Some stories begin with magic. Lyra's didn't. Raised in America by a mother who refused to speak about the past, Lyra Smith spent years believing England was just a place they left behind. But transferring to Hogwarts at thirteen forces her into the very past Jenna spent years running from. As the years pass, Lyra finds herself swept into friendships, rivalries, slightly reckless adventures, heartbreaks, half truths and a war growing darker by the day. But growing up means learning that heroes are not always invincible, love doesn't always save people and even the brightest stars can only guide you so far. The Harry Potter universe and its characters belong to J.K. Rowling. Jenna is a character adapted from TinaX2's works on Wattpad. While inspired by elements of Tina's 'Muggle' series, this story is ultimately its own and can be read independently. Lyra, Elina, Isadora, Aleksander and Valentino are original characters created by me.
