It is true, I have adopted Prodigy Child.
We are going to keep the original chapters up on her profile, until I have a chance to work with her sister to move them. The original Goddess-Vampire passed away and her sister took over the profile. May God grant her blessed repose and her memory be eternal.

For Now, I am going to continue from Chapter 5:
Prologue 1:
Let's rewind a bit. First, you may be wondering how the scientists of Eureka have taken the existence of magic so well. Well, this chapter explains that or begins to:
Jack was sitting in his office, thinking. Contrary to popular opinion, he did think about things. He may not be a genius like Henry, Fargo, Allison or everyone else around him, but that did not mean he did not think. Right now he was thinking about Harry, his adopted son, and how everyone just accepted that he had magic.
Flashback
"Well, he's magical. He can do magic and is a wizard. His parents were a witch and a wizard and were killed by an evil wizard whom they fought against over in England. There is a whole wizarding world hidden from our world," said Jack, cringing and waiting for Allison to berate him for being foolish and silly.
She merely raised an eyebrow and said, "Really?" Jack nodded.
"Oh, goodness, we haven't had such a young magical child in Eureka in a while. I'll have to tell Jacob. We'll have to update the security protocols. You should have told me sooner," said Allison.
"Ally, why are you so accepting of Harry having magic and magic existing?" asked Jack.
"Well, there is a reason. I will have someone explain it to you as soon as I update your security clearance. You should be updated by noon," said Allison as she left the bunker. Jack just stood there looking more confused and dumfounded than usual.
End Flashback
Then Vincent of all people walked into his office.
"Vincent, what's wrong?" asked Carter, starting to panic a tiny bit. Vincent never left the Cafe Diem; as far as Carter knew, he had an apartment above the restaurant.
"Well, Jack, I've come to tell you about Eureka-M division," said Vincent.
"M Division?" asked Carter.
"Yes. You see, It's about Harry and, well, my Brother is Jacob, and is the Wizard in charge of Eureka-M. I'm a sq...squib. My brother and I are...we've never been very close, and after Mom was killed by You-Know-Who, well..." said Vincent
"I'm sorry, You-Know-Who?" asked Carter, then he thought about it, and asked, "Oh, you mean that Lord Voldemort?"
Vincent flinched. "Well, yes. He killed our mom. I don't know where Dad is, I haven't heard from him in a while, and Jacob...he and I made up at Mom's funeral. So, Eureka-M, is our division dealing with magic. Jacob, my older brother, is in charge of Division-M, much like Allison is in charge of Global Dynamics. They experiment with Magic and have their own security. They have never called up because most of the magic is nullified by their anti-magic barrier. It prevents the magic from interfering with the technology and vice versa. Anyway, I just thought I would tell you that you should schedule a meeting with Jacob. Oh and you'll need to meet Serena. She's my older sister and is in charge of Division-M3. She's also in charge of security coordination," said Vincent, "I will get you a special pair of mundane-viewing goggles. They allow mundanes to see magic."
Vincent got up and left. Even though he and his brother made up, they weren't as close as they were before it came out that Vincent was a squib. His brother was disappointed. This led to a huge argument and Vincent left the family. He was sent to live with his uncle in America. That was scary for an 11 year old kid to just move because he was different. And his uncle was the most awesome man; he was a genius at potions, and came to America because Great Britain would not let squibs study anything. So, when his uncle finished his college at Oxford, he moved to America and got a job teaching Chemistry. It just so happened that his boss was a squib and introduced him to several key potions masters, and he studied potions from a chemistry stand point, because they needed someone who had a mundane view. Eventually he was hired by the American Council of Magic as an Assistant Potions Master in Research and developed several potions. It is what helped Vincent decide on Molecular Gastronomy as a career. He had a Mastery in Potions as well and a potions lab under his cafe. He made almost all the potions for Eureka Division M - Section P.
Then his brother moved to America, to Eureka Division M. They had another huge fight because up until then, Vincent had been studying both Molecular Gastronomy and Potions. He was already at Journeyman level. Then, news came that their mother died, at the hands of Lord Voldemort. They made up at her funeral. They would never be close. He agreed to give Vincent a chance to prove his potions prowess, and was shocked when he was almost as good as Severus Snape. So Vincent was made Potions Brewer for Division M, Section P
Okay there you have it. An explanation about why Allison et al are so accepting of magic. It is because they already knew about it. Eureka Division M is like the Department of Mysteries for Great Britain. They do 80% of the research in America. The other 20% is done by various entities. Eureka Division M consists of the best of the best. To make the comparison, they consist of the best Ravenclaws, Slytherins and Hufflepuffs. Gryffindors aren't really suited for research and development so there are only one or two who, like Hermione, have shown academic prowess. They are some of the better researchers because they are more likely to think outside of the book than a Ravenclaw, try a new approach and they do appreciate hard work. So there you have it. Eureka acceptance of Magic. I will be working with Goddess-Vampire over the next month or so to migrate this story to my profile. This is just a prologue chapter. There is more to come and I will be taking the story from here. I hope I can do a good job.
