James Wendt stood on the edge. On one side of the edge stood the conventional life of a recent Stanford University graduate making his way in the world of London.

One was definitely a lovely senior who was an adult (at least by Magical law).On the other hand, there was this potions textbook that he'd found in an odd corner that kept getting him into trouble.There was also the fact that he'd given the school's most famous and popular student a really hard time. Not everyone forgave and forgot that.

This time, though, it ended for good when he was greeted at his front door by aliens whom you could have mistaken forarachnamanchula. His wife appealed to the US Auror office for help. That was just the beginning for the wizards ofHogwarts and James Wendt. The trouble was that you didn't know whom to trust. Anyone could becontrolled by the real aliens that infested their victims brains. The one advantages that wizards had was that the aliens didn't know they existed.
