A/N: This is the actual summary that I wanted to put up, but of course it wouldn't let me because it was too long. So I figured I'd just put it here.
"Continues from where the epilogue left off. Centers around the Potter and Weasley kids' adventures at school, but also involves a highly unusual witch with an interesting story of her own. The events that follow force the wizarding world, which is now closer to the muggles than ever before, to ask a question: Where did magic come from; what is the Wizard Genesis?"
So, right. This is another "Next Generation" story. But when I stated it, I promised myself it wouldn't be a "the-death-eaters-are-back-and-now-their-after-everyone" plot, you know? (Not that I have anything against those- several of the ones I've read were really good- I just think it'd be more entertaining to do something different and creative.) This bit is only the prologue, which is why it's so short. (I'm still making changes to Chapter 1, but it should be up soon). Also the name could change; I haven't decided for sure what to call it yet...
Just two days ago, the life of Sillahya Queen had been terribly average. Yet, in only the past twenty-four hours, she had had the most unimaginable experience of her entire eleven years of existence. Sillahya's mother and father, a middle-aged couple by the names of Anita and Ross, owned an antiques shop in Edinburgh, Scotland. Being in that sort of work, you often came across many sorts of oddities and things. And thus, Sillahya was supplied with an inexhaustible source of entertainment and means to satisfy her curiosity.
It all started when she had been poking around in the back storage room one day and had come across a small gold trinket on a matching chain. There were two outer rings encompassing another circle with an hourglass set into it. The two inner rings rotated, the one with the hourglass from side to side, and the middle one from top to bottom. She was quite fascinated by it, and wondered why someone would make such an unusual piece of jewelry. She asked her mother if she might be able to keep it, utilizing her upcoming birthday as a point of persuasion.
"I don't see why not." Anita Queen replied, while sorting through a box full of dusty, old books. This thrilled Sillahya, although she wasn't entirely sure why it excited her so much. She took the "hour-necklace", as she began to call it, up to her room where she left it on the dresser.
Now, about seven years later, something very strange was happening to her, and it had something to do with that necklace, she was sure of it. She had simply been studying her Latin for school, in the dining room, when suddenly the vase containing irises from her mother's garden, which had been sitting in the center of the table, shattered. She stared at it, and then at the shards of glass on the floor. An extremely odd coincidence, considering she had just spoken the word 'fractus' which was the 4th principle part of the word 'frango' meaning 'I break'."Perhaps if I say the word for 'to repair', it will go back together," Sillahya wondered. She tried it. The vase fixed itself and even returned to its original place, centered on the table. Sillahya had often had fantasies about casting spells and the like, mostly when she was younger when she had been obsessed with fairies, but she had never, absolutely never expected something like that to be possible. But she'd seen it just now, with her very own eyes. Magic...
A/N: Chapter one will be better; it's a lot longer and introduces James and his 3 OC friends, and other characters from the epilogue as well. I imagine there isn't a lot to review yet, unless you're basing it of the summary or just talking about the writing style, but I would appreciate it anyway though. :)
