Chapter 1: The Birth and Crossover
Chapter 1: The Birth and Crossover
I opened my eyes and looked at the unfamiliar surroundings. I remember dying, getting hit by a speeding car while I was minding my own business and going home after the office. It was nothing special, I got off work, took the metro and just as I get off the station and moved towards the auto area, boom! Got hit by a speeding car.
Dead. I don't remember anything after that. No afterlife meeting with Gods or any entity giving me any magical powers or system or anything. I died and woke up. This makes me feel scared and I started crying. No words could explain the pain I felt before I died. I felt so pathetic knowing I am dying but I can do nothing to change that.
Remembering that experience, I started to cry. I was a grown man in my 30s but nothing prepares for you for dying like that. Nothing.
"Look, Alice. He is so cute," came a male voice.
I tried to see who the man speaking is when I suddenly felt getting lifted in the air and found a strange face coming closer to me. I tried to stop my crying but an unfamiliar face made me cry again.
"Give him to me Frank. You are scaring my child," suddenly I heard a woman's voice. She sounded pleasant and for some reason, I felt a strong connection to her. I tried to look for her but my head just won't move. Curious I checked myself and finally understood the whole scenario. I am an infant, just a baby born now and these strange people are my new parents.
"Alice his eyes look just like yours. Take him, maybe he needs you to feed him now. I wonder what kind of future will he have when we are living in such dark times," said the man, Frank while handing me over to my mother, Alice. My mother gave him an angry look and he shut up immediately.
"Shhhh....calm down my baby. Nothing will happen to you. Your parents are here and we will protect you from everything. You will grow up to be a strong and powerful wizard and no one can hurt you my child," my mother calmly said to me while kissing my cheeks. She kept caressing me for a long time before I could calm down.
The intimacy, the love, finally made me stop crying. I know I died and maybe this is my new life. I still have loving parents.

In my last life, my parents passed away after I got out of college. My father had a heart attack and his heart gave up when he was on a flight with my mother. No one could do anything when he passed away and my mother left me soon after due to grief.
Now, I was in the arms of my mother again. Safe. This was the best feeling. Her every touch was all very careful and all filled with love. This was a strange bonding experience for me. My mother started feeding me after some time when my tummy started making some noise and while it felt shameful for a few minutes, I knew I am her baby. I let go of any stupid moral dilemma, had my fill and felt better. I tried to hold her as tightly as possible before all the ordeal took a toll on me. My eyes felt heavy and I wanted to sleep.
My mother handed me over to the mid-wife and she covered me in the blanket.
"Come little boy, it's time for you to sleep and have wonderful dreams," the lady said and wrapped me in a blanket. Then she put me down in a small wooden cradle. The blanket had my mother's smell and it somehow soothed my emotions.
I wanted to wrap myself more tightly in that blanket. After I had that thought, I felt a very strange sensation throughout myself. It was like someone tickling me and I enjoyed the process. Then the blanket followed my thoughts and magically wrapped around me.
"How? Was it me? My mother did say I will become a wizard? Am I born in a wizard family? What kind of world is this?" all of sudden, I had a lot of questions for myself.
"Did anyone noticed?", I opened my eyes but nope. No one is in the room.
"Oh, well it seems my new life will be a magical life," were my thoughts before I felt myself getting more sleepy and then I don't remember much after that.
In the following days, I noticed things. Things that confirmed I was born in a wizard family. My parents were not normal humans. They had these wands that they will use to do almost all the things. Also, my father will dissappear for days before I could see him again. My mother and me were the only two people in this family I think. It was a small family but full of love for me. Things went on like this for days and months and I was happily growing up. This new life was not bad after all.

It was a gloomy day. It was raining for the whole week I think. For some reason, my mother decided to hand over to me to my grandmother. I have never met her before so I was curious what kind of lady my granny way.
I felt sad that my mother was going somewhere alone leaving me but I calmed myself thinking that she will soon be coming back. I have known and felt her love for me.
"Oh dear. He is really a chubby boy," were the first words my granny said to me. She was an old lady with a round face and kind smile. I liked her. She lifted me in air magically and my tiny blanket wrapped around me and I floated in air before landing a stroller she had for me.
"That was so cool! No screw that, it was amazing. I was flying, even for a few seconds, it was the really mind blowing amazing!" I started shouting but only the " ba ba ba" sound came from my throat.
"Looks like he enjoyed that. Don't worry dear. I will keep him safe. Now you can go and do whatever you have to. We will soon have brighter days after this darkness and this little kid is a proof of that." My granny said to my parents before my mother kissed me on my cheeks and then she walked away for a few steps before disappearing in thin air with my father.
"They can do that! My parents are really too cool! I love this world!" I shouted on top of my lungs. Maybe my granny heard my baby yelling of "ba ba ya ya" and she looked at me lovingly.
"Let's go my little longbottom. You mom and dad will soon back," my granny said while moving my stroller but these words, these words took away all the happiness and excitement I was feeling.
'A wizard family named Longbottom, leaving a child with his granny and parents going somewhere in dark times!' I connected all these clues and panic and fear took over me. I started shouting and crying for my parents. I wanted to desperately stop my parents or bring them back but I could do nothing.
"Shhh.... now now, don't cry dear. Nothing will happen to them," my granny said it to me but even without knowing the future for my parents, her voice was hardly confident.
"No granny stop them. Bellatrix is coming for them. Stop them granny!" I kept shouting but all that came out of my mouth was "ba ba ya ya ba!"
My granny picked her wand and then instead of helping me or doing something to stop my parents she magically turned a piece of cloth into a baby nipple and put it into my mouth forcefully.
"Jesus granny! What are you doing?" I started shouting but realising that she can never understand what I am trying to say I felt hopeless. I felt silent. Picking myself and sitting in the stroller, I looked where my mother disappeared with my father.
"Bellatrix. If you did anything to my mother, if you ever hurt my parents, I will end you. I will end all of you," I shouted with all of my energy.
The magical tickling appeared again and suddenly a powerful energy blast came from my body. My granny managed to cast a shield to protect herself but I did manage to do a lot of damage.
Before I could say or feel anything, I fell asleep again.
