Hey guys- do please read this author's note.
Yes I know that you've all read this chapter before but bare with me my friends. I have decided, after much deliberation to rewrite this- with a small twist. And while I'm doing this I will be fixing a few other small issues with the format. I will be reposting all of my existing chapters as I finish the edit and will have the next new chapter up as soon as possible.
i: Before the Beginning
There was nothing about the starry sky that cold night, late in the January of 1960 to suggest that strange and mysterious things would soon be happening to an ordinary English family. In the maternity ward of a typical Hospital in Surrey a pair of tiny baby girls lay sleeping in cots beside their mother's hospital bed. As these infant twins slept off their painful entrance to the big wide world, and their first meal, they could not possibly be aware of how different their destinies would be to those of the rest of their family members. Nor could they be aware of the wonderful gifts they had been granted- gifts which would begin to manifest themselves in the next few years; gifts which would inevitably estrange them from the big sister who would dote on them from day one.
Meanwhile, in a Scottish castle which held more than its fair share of secrets, a huge, seemingly leather bound, ledger which resided in a tiny antechamber in one of the towers, the names; Evans, Hazel Karen and Evans, Lily Siobhan had been added to a very select group of boys and girls who would be invited to attend seven years of study at one of the most exclusive boarding schools in the British Isles: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
And now straight on to prologue ii wherein the changes start to happen
Enjoy :)
