#background

Leah and Jay first met in an art gallery. Both artists themselves, it was not long before they fell in love and had their first child, Max Chan-Young. In the year that followed, the couple got married, had their second child Zoë, and faced a marital strife. The reason was that Jay, a Muggle, learned of Leah’s identity as a witch. Although they tried to pretend that things between them were the same as before, it was clear to Leah that her husband no longer loved her. They felt that they had no choice but to get divorced. As if he was glad to be free, Jay left the country immediately and has never visited or wrote to the family since then. Leah changed the children’s surname to her own (though Max kept “Chan” as his middle name) and took care of them as a single parent.

Max attended St. Woboldo’s Primary School since Year 1, where his favourite courses were mathematics and science. He spent much of his free time in recreational broom racing, or practising the violin. His mother was very permissive and tried to support him to do whatever he wanted. Having exhibited magic at a young age, the arrival of “the letter” in the summer before his first year did not come as a surprise. He was thrilled to finally attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!
