Until she was nine, Emily grew up with her cousin at Lestrange Manor in France.
Back then, her biggest worries were probably why maman and papa never had time to play with her, and how to escape the tutors with her cousin, who had been raised as the heir since childhood.
When she was nine, her father took her to his hometown.
China was "home," as her father called it. Her grandparents lived there, along with a huge number of relatives whose names she couldn't even remember, and people speaking dialects she couldn't fully understand.
France was her mother's home. It had the manor she knew, the familiar things she loved, and Cori, the older brother who had been by her side for as long as she could remember.
When she was eleven, she moved to England with her parents. It was a place where her father's business had yet to gain a foothold. At first, the British wizards thought they were just an ordinary foreign wizarding family who had recently moved there. But soon, they would discover that
this foreign family named Zhang was not as simple as they seemed.
September 1, 1971.
Like every other eleven-year-old witch and wizard, Emily passed through Platform Nine and Three-Quarters and boarded the train to Hogwarts. There, for the first time, she would leave her family's world behind and meet people who didn't know what the name Zhang meant or what Lestrange meant.
Languages, cultures, and radically different magical traditions.
Houses, classes, pranks, and the years of youth before war arrived.
And friendship, family, first love, loss, and the love that entered her life in different forms over the long years.
Theme: Exploring love, friendship, and family in the age that belongs to them.
Great, I found a treasure! I will follow it carefully, thank you for the great article!
It's so touching. The emotional line is stable and improving. I'm so hopeful.
Two little bitter gourds, one is thinking about James and the other is thinking about Lily.
Dear readers, the post-war chapter is a little sad. If you read it normally, it actually follows Emily for a period of time after the war, and then the school days are flashbacks. The student days at Hogwarts are more everyday, a little funny, a little sweet, and a little sad. But the closer we get to Voldemort's fall, the more tragic the story becomes. So it's completely ok to start reading from the first volume, which is when you are in first grade, but there is no memory of the dream, but it is not too cruel to read in this order. I hope everyone can have a very good reading experience. What?
I hope the two of them can have a good time 😣
Sorry, I couldn't hold this in [covering face and laughing]
Laughing to death, unbanned
