Hana Dow and the Dreamcatcher's Bow

Hana Dow is a young African-American girl, living in a room with nine beds in an orphanage somewhere in Alabama. She thinks she's too odd for her own good until one day, a strange woman dressed in all rainbows and crazy red hair drops into her life with a letter from school magic and spellcraft: Ilvermorny. She soon finds herself whisked away into a magical world with magical friends and adventures she'd only ever read about in her books. But soon after stepping foot into the school, weird things begin to happen - much more so for Ilvermorny's standards. A strange, shadow man plaguing her dreams and students getting sick, quodpots and broomsticks going haywire. All of sudden her nightmares start becoming real. Whatever will she do, now that she's finally found the one place in the world where she feels most at home?

This is a huge undertaking of basically a Harry Potter fanfic set in America with like a hodgepodge of all my headcanons for the American wizarding world, particularly Ilvermorny. It will indeed be seven books and seven school years, and yes I will be really trying to emulate Philosopher's Stone with this first book. I've also done my best compile some of the best headcanons from other people around Tumblr and here/there so. This is also my first wattpad submission so it may take me some time to get used to submitting stuff onto here. This series is also going to be available on Tumblr first before it's anywhere else so if you're interested please follow my Harry Potter blog pottercontemporary.tumblr.com I'll most likely be taking more asks/questions/submits there as well. I'm on Tumblr a lot.
