Yes, though my teacher didn't find me until after my family disowned me
because they were afraid of me. I'm still more grateful for it than I can
say. Not everyone is so fortunate.
If Erskine ever graduates, my deal has to do with people who fall through
the cracks. Who don't get the training they need to learn control and hold
themselves together.
So you got a glimpse of what you should have had. There's no changing the
past without changing who you are, but it's hard having your face
shoved into the possibilities of how things could have turned out
differently. I'm sorry, Credence.

...Yes.
About - ninety years in my future. I was never meant to go to Hogwarts, but there's another school in America.
