*POP*
Alexander and now redhead Lyanna apparated into the ship.
"This kind of travel is so convenient. I can't believe we just traveled more than half of Westeros in a blink." She exclaimed.
"These are the wonders of magic. Just wait for the changes I am going to bring to the north. You won't even be able to recognize it." Alexander bragged.
"It's really hard to imagine that my own uncle, on whose lap I played as a child, is a god." She said.
"Haha, well, there's not much I can do to make it easier to accept. Though I think you will be happy to see someone. Follow me," Alexander said and headed to Elina(Elia's) room.
Lyanna followed him. Alexander knocked on the door. Small footsteps sounded and a little girl opened the door.
"Grandpaaa..." She happily called.
Alexander swiftly picked her up, his face full of radiating smiles. He really liked spending time with children because they are pure and untainted by the darkness and cruelness of the world. They say what they think and do what they want.
"What's my Rina up to, ha?" He asked.
"Oh, I was playing with Eric. I am the mother and he's my baby. Come, play with me," she happily said.
Alexander went to the little Eric(Aegon). Lyanna also followed him.
"Hey, Rina. Meet big sister Anna here," Alexander said. He was lazy with the names so he just removed L and Y from Lyanna's name.
Rina(Rhaenys) cheerfully looked at Lyanna. Seemingly found a new person to play with.
Elia soon joined them and looked at him.
"Elina, meet Anna. If you two can recognize each other, I'll show you magic," he said.
"Yaay, magic. Show me magic" Rina jumped around.
Both of them looked at each other for a minute or two and finally admitted defeat. But Alexander still showed the magic.
"Alright, now just watch" Alexander waved his hand and Lyanna, Elia and her kids changed back to their original look for 5 seconds.

Elina and Anna's mouth were wide open in shock. A moment later they had tears in their eyes and tightly hugged each other.
They both asked each other the same question at the same time.
""HOW""
"Well, ladies. I am going to take Rina out now. You two can talk. Anna, take this contract and tell her everything after signing it. If she's to live with us, we can't hide it forever." Alexander handed her a magic contract. Then he picked up Rina and went to the deck.
He didn't really care about revealing his identity as removing or altering memories was simple to him. He just didn't like doing it that much. Looking at people's memories, their whole life was not a very good experience.
On the deck, Rina sat on Alexander's shoulders with her legs around his neck and looked at the coastline. She had also asked for a pair of sunglasses like his and Alexander happily conjured them for her. She kept on pointing at directions and asked questions.
Later Alexander had Rina also sign a contract with her mother's agreement. The contract was made to protect her. It stated that if someone with I'll intention or someone who hadn't signed a magic contract forcefully asks her about Alexander's magic or something related to him, then she would be portkeyed to Alexander's arms. Alexander had made a pretty locket/portkey for her which had disillusionment from thieves and it wasn't removable.
He also gave one to Elina, Anna and Eric too. If some intended harm came to them they'd be portkeyed to a secret safe room he was going to make under Winterfell. Inside the room will be a means to contact him or someone else from the Stark family. Elina and Anna could control it but Eric and Rina's were automatic.
...
By the afternoon, they had arrived at White Harbor with the help of his magic making the ship go faster.
"Oh look. Sandy beach" Rina loudly pointed and stood up on Alexander's shoulders. She held his hair tightly. She must have never left the Red Keep and only heard about the beaches of the Dorne from her mother.
"Haha... let's go there then," he said and jumped from the ship. The ship was heading towards the harbor and the beach was just beside it. He landed perfectly with Rina still on his back. After letting her play there to her heart's content, they left for Winterfell.

Lord Manderly wanted them to stay but he denied saying that soon they'll meet in Winterfell. Alexander was going to call the Lord's meeting.
They were supposed to take Horses to get to Winterfell from there as the river was too narrow and dangerous, but Alexander Used Niko's magic phone and used a cheat. Out of nowhere, a speed boat came in front of them. It was Jetmax.
Rina jumped in excitement. Not for the boat but for magic.
"Alright, take a seat. We'll be in Winterfell before evening." Alexander said and jumped to the pilot seat.
Lyanna looked at the strange boat and asked, "Is it really that fast?"
"Yes, it can go at 150 kilometers an hour (92mph)" he said, surprising them.
They took their seats and he started the engine. It used fossil fuel, but Alexander was going to introduce some other environment-friendly alternatives to the world. He also didn't want to make the world too dependent on his magic as he would one day leave.
The world also didn't have good powerful wizards like Potterverse. Hence, technological advancements were more preferred. Still, some things like Potioneering and simple Rune making could be learned by normal humans.
The engine roared and they moved into the river. Alexander started to use his magic in disillusionment for outsiders and made the river wider and deeper. Enough for 3 small ships to travel side by side. He did it all the way till the division of the river. From there he took a left, towards the Wolfswood. It had the nearest point in the river to Winterfell.
After reaching the location, Alexander used his magic to make a nice looking dock and a big shed for the boat. It was going to be the Stark family's personal dock. His luxury yacht would also be parked here later.
From there, Alexander took out 3 horses. Dobby was initially with them but Anna(Lyanna) had started to worry about Jon too much, so Dobby went as extra safety.
Originally there was no road there but Alexander stayed in the lead and paved a nice off-road track. Later everything would be made permanent when he will start constructing permanent asphalt roads. Their journey was fast and smooth. Giggles of Rina made it even better.
Soon they arrive at the gates of the humongous black castle, which didn't look as majestic due to overdue repairs. Didn't matter anymore though, he was going to make it the world's most magnificent castle that even the Taj Mahal would shy away.
