“So… Not Hogwarts?” Anthony murmured as Raegan signed papers on the dining room table. They had an office, but they preferred to work near the coffee…
“Of course,” Raegan said, matter of factly. “I’m pretty sure our kid’s going to get bullied for being in Slytherin… Ugh, this generation’s worse. Did you hear Harry’s in Griffindor?” “Yeah…”
“Dad, I can’t find my socks..!” A small cry came from upstairs. “I’ll help him,” Anthony smiled and kissed Raegan. “Elliot’s almost 3… Times passed by so fast…”
Raegan sighed with a smile. It’d been years… Too long.
Dinner arrived and Anthony had cooked Elliot’s favorite meal. “Elliot, don’t play with your food…” Anthony warned. The roast chicken was flying.
“Oh, let him be…” Raegan chuckled. “We’ll be leaving soon anyway…”
It was decided: They’ve done their part in the wizarding world. Things were getting too dangerous. It was time to go.
“Did you let the others know? Remus?” Anthony picked at his food.
“I sent him an owl last week…” Raegan sighed. “He said that it was fine… it’s for the best. Agreed to never bring us up… and he’ll obliviate the rest of them… Save for Sirius. He could never… oh dear…wonder when he’ll get out…”
“Yeah…”
“Daddy, where are we going?” Elliot asked, now interested.
“We’re going back home,” Raegan smiled. “It’ll be just the same, but a little different… and better.”
“Where’s that?”
“We’ll explain it later. Finish your food now. We’ll be heading out a little after 12 tomorrow night.”
“Okay.”
Anthony and Raegan gazed lovingly at their child… it was so surreal. The world their parents entered just momentarily… Now they were leaving it behind.
The next night, they stood out on the driveway, holding onto their belongings.
“Here we go, Kiddo,” Anthony held onto Elliot’s small hands. Raegan did the same. “It’s going to feel a little wobbly… but hold your stomach.”
Elliot blinked and felt a slight turn… other than that, nothing seemed to have happened.
“Ah, good. You seem to be a real natural, aren’t you, Ellie!” Anthony lifted Elliot high, catching him in mid-air.
“Welcome to the ‘ol Blackthorn Manor…” Anthony sighed. Raegan squeezed his hand. “Decrepit and torn down. But nothing arcane magic can’t fix.”
Elliot wobbled toward the front steps, picking up a twig. Short sparks flew from the tip as Raegan ran towards him, taking it away. “Oh, not now, little one… You need a proper wand… maybe when you’re a bit older.”
“But did you see that?” Anthony jogged over to meet them. “Sparks from an old twig? Must be pretty strong…”
“He’s going to be the best Mage in Arcanum…”184Please respect copyright.PENANA5jaakwIxfx

So, do you see what happened? You probably don't understand and that's intentional because the original I'm writing is going to create more sense. If I say anything more, I'll spoil my book.184Please respect copyright.PENANAdV9FzNjhpb

I want to clarify that I wrote the fanfic in an ambiguous manner because I don't want it the "leave a lasting imprint" on the Harry Potter world. That way could be possible that it may have happened canonically, but not certainly. As I said in the final chapter of the fic, "They were obviated". Meaning, the only people left to have known what had happened or the existence of Anthony and Raegan would be Remus and Sirius. Of course, a deal was made to never mention them again. Raegan, being respected amongst the Marauders, both Remus and Sirius value their wishes and do not speak of them to anyone.
By leaving the impact of my OC insert story open-ended and known only to a few key characters, it maintains the integrity of the Harry Potter universe while still allowing my fanfic to exist as a separate narrative within that world. This approach gives you guys the freedom to interpret the connections and consequences of my story in your own way.
Overall, I hope you enjoyed my attempt at merging my OC insert with the existing canon.184Please respect copyright.PENANAQziarbbrIS

(Disclaimer: This is a goofy headcanon FOR HP haha. Don't take it too seriously because I won't even mention Harry Potter stuff in the original. I don't claim HP as my own. The HP universe will be a thing of the past, never mentioned or talked about. Again, this is just an oddly "detailed" backstory for "Mr. Weathers and Blackthorn" that is 100% canon for my setting but is a headcanon in the HP. Yes, they hopped universes, but they won't specify where.)
Stay tuned for the original work!184Please respect copyright.PENANA9ca0ffny8z
