[Harry Potter fanfiction + the male and female leads of Bridge to Terabithia + Ilvermorny, the American school of magic + no System + lots of original content]
In the dreary little town of Lark Creek, Virginia, Jesse Aarons is like a shadow in his own home. His parents toil to make ends meet, his four sisters’ noise drowns him out, and his life is a faded working-class tableau steeped in the oppressive smell of rust and insignificance.
Then Leslie Burke bursts into his world like a ray of sunshine through the gloom. This unconventional transfer student becomes his only close friend, and perhaps… something more than a friendship. The summer they turn eleven, a letter of acceptance from Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry tears apart the ordinary lives they had known.
The gates of the ancient castle swing open to welcome them, but what awaits is more than spells and magical creatures. Deep beneath the Aarons bloodline, dark echoes stir: the bloody crimes of the Scourers before the founding of America, the terrifying shadow of the first Dark Lord, Gellert Grindelwald, and… the shameful secret of Jesse’s grandfather, a fanatical follower.
A terrible truth comes to light: “Your grandfather devoted his life to Grindelwald, searching for the legendary Deathly Hallows: the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone, and the Invisibility Cloak. He never managed to collect all three, but he discovered… a ‘fourth one’ that should not exist.” The power and curse it holds far exceed anything his predecessors could have imagined, and now it is quietly entwining itself with Jesse’s fate.
Restore the character, very nice
