Chapter 14: Ending: Ilvermorny

Harry P.O.V.

Giovanna closed her suitcase full of books, school robes, and other clothes ready for her new adventure entering a new school. Not just any school this was Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and this would be the first year that a Potter would set foot in a different school other than Hogwart. This must be a nervous and happy moment for her to do. I am as well nervous for her. Hermione nor I have never been to any other wizarding school so this would be all new to all of us. I have my fingers crossed.

"Do you think you have everything?" I asked standing in her doorway to her room with my hands behind my back.

"I think so, I have the school textbooks, my favorite books that I like to read like The Princess Bride when I get homesick, my school robes, and my normal clothes. Aira is already downstairs so I think that I am ready!"

"Where is your wand?" I smirked.

Gio's mouth dropped and her hand quickly covered it, "No, can you help me find it?"

She quickly ran over to her dresser and scrambled in search for her precious wand. But I knew where it was at that very moment; in my hand behind my back. It was on the dining room table downstairs. Me and James, my oldest boy, both wanted to trick her but this was the first time since she got the wand weeks ago that she has ever been apart from it. I chuckled. "Gio."

"What?" Gio ran over. I held my hand out to wiggly present to her a long oak wood with phoenix feather core wand. "Dad, you knew where it was from the start! Wait a minute did you and James plan this?" Giovanna hated when her younger brother James play tricks on her and especially when I joined in on the fun. if her grandfather was alive today Giovanna would not know what to do with two James playing tricks on her.

She tries to grab it from me and I swiftly took my arm behind my back again to present her my other hand which had a letter addressed to her in my handwriting.

"What's this?" Gio hesitated. "You two better not be playing a trick on me."

"You don't know until you open it!" I sang. Gio looks back at me suspiciously but took the letter out of my hand and opened it. "Read it out loud for me." I leaned against the wooden door frame arms folding in wait.

"Dear Giovanna Lucille Potter,

You are about to make a journey of a lifetime. A journey that I hope to be as just as exciting as mine and your mother's was when we did it an ocean away. Hopefully, yours will be a lot safer than ours. I hope you make loyal and trustworthy friends and learn all that you want and can there. Even though this will be new territory for you since you will be the first Potter to enter the American Wizarding school, I think you will be just fine. Just be yourself. I wish you the best and I will always love you and will miss you while you are gone.

Love,

Your Adoring Father

Harry Potter

P.S. I want to hear about everything that you experience there. I want to know all about what is the difference between Ilvermorny and Hogwarts." Gio started to tear up as I pulled her into a hug. This is one trait that she inherited from Hermione, her letting her emotion out instead of keeping them bottled in. I should follow them and their footsteps more in the future.

"Thank you, Daddy," Gio said wiping a tear away. "And I can't wait to tell you everything!"

"I can't wait too, Gio," I say. "I just want you to be happy and be brave on this path. I know you can do it!" Gio agreed as I wiped a tear off her face.

"Gio, are you ready?" Hermione called from downstairs. "Aira is making a fuss in her cage!"

"Come on, you don't want to make your mum wait or your owl," I say giving back her wand as she wiped away another one of her tears off her face.

"Gio, come on!" Sophia said running up the stairs. "I think we are going to be late!"

"Calm down Sophia!" Gio said grabbing her suitcase and closing her door behind her. "We have a lot of time!"

The three of us went downstairs to find Hermione, Matthew, and James waiting for us. Hermione had her hands on her hips getting a bit impatient while Matthew and James played with Aira, Gio's beautiful striped owl. Hermione and I brought her while in the American version of Diagon Alley which here they call Garnet Boulevard. Aira is a feisty one, unlike Hedwig, but she can be nice when she wants to and she loves Gio the most.

"Do you have everything?" Hermione asked.

Gio nodded, "Where is Teddy they should be here by now?"

Swiftly like clockwork Andi and Teddy came through the floo system in the adjacent living room. Teddy had his bags packed ready for his journey with Giovanna. Andi decided to come along with us after James and Matthew were born to America because she wished Teddy to have his Godfather near and also we were the only family that she had left. She couldn't imagine a world without us. So we all settled in the state of New York to keep us all together.

"Here we are!" Teddy called out running to meet us. Teddy was growing substantially throughout the years and was now beginning to tower over Giovanna bit. Giovanna and Teddy didn't mind this not by the slightest because they were each other's first friends and nothing was going to change it.

"I think we are ready to disapparate to Salem's Crossing," I said. Salem's Crossing is where the American students of Ilvermorny go to travel to their new home.

We all gathered hands with Gio and Teddy holding their respective bags and disapparated to Salem's Cross.

Gio POV

"I hear Ilvermorny is cooler than Hogwarts!" Sophia said. "Ilvermorny is more modern and have fewer things destroying the place!"

"Sophia, that's not true!" James said. "They say an ugly monster has been terrorizing the school lately and it is the ones you read from books like vampires. How can Hogwarts compete with that?"

"How do you two know?" Matthew said. "We will never go there!"

"Well thanks, guys this helps a lot," I say sarcastically.

"Will you three step making your sister nervous this is all new for all of us," My Mum said.

"But Mom what if the rumors are true then what will she do?" James said. Since we move to New York, I'm the only one that calls mom 'mum' out of all of her children. I also read all the Ilvermorny textbooks and then the theories about different monsters in the area so I think that it is safe to say I am fine and this rumor is not true.

Salem Cross was filled with families and conductors talking over each other making sure that things were good to go for the incoming nervous sixth graders to the very happy 12th graders. I wanted to take things step-by-step at Salem's Cross but that was going to be a hassle, to say the least. Even with the hustle and bustle all around me, I took in the fresh feeling of the steam that filled the air. This was all nerve-wracking but the steam made everything soothing and safe. I hope Teddy feels the same, he can be a worrywart sometimes.

"'Mione, It might be true you never know we saw a three-headed dog in our second year," Dad said cheekily.

"Harry, I think it is just a bad rumor going around."

"People started to think that we were together before we got together and that wasn't a bad rumor in the end."

"Why do you always find ways to make me smile, Harry?" Mum replied. "Oh there is one more thing that I want to give you before you leave," she reached into her pocket. She took out another letter addressed to me but this time in Mum's handwriting. My mum and dad are so sweet I'm going to miss their cute banter with each other when I leave finally. I always thought it was cute. I began to open the letter she gave me. "Wait no not here read it once you get on the train I think you would be delighted in what I say and what I gave you."

"Thanks, Mom," I hugged her and she kissed my forehead.

Teddy and I quickly got on to the train as we heard it signal for the final call for passengers to get on. We waved bye to my parents, my brothers, sister, and Andi when we found an empty cart. I saw my mom start to cry tears of joy and sadness into my dad's arms as the train departed the train station.

"I am nervous about this, Gio," Teddy says sitting across from me.

"Me too," I say.

The sound of the train cart's door open to a young girl about our age with medium tan skin with fairly curly hair. She was already wearing her school uniform when she came in.

"Hello!" the girl said. "Is it okay if I join you? I know no one here..."

"Sure we are actually new to this country's magical community," Teddy explains.

" Oh cool, I'm Rachel Anderson by the way." Rachel said. "Did you guys transfer something?"

"I am Giovanna Potter but you can call me Gio and that's Theodore Lupin but we calling him, Teddy," I introduced. "No, we moved here when we were very young. We're originally from Britain."

"Britain so you're originally were supposed to go to Hogwarts." Rachel said. "Sorry I read a lot about the Wizarding World and the other Wizarding schools around the world. I actually know nothing about the Wizarding World other than the books that read when I bought them for school."

"So you're saying that you are a muggle-born" Teddy asked.

"Muggle-born?"

"Yeah, people that are born magical but don't have magical parents," I explained. "My mother is a muggle-born."

"And so is my grandfather," Teddy said.

"I guess it's different in Britain what they call no maj-born people. In the US they call muggle-borns, as you put it, no-maj born," Rachel said.

"Are you excited to go to Ilvermorny?" I asked.

"A little from what I read about Ilvermorny they really want to keep a secret about how the kids get sorted into their houses. I guess to keep the magical moment for us 6th graders."

"Really my mom and dad always told me that at Hogwarts they sat under a hat and the hat would look into their minds and sort them into the house that would be more plausible for them."

"That's interesting! Maybe they do something different for Ilvermorny Students!"

"Hello, students of Ilvermorny!" A man voice said projecting his voice throughout the train cars. "I hope you're excited about your new year with us. We know it's going to be a fun Year together. We will be coming into the Ilvermorny Station, Squalor's Gare, in just a few minutes so I hope all of you have your school uniforms on. As for the 6th graders, we want you to exit the train station and follow the fairies to the secret entrance where you will be sorted into your houses."

Once off the train and entering Salem's crossing the three of us found the fairies and followed them to a Beautiful vine archway who was lit up in all colors to a heavy wooden door. Several of the other sixth graders had to help each other open the door once opened we found a fairly young wizard With a full head of brunette hair and semi-tan skin there to greet us all.

"Hello welcome, I am Mr. Paterson the main counselor of Ilvermorny." He introduced himself. "Everyone in Livermore is so grateful to have you here we know you, young Wizards and witches, we'll all do great here. We just know it. now for your houses, we have Thunderbird who is mostly for the adventurous. The Wampus for The fearless warriors, the Pukwudgie for the healers and the caring, and last but not least the horned serpent for those of you wanting nothing more than to learn. Behind me is the door where each and every one of you will go in and stand right in the middle. there are four statues that will call forth you to join their house. do I have any questions before I send the first student into the chamber?"

" is it possible for all four statues to come to you?" Rachel raises her hand.

"Yes there is a possibility of that happening but it is rare but if you are called for more than one house you get to choose between them. any other questions?"

" what do we do after we get a house?"

once you enter the chamber and get house doors in front if you will open in an ounce on the other side your house to the waiting older children who will be waiting for your arrival to start the feast of their first day back. If there is no more questions we should start with our first student. Rachel Anderson his first one to claim a house."

Rachel looks back at us nervous we gave her a pat on the back and reassurance that everything will be okay for her and us. She went in and Mr. Patterson closes the door behind her. There was silence for about 5 minutes until we can hear on the other side of the door a thunderous voice saying "Thunderbird!" we could hear even though it was very muddled kids cheering on their new member to their house.

"Hope we get into Thunderbird so we can be with her," Teddy said and I agreed.

After a few kids in front of us went ahead and thunderous applauses and announcements to the other sixth graders going into their houses came time for Teddy to join a house in Ilvermorny. He crosses fingers as he went in the darkroom. another 5 minutes pass and the thunderous voice boomed over, "Thunderbird!" Congratulations Teddy I hope I can join you…

A few more students went ahead of me before my name was called and I went in to the dark chamber. The chamber wasn't completely dark it had a moonlight entrance that was emulating light to the center of the room. it look mysterious at first but once I stood into the moonlight I felt a sense of comfort. this was going to be a little bit easier than I thought it would be. I knew I had my father's bravery in me somewhere underneath my mom's thirst to learn.

A few seconds pass well I'm standing in the Moonlight and think to myself bet maybe it's going to take a little bit more longer for me to get signed a house then my friends. me and my dad had conversations about his time at Hogwarts and how he was almost put into Slytherin instead of the one he really wanted to be in Gryffindor. Maybe this was my story to him.

Suddenly I hear the statues move even though I could not see them. They were loudly scraping the floor beneath them and before I know it I am face to face with a Pukwudgie Statue and I am speechless. how can I just be a caring person not that there's anything wrong with that but I thought my potential would be a lot more higher. maybe I can work with this Pukwudgie House can be a good experience for me, but then The Horned serpent came up to me. so I have to choose. then the other two statues comes to me. so there is a story here Dad I'm accepted by all four houses but I think I know where I want to go. I step out of the Moonlight and touched the Thunderbird statue then with the thunderous voice it said "Thunderbird!" as the doors opened to the big Cafe like room as Thunderbird's students stood up and cheered and welcomed me into the next seven years of my life.

After following the Valedictorian and Salutatorian of the senior class around for the tour of the castle, all of the sixth graders were taken to the Thunderbird tower, which was the tallest tower in the castle, and were assigned our rooms. The sixth graders dorm for the year would make every child in America envious. The wood floor were polished so well we could see our reflection in them. As for the beds, they were made for each student in mind, I love a fluffy cotton mattress with a Polyester blanket that made my body at the utmost comfort and I was not disappointed.

"Gio, I think you forgot to open your letter you got from your mom today," Teddy said while fluffing up his pillow so he could put his back against it. Teddy gleeful of this new place. It was all exciting to him. He could not wait until he walked into our American Magical History class tomorrow. This all was going to be exciting for all three of us. A new trio for a new place.

I gasped I absolutely forgot that I even have my mother's letter in my pocket. I scrambled to get it from my robe's pocket and almost tore the letter itself just trying to get it open.

"Calm down, Gio." Rachel said.

I finally got it open and began to read my mother's letter.

'Dearest darling Giovanna,

I hope you are well and I hope Ilvermorny Is just as amazing as Hogwarts was to us. I think you will have a brilliant time their meeting new friends and learning all new subjects that your father and I have never learned.

Since you were born part of the war, I hope you will lead a very normal life than Harry and I lead. You know we were constantly battling evil witches and wizards who were actively trying to kill us for who your father was and who I was in The Wizarding World and then there were witches and wizards who were on our side but wanted to try us from each other and also keep us away from you in the end.

I want us to have that all in the past and once you get to Ilvermorny I want you to send at least one letter every three days to us explaining how you are and if you are having a good time. We want things to be better for you so if any problem arises you can call us by fireplace.

You are a bright young girl and I love you deeply.

I hope for you the best.

Sending lots of love to you,

Your very caring Mother,

Hermione Granger

P.S. If you learn anything new in Ilvermorny I want you to explain it to me. I still love to learn even if it is from My already knowledgeable daughter!

Thank you, Mom. I jump on my first letter back to you once I go to my first class I just hope that you find these subjects as interesting as I do.

Thank you for reading I am would like it if you read my other stories:
