2. Kolkata is the capital of West Bengal, a state in India

3. we call father, 'Baba' in Bangla

4. many small metallic bells strung together form ghungroos, a musical anklet tied to the feet of classical Indian Dancers.

Sweet little puppies

That's the only thing on Maya's mind right now. The dog on their street had recently given birth to 5 beautiful puppies. She petted them as she waited in anticipation. 

It was her 20th year. Well, in normal human years, it was 10 but literally, it was 20.

Her father still thought she was growing too fast though. 

He had discovered her 10 years back, something about her power being strong enough to be detected, until then she had lived with Jui mashi ( we call aunties mashi which means mother's sister or pishi which means father's sister sometimes even if they are not related to us) in Kolkata. She had been mixed into the family, the pujo, the society. She didn't even look like her mother, she looked Indian. Something about her changing her body at a young age, in order to fit in.

Her mother visited her sometimes but kept a distance, she wanted to protect her from something. 

Wands Maximoff, that's what was written on the tombstone when Baba showed it to her. She had been too scared of the incident that lead to her mother's death to stay long.

Someone is coming.

She could feel it.

There was a familiar tingle.

Maya was quick to run back home. The one here at least. It was cosy and comfortable, no Asgardian castle could compare to this. There was a sweet fragrance of Rajnigandha that lingered in the air, in the evening the Gondhoraj bloomed, and the smell of the first rain could calm her heart here and overall she could drown in the sound smell and feel of this place forever.

" O Jui pishi, ora mone hoi ektu pore ashbe! tumi ready thako, amio ready hoi ni!" ( O Jui Pishi, I think they will arrive soon, be ready and I will also get ready !)

" thik ache! Control e thakish kintu! tor baba amai boleche, tor gaer jor anek bere geche!" ( Ok! Stay in control though! Your father told me that your strength increased a lot!)

It was already near the end of August, and she almost thought they had forgotten her.

She quickly removed her contacts and combed out her hair, trying to look presentable at least.

Violet eyes were staring back t her when she looked in the mirror, oh how she had missed those.

Just then there was the sound of the calling bell. Wait. She had to wait for them to call her. 

Then in walked a white-haired and white-bearded, half-moon-shaped-glasses-wearing grandpa and a very strict-looking old lady. Both wearing weird clothes. Was that supposed to happen? There was a call for Maya and as she came down from the 2nd floor, it was quite confusing, they were not normal officials of the ministry. 

Maya's POV

" Hello, Miss Maya. I hope you are doing well, I know this is a bit of a shocker but let's sit down first ok?" the grandpa said, interpreting my confusion as 'no knowledge about what the hell this is ' look. We did sit down.

" I am the Head Master of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Professor Dumbledore and this is," he said pointing at the lady " the transfiguration professor of our school, Professor McGonagall "

" We are here to admit you into our school, you may have received a letter while you were a newborn, I don't know why it had interpreted your age as 10 at the time since you are clearly still a child. We assumed that you were really powerful, so that's why we are here. Usually, we just send the letter but since you stay quite far away and are well into the territory of another school we personally came here to escort you."

Well, I was in fact 10 at the time I received the letter. It arrived the day before I left for Asgard. But considering the fact that I grow half as fast as a normal human, made me 5 at the time. Well it was the same reason why my mother didn't notice her pregnancy for a long time, she was pregnant for 2 years I think.

As to their reason for escorting me? I say it's bullshit. they wanted to see if I was a threat, as far as I had heard, Dumbledore was the strongest of their race so if anyone could calm down an ultra-powerful rage-enveloped child, it was him. According to their knowledge at least.

He explained most things about the wizarding world to them and I had to sit through the whole thing like I didn't know. Heimdall had explained everything to her long back. 

Those were the most torturous 30 minutes of my life! Even if he is the God of mischief, he shouldn't make me go through this. I was tempted to leave a mirage and go play games but I am pretty sure this guy would sense it. And an underage witch performing undetectable magic is quite sus.

" I don't know how safe this would be for you to go to Hogwarts in this current situation so in case of any danger you will immediately send home."

"What danger?"  I asked. Certainly, nothing they can't handle right? they are magic people! 

" Our world is currently facing.........a rather old threat and I would understand if you don't want to send your child." said the old guy.

Jui pishi just looked at me and I nodded, if there was danger she could handle it, her father was a god after all.

"When do I leave?"

" well your school starts in a week so we can go right no-" the lady jabbed the grandpa lightly with her elbow and then whispered something to him.

"We can leave in 2 days if you want and I offer you a little help with packing."

I was soon packed and goodbye-d and the grandpa did something to my backpack so I could everything with me, even my harmonium and ghungroo. 

When I was packing my brown contacts, 

"Those would not be needed child."

" why?"

" the wizarding world has plenty of...........unusual features, believe me, violet eyes and not something too odd."

I made a flying kiss towards the sky as I went with them, off to my way to London.

I have decided that I would add the author's notes to all the chapters so that you guys can understand where the chapter ends, I have seen that sometimes the chapters don't load fully.

Ok bye, darlings!
