that bright that could make you blind. Lyndell could feel her mouth grinning like madman and excitedly thought only one thing.
'I can't wait to start at Hogwarts!'
