Her parents are not dead, but they might as well be. Legally insane and holding a huge, fatal secret, they drop Nicole Kings and her two younger twin siblings, Nia and Mark, off to an orphanage in the blink of an eye. However, that was all years ago when happiness was even thought possible for the three Kings siblings.
That is, until a strange letter from Hogwarts arrives at their doorstep, but only two names are on the letter. As usual Nicole is left in the dust, and has nothing to live for. As she digs through her old stuff, she finds a small bottle her mother gave her. In an attempt to end it all, she drinks the strange liquid held inside, and before she can even stop to think another letter arrives. Now Nicole, who is three years behind the rest of her fellow wizarding classmates, is off to Hogwarts and finds that all of their lives are in danger, and that her parents might have been trying to explain this the whole time.
Voldemort is back with Nicole, Nia, and Mark as his new targets, and the only people who know why all this is happening, are too insane to explain anything. Only Nicole can save everyone,especially her family, from this last, hidden horcrux.
Ever since Liam Clark got his parents back, life hasn't been easy for the infamous Boy Who Lived. Before Hogwarts, he was content being an ordinary kid. Sure, he had no friends or family, but that was simpler than everyone in the magical world fearing him for no reason. He's so worried about this reputation that he can't start a relationship with his own mum and dad. As he prepares for his second year at Hogwarts, Liam decides to keep his head down, stay out of trouble, and show everyone he can be as normal as the next wizard...
But a recurring dream of a red-haired girl in peril and a nefarious voice in the castle walls sends him on a misadventure with a strange cabinet and an entirely different universe that doesn't know him at all... except, perhaps, the enigmatic Professor Albus Dumbledore. Stranded in this new world, Liam must find a way home to his parents without getting caught up in the mystery of the red-haired girl, a plot at Hogwarts turning people into stone and another Boy Who Lived in the middle of it all.
