Jake Smith, now Gremory, slowly opened his eyes, squinting against the bright light that flooded the room. Blinking rapidly, he tried to gather his thoughts and make sense of his surroundings. As his vision adjusted, he realized he was lying on a white bed in a place he had never seen before. The room had a slightly medieval feel to it, with stone walls and tall, narrow windows. Confusion swept over him as he wondered how he had ended up here.

Pushing himself up into a sitting position, Jake noticed a middle-aged woman with a stern expression bustling around the room, tending to a few other patients. She wore a crisp white uniform and a pointed hat, which reminded him of the witches he had seen in cartoons.

"Excuse me," Jake called out, his voice still groggy from his recent unconsciousness. "Where am I? What happened?"

The woman turned to face him, her eyes scanning him with a mixture of concern and curiosity. "Ah, you're awake," she said in a brisk tone. "You're at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I am Madam Pomfrey, the school's medi-witch. Hagrid found you in the Forbidden Forest. You were suffering from severe magical exhaustion young man."

"Hogwarts?" Jake repeated, his brow furrowing in confusion. "What's Hogwarts? And the Forbidden Forest? I don't understand. I've never heard of that."

Madam Pomfrey paused for a moment, studying Jake intently. "You mean to say you have no knowledge of the magical world at all?" she asked, her voice tinged with surprise.

Jake shook his head. "No, I've never even heard of magic before today." He chose his next words carefully." I... I had a... magical accident I guess, and I guess something went wrong."

A small smile played at the corner of Madam Pomfrey's lips. "Magic can be a tricky business, especially for those who are new to it. Strange you've never known about magic before today though, but who am I to say what goes on for magical education across the pond. Judging by your accent I'd wager you're from America?" She asked. Jake nodded.

"Well either way I'd suggest you talk to the Headmaster. Maybe he can see about getting you some form of a magical education. He's out of the castle on errands right now, but he'll be back later. Why don't you rest for now," she said.

Jake nodded and laid back in his infirmary bed as Madam Pompfrey went to check on another patient. As he lay there, he contemplated the random day he'd had so far. His completely ordinary and mundane Sunday ended up changing his life forever. He was apparently not only part devil, but also a descendant of King Solomon. Also he had magical powers, which was pretty cool! Maybe he could be a superhero back home? Jake inwardly laughed at that thought.

But how did he end up in England of all places? Did he teleport? Did he even know how to teleport? He literally just found out about magic today, or was it yesterday? He didn't really know how long he'd been knocked out. As he was pondering that Madam Pompfrey came back around towards him. "Excuse me Madam, is there a newspaper for today I could read."

"Sure thing honey." With a flick of her wand a newspaper from across the room levitated all the way over to her. She handed it to him. Jake paused for a second just staring in awe at that trivial display of real life magic. Not wanting to seem anymore like non-magically educated bumpkin, he shook his head and snapped himself out of it.

"Thank you." Jacob took the newspaper and checked the date to see how long he'd been knocked out. "Let's see today is Oc-October 30th 1994!?" He was shocked at that! The month and day were seemingly correct, but the date was literally decades in the past! Did he time travel!? Did he die and Isekai!? What the hell was going on!?

Albus Dumbledore had received a notification that a teenage American wizard had accidentally teleported himself to the forbidden forest. Unsurprisingly, this was the least of his worries on such a busy day. Sometimes he really questioned his decision to take on three full-time jobs, but then reminded himself that it was necessary to prevent the wizarding world from collapsing.
