Not My Magical World
Chapter 8
Leaning back in his seat, Harry allowed the rumble of the plane to flow through him before he focused on the book sitting on his tray table. It was a self-revealing book of history created by his parents. Over time the book would reveal more of his world's mutants and magical history when it felt you were ready. However, when his mother found him with the book, she quickly took it away for some reason.
He tried to find it for a time but eventually gave up. Shaking his head, he focused on the book. It was time he reminded himself what he was fighting for.
In 900 A.D. Mordred led Otherworld mutants in a departure from their home dimension. They arrived in England and met up with the local magic users. A race called the blood, who have a natural affinity for drawing in naturally occurring magical energy. This ability grants each blood member a unique power, making them similar to mutants.
Because of their similarities, they were able to join together and start building a society away from ordinary people.
Salazar Slytherin's contribution to the magical world: in 950 A.D. Salazar Slytherin devises a potion using his chemical manipulation abilities to allow the mutants and blood members to share abilities. This potion grants mutants magical power while strengthening a blood member's talent.
Founding of the ancient houses: in 1000 A.D.
The house of Hufflepuff took in all people with the talent for plant life. Helga Hufflepuff/Plant Manipulation
The house Bones took in all people with power over healing or death. Morgana Bones/Mediumship
The house Slytherin took in those with a creative talent Salazar Slytherin/Chemical/Compound Manipulation
The House Ravenclaw took anyone with mental skills. Rowena Ravenclaw/Psionics
The House Gryffindor took those with a knack for battle. Godric Gryffindor/Body Enhancements.
After founding the houses, any new mutant or blood member that came into the world was given Salazar's potion and sent to one of the ancient houses to learn to control their abilities.
Once they had control of their abilities, students would be sent to The Gilgamesh Academy, an Academy founded shortly before Mordred's arrival. It was changed to help mutants and magic users use their powers in unpredictable ways.
Hufflepuff students became the ones that grew the fruits and vegetables for their new haven.
Gryffindor students helped construct the castle.
Salazar's students began developing new ideas, thus giving rise to the culture of the new wizarding world.
Ravenclaw students learned to control their abilities and then scattered across Europe to gather those mutants or magical persecuted. They would then bring them to the castle, where they trained to handle their gifts.
Bone students became healers or talked to ghosts, learning ancient secrets of mysticism. This job made them responsible for filling the Gilgamesh Academy library.
As time passed, the community grew, making them need more space.
In 1030: With the introduction of Pomona Lovegood, a magical mutant, who could manipulate time and space, she moved Gilgamesh Academy and the town around to Bardsey island.
After they moved to the island, more houses were founded to help train incoming magic mutants.
House Longbottom was founded; its members could draw strength from nature. Frederick Longbottom/natural energy absorption.
House Lovegood took those that had precognition. Pomona Lovegood/time-space manipulation.
House Black took in those that had a physical mutation. Arcturus Black/Shapeshifting
House Potter took in those that had elemental-related abilities. Charles Potter/Earth Manipulator
House Weasley took those with intuitive intelligence. Bartholomew Weasley/Mechanical Intuition
More time passed, and eventually, magic and the X gene in Europe became intertwined, creating a new branch of evolution. Bardsley island became a legend, creating the myth of Avalon.
1100 A.D. founding of Avalon Island: Merlyn did not like this and attacked the island, and Bardsley island repelled the attack, but not without a significant loss of life.
Mordred died in the battle along with Godric and Helga. The loss of three of their most influential members hit the islands hard. The inhabitants decided they would hide. Using time-space manipulation and the souls of those killed in the battle, house Bones and Lovegood created a mist that obscured and shifted people away from the island.
After hiding the island, house Ravenclaw would use their psychic abilities to pinpoint mutants and those descended from the blood; they would then remove them from their families.
1200 A.D. This practice continued for 100 years until inhabitants rioted once they learned the truth. From then on, a member of house, Lovegood, and Ravenclaw were paired together to watch for emerging blood members and mutants. Though they managed to get some, they often arrived too late to save the children.
Unfortunately, this wait-and-see attitude caused tension on Avalon as young lives were lost. Over time this tension grew until a fragment of Avalon sailed with Columbus in 1492.
1492 A.D, the discovery of America: While selling with Columbus, many landmasses were discovered, and his Mystic mutant crew was able to find other mutants or those with magical potential. They transformed the newly discovered brethren into Mystic mutants using Salazar Slytherin's elixir.
The Mystic mutants settled on the American continent using maps they copied from Columbus.
Once on land, they traveled the continent, meeting the native tribes. They were able to establish trade and find those with unique gifts. Over time they traded knowledge establishing a tentative peace.
However, that piece was threatened when more Mystic mutants arrived. Though they were friendly, this caused tension between the Mystic mutants and the natives, who thought they were invading their lands. Not wanting a war while they were still settling, the Mystic mutants agreed to move elsewhere.
By this time, some natives had decided to travel with the Mystic mutants, giving rise to new houses.
The house of Scamander, which specialized in animal control, took in those with that ability and animal-like traits.
Over the next 200 years, the Mystic mutants would establish their settlement deep in the mountains of this new land. When the people on the Mayflower arrived, some integrated themselves to look for those with gifts.
1673 A.D. James of house Ravenclaw arrives to reestablish connections with their cousins. While traveling through Virginia, he came across Gloria Knoblach, a young mutant mistaken for a witch. Using illusion, he was able to rescue Gloria.
Eventually, they arrived at Bull Run Mountain, where the settlement/Shadow Run was located. Once there, they discovered that Gloria had telepathic abilities.
While James talked with the leaders of the mountain village about people of the house coming over here to help establish a society, Gloria Knoblach was transformed into a mystic mutant.
1674 A.D. over the next year, Gloria and James grow close as Gloria learns magic and how to control her telepathic abilities. Eventually, they marry.
In 1675 A.D., Gloria gives birth to her first son Edward Evans. It is decided that they will give their children the last name Evans to hide them from her sister, Flora, in case she ever tries to find them.
1676 A.D. Gloria gives birth to another son Samuel Evans
1678 A.D. Gloria gives birth to her daughter Emma Evans
Edward develops telepathy and telekinesis.
Samuel Creed develops emotional empowerment, able to draw on the emotions of others to empower himself.
Emma Franklin develops powerful telepathy surpassing her brother Edward.
In 1696 A.D., twenty-two-year-old Edward returns to England to discover his roots.
Twenty-one-year-old Samuel Knoblach travels across the frontier. Eventually, his descendants would settle in Canada.
In 1700 A.D. Emma Evans leaves her parent's home and travels to Massachusetts. There, she would marry a man named Ethan Frost and establish the Frost family.

Harry was brought out of his thoughts as the plane began to descend. When his mother discovered he was looking for information about their history, she took the book. She gave it back right before they went on the last expedition to smuggle more Otherworld mutants to earth as if she knew they would be separated.
Flipping the tray, he placed the brown leather book into his duffel bag.
The plane touched down with a jolt, the engines' whine echoing through the plane's curved white walls.
After a few minutes, people began disembarking, and Harry rose to his feet. Slinging the duffel bag over his shoulder, Harry moved towards the plane's exit with renewed purpose.
He would help the mutants rise, just like Mordred did in his world. They would build a haven for themselves and have their place in the world whether humanity liked it or not, but first, his eyes narrowed; he would find who killed Robert Frank and make them pay in blood.
