Lily and James Potter were desperate. They wanted a child, and this was the only option. This child would be the most precious thing in their lives since finding each other. This ritual would give them their child they had always longed for.

So they stood strong in the circle of pure white chalk in the basement of their villa in Rome, hands clasped and ready. This was the only time it would work. One chance was all they got.

"Magicae orbis, ut nobis concedas in corde pueri, anima columbae, mente angeli desuper ens in potentia magnae largire nostris flos." As Lily chanted, James had poured a red potion into a bowl, followed soon by a white one, and finally a purple liquid. They put it onto an alter and waited, holding hands in suspense, hoping it to work.

When the husband and wife were about to lose hope, a bright light shown and there was a powerful ringing in their ears. As the light soon faded, a cry of a babe was heard and soon an image of the wailing child came into view. Lily gasped and looked at her husband with tears in her eyes, though a bright smile shown in her beautiful face. James beamed back and nodded to the small child on the alter.

She rushed over quickly and picked up the naked infant, cradling it to her chest. James came and stood next to her noticing a small white object on the alter next to where the infant originally had been.

Lily and James,
Please take good care of my child. I wish you the best. I only send this letter to inform you just how special this babe is. I do not have a gender, therefor neither does this child. I have taken pity and made it so that he, for that is the form in which he has come to you in, and made it so he can change between genders at will, though you may prefer to make him a fake birth certificate, or at least put a powerful glamour over the real one so he appears a real boy. His real name is Aster(1)(in honor of both Lily's adoptive family and biological family(2))Daniel Magicae.

1: 'Aster' is Greek for star, as well as a flower. I thought Aster did a great job of honoring both the Black tradition of naming children for stars and the Evans tradition of naming children for flowers.
