It was the summer of Alina's seventh year at Ilvermorny School for Witchcraft and Wizardry, she was finally able to take her wand home and got a chance to show those at the school her magic. She was having a terrific summer when one day a lone figure came walking up the drive to the mansion, the alarms didn't go off so he definitely was not a mutant. He comes up to the door and rings the doorbell.

"Can I help you, sir?" Storm says when she opens the door.

"Yes madam I'm here to see Professor Charles Xavier and his daughter Alina." Storm hesistates for a moment.

"And who shall I say is calling?"

"Forgive me, Albus Dumbledore."

*Storm, let him in and bring him to my office straight away.* The professor tells Storm telepathically.

"Right this way Mr. Dumbledore."

They went up to Charles' office where Storm showed him.

"Thank you, Storm, would you mind getting Alina for me, please?"

"Sure thing, Charles." With that Storm closes the door and leaves.

"Please, Albus have a seat."

"Thank you Charles, I'm sure you're wondering why I'm here after so many years."

"Yes, the thought did cross my mind, I'm assuming it has something to do with Alina and the fact that she's a witch." Charles asks, templing his fingers and scrutinizing Dumbledore. Albus felt a little uncomfortable under the telepath's gaze. But then he gasps, it just hit him what Charles had said.

"Alina is a witch, since when?"

"Since she turned 11 years old, frankly I'm surprised you didn't know about it sooner."

"No I had no idea, is she enrolled in a school?"

"She's attending Ilvermorny School of Witchraft and Wizardry."

"And how is she doing in her classes?"

"She is at the top of her class in every subject magical and non-magical."

"Non-magical?"

"Yes, they teach practical courses as well so that the students may go on to college and have careers in the real world if they choose to."

Albus was impressed, he never thought of that. Just then Alina came into her dad's office.

"Hey Dad, you wanted to see me?"

"Yes I do, Alina, I want you to meet your grandfather, Albus Dumbledore." Albus stood up and held his arms out to embrace her, Alina only offered her hand in response.

"Forgive me, sir, but I don't know you and the most I can offer you is my hand." Alina tells Dumbledore.

"I can understand that, Alina, I haven't actually had an active role in your life, but I would like to change that. I was hoping that you had inherited your mother's gifts, so I could invite you to come study at Hogwarts, but I see that you are doing quite well in Ilvermorny. Tell me what is your favorite magical class?

"That would be DADA, sir."

"Your father tells me you're at the top of your class, is that also true for Defense Against the Dark Arts class."

"Yes that happens to be the class I excel at, Professor Fontaine tells me that I could be an auror right now if I wanted to, without any further training."

Albus was very impressed, he had never heard of such a thing before. She must be very talented, indeed.

"How old are you now, Alina?"

"I'm 17 this is my last year at Ilvermorny and the first year I get to bring my wand home."

"Oh, yes, I forgot that student aren't allowed to take their wands home. The reason I ask, my dear is because I would like to get to know you better and I was wondering if perhap you wouldn't mind doing your last year at Hogwarts."

Alina stared at her grandfather for a good long while before answering.

"Yes, I would mind doing my last year at Hogwarts. This is to be the best year of my life, I have all my mundane classes finished so it would only be my magical classes and I was going to have mostly electives, not to mention that I'll miss my friends. I've known them since first year I can't abandon them."

Albus looked very disappointed then he brightens.

"I'll see what we can work out with your classes, but how about if your friends attend Hogwarts as well."

Alina's mouth fell open in shock, if her friends could go, people she trusts, people that knew about her being a mutant and were fine with it, she wouldn't feel so alone. She knew how blood purity oriented the British Wizarding World is so she already didn't trust them. So having her own crew there would make it so much easier.

"What do you think, Dad?"

"I think once again it is your decision, but don't forget Alek."

"That's right, Let's get this out in the open now, I won't even consider this if my familar can't come, I won't set one toenail in Hogwarts without him."

Dumbledore looks a her suspiciously, "And what is he?"

Alina uses her telepathy to call Alek, who is outside playing with one of the shapeshifter kids. The Dire wolf comes into the mansion and is making his way up to Charles office.

"I called him telepathically, he should be her in a minute."

"If I may ask what are your mutant powers?" Albus asks his granddaughter.

"I'm a telepath like my father, telekinetic, a teleporter, and I have healing factor, meaning I can heal from anything." The other two things she wasn't going to tell him about, she didn't trust him that much.

*A wise decision, Alina, I don't fully trust him either.* her father tells her.

Just then the door swings open and in walks the biggest wolf that Professor Dumbledore has ever seen, Albus get up and back away.

"This is my familar, grandfather, (Might all well get used to it). His name is Alek, he's a Dire Wolf.

"I thought Dire Wolves were exstinct." Alina and Alek look at each other.

"No there is a very small pocket of them that live with the Magical Native Americans, Alek chose to be my familar."

"Is he dangerous?" Alek lets out a bark of a laugh

"As long as I'm not being threaten, no he isn't."

Professor Dumbledore thought about it for a minute and decided.

"Yes, you may bring Alek."

"Good now that's settled I just have to convince my friends to go with me."

It turned out to be a lot easier that Alina thought, Sam and Max were all for studying abroad for a year and Dylan was going where ever Maxine went. After all the other three were in the same boat they were all second, third and fourth highest in their class, also with all their mundane studys done, they didn't think they would have a problem with the school work at Hogwarts.

Charles had a lovely dinner planned for all the parents so Albus could talk to them and the parents agreed. The kids packs their trunks and disaperate with Albus to the Leaky Cauldron. Alina follows a little later after she says goodbye to everyone, she teleports to The Leaky Cauldron. Once they are all back together, they follow Dumbledore, he shows them to their rooms he has reserved for them, there they leave their stuff and their familars. Dumbledore then takes them out the back, where he taps on a brick wall and they come apart revealing Diagon Alley.

"Welcome to Diagon Alley." The quartet look around noticing how old everything looks, Dragon Alley was the same way but not this old.

"Well what shall we do first?"Dylan asks

"I think we should go to Gringotts and get some extra money." Samantha says, they all agree and head to the bank.

They go to talk to the head goblin. "Hello, sir," The goblin looks down at Alina and her gang. "We're here to make withdrawls, but we're from the United States, will that be a problem?"

The entire bank stopped what they were doing and stared at them.

Dylan leans over to Maxine, "They're staring at us like we're a bunch of freaks. Now I know how some mutants feel." Maxine nods.

The head goblin looks all four of them over, "No Miss. there shouldn't be a problem as long as you lot have your keys."

The four pull out their keys. The head goblin calls for Griphook who takes them to their vaults. Once they gotten their money, they head back out to Diagon Alley. The first thing they do is look at the supply list for school

Others may be approved on a case by case basis. You will need to get permission from the school RPG admin (Dumbledore) before bringing any other pets to school.

They look at the list and immedietely start to complain.

"Oh, I'm not getting a stupid Crystal Ball, devination is lame." Maxine says and the others agree.

"And I'm not taking Arithmancy, I took Calculus for that so I don't need an abacus" Dylan adds Once again the others agree.

"I think we will have to compare what you all have studied to our own curriculum, but if you don't want to take arithmancy and divination that's fine. Now let's go get your supplies."

They went to Flourish and Blotts and bought all the books for sixth and seventh year, plus the other books on the list. They shrunk them down and put them in Samantha's purse. Then they went to Madam Malkins Robe shop to get their robes, where they were disappointed that the robes were only in black, but oh well. They next went to the broom shop where Alina was going to buy a new broom, her and Dylan decided they would try out for whatever house they got into Quidditch team. If they got great if not, oh well The most important thing was that they all get into the same house, and they decided that Gryffindor fit them all the best.

They went to the Apothcary and got all their potions supplies. They all decided to head to Magical Menagerie to buy some supplies for their pets after that they went to Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour, just to relax. The professor had told them he would meet them at the Leaky Cauldron in an hour, so they had time to kill.

"Do you think we'll do alright a Hogwarts, Alina." Samantha asks

"Yeah, I don't see why not, we're the smartest one of our class, and they seem to be a little behind…"

"You mean backwards, can you believe the have arithmancy and divination, and no modern classes?" Maxine comments.

"Yeah it's like time stood still here, or they want to keep their kids useless in the mundane world so they have no other choice but to remain here." Dylan says as he eats another spoonful of his ice cream.

"At least they allow No-Maj to join the school"

"I wonder if they'd be so inviting if they knew what I am." The others nod their head.

It was time to head back to the Leaky Cauldron to meet up with professor Dumbledore, They all went upstairs to their rooms, the girls sharing one, and change for dinner. They went downstairs and met up with the Professor.

"So what did you think of Diagon Alley?"

"It was nice different from Dragon Alley but still pretty cool," Alina tells him, the others agree.

"I didn't ask you four before, it had completely slipped my mind, but do you have a final test at the end of your seventh year?"

"Yes, Professor, it's similar to your N.E.W.T.'s but ours has questions from our No-Maj classes."

"Well then I think it would only be fair that I get you copies of those test so you can take them at Hogwarts instead of the N.E.W.T.'s. What do you think?" They all looked at each other and think their answers to Alina.

"We think that would be a great idea."

"Wonderful, now off to bed with you, tomorrow you leave for Hogwarts."
