This is the second installment of the story and is dedicated to my sister on her birthday.

Flashback

Sarah sighed inwardly as she saw the fear on the boy's face. Standing she extended her hand to the woman.

"Good morning, I am Sarah Rebecca Holden from MACUSA and Illvermorny. I'm here to escort you and Connor to the market. I must compliment you on how well behaved Connor is. He was so polite and I must say there aren't many boys his age who can brew a cup of coffee so well," Sarah says shaking Elizabeth Simmons's hand gently.

"I also love your home, I must say I've done my share of home visits for students and your house is practically immaculate," Sarah says.

She watches as the woman smiles but casts a look around the kitchen. Connor sets a saucer with a coffee cup on the table by his mother. He waits a moment and his hopeful little expression is cute. A moment later it falls as the older woman casts him a look and he gets to work fixing breakfast. Sarah hides a cringe by taking a drink from her coffee.

"I'll he honest Mrs. Holden... my husband and I thought this was all some kind of joke or promotion for one thing or another. You said you from MAFUSA? Isn't that a movie character?" Elizabeth says idly stirring her coffee and sips it.

The woman's tone wasn't anything she hadn't dealt with before but it still irked. Taking another sip of the coffee, she smiles and levels a calm look at the woman.

"I'm from the MACUSA, the governmental body tasked with guiding young witches and wizards. Illvermorny as stated in the letter is America's oldest Wizarding school. Mrs. Simmons you have an extraordinary child. His test scores are among the highest in his grade and I know about the...incidents," Sarah says taking a drink of her coffee.

"Well he is talented in cleaning and cooking," Elizabeth says as Connor sets a plate of food down by both women.

The simple plate had a single egg, toast, turkey bacon and a slice of melon.

Sarah kept smiling even while thinking the woman was treating the boy like a house elf. Taking a polite bite of the food, she nods to Connor.

"Thank you Connor this is very good," she says to Connor as he sits with his own plate.

He smiles brightly and quickly but quietly eats his food.

"Well our daughter is leaving for school and I don't have a sitter for the twins. So I'm sorry unless you want to take him yourself, we'll have to reschedule," Elizabeth says as she seasons the eggs and eats. "Furthermore I'm not sure how you expect us to pay for some fancy private school."

Connor's expression falls as he gets to work preparing more food for his siblings who are either still asleep or waiting in the hall. Sarah smiles her best smile for difficult NoMaj. Many parents would be overjoyed about their child being selected but with the difficult ones there were rules and guidelines.

"I understand your concerns and I would be happy to take Connor. For students like him who earned a scholarship the school covers the tuition and fees. This also alleviates the worry for parents who simply can't afford the cost of a private tutor," Sarah says as she pulls out a folder from her coat.

"Simply sign here and I'll have him back by the end of the day and return for him on the morning of the 3rd," she says pulling out a fountain pen and handed it to Mrs. Simmons.
