Title: The Lion King...The Magical Way

Rating: PG-13

Pairing(s): uhm..let's see. JP/LP, maybe Simba/Nala, maybe Sirius/Remus

Warning(s): uhm...not many. Slash may appear at the end, there will be minor violence and angst.

Note(s): NOTES WILL BE AT END OF PROLOGUE!

Summary: Basically the Lion King with Harry Potter characters as the lions. It will be different as the Lions will be magical beasts, as will most of the animals. Some events will be altered, or will be cut out, or will be done in greater detail! Most of the characters were fit in, so I am sorry if I left any out.

From the day we arrive on the planet

And blinking, step into the sun

There's more to see than can ever be seen

More to do than can ever be done

There's far too much to take in here

More to find than can ever be found

But the sun rolling high

Through the sapphire sky

Keeps great and small on the endless round

The great King lifted his head and felt the breeze ruffle through his long mane. He sighed in pleasure as his mate walked slowly up to him, a small furry body held lightly between her jaws.

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time James." She said as she lay down, cradling the cub in her arms. James nodded and smiled as their small cub yawned.

"Here come the animals." James said softly and they watched as the animals of the Serengeti filed towards Pride Rock, their home. Along with them came a sleek black cat, smaller than the lions yet just as proud.

"My King, I am happy for you." The cat bowed once he climbed up the large rock.

"Thank you Severus. How have you been faring?" The two males engaged in idle chitchat as they waited for their oldest friend to arrive.

And soon he did, climbing up with as much dignity as a baboon could muster. The other animals bowed to him in respect.

"Ah James! And Lily!" The baboon smiled. He hugged the two lions. Lily smiled as the baboon picked up their cub.

"It's great to see you Albus." Lily said as he cradled the cub. "I'm glad you could make it."

"I wouldn't miss this for the world." He replied as he broke open a coconut and smeared some of the juice on the cub's head.

He then sprinkled some sand onto the young one and smiled as he sneezed. The animals below silenced themselves as Albus turned and thrust the little cub into the sky...

It's the Circle of Life

And it moves us all

Through despair and hope

Through faith and love

Till we find our place

On the path unwinding

In the Circle

The Circle of Life

Okay, here we go. Obviously this wont be the same as The Lion King. The songs probably wont all be in here, and they might not be complete...like this one.

For those who get confused, here is a list of characters and who they are in my fic:

Rafiki is Dumbledore

Simba is Simba

Nala is Nala

Mufasa is James

Sarabi is Lily

Scar is Tom (Voldemort)

Timon is Remus

Pumbaa is Sirius

Let me note that these are the main characters. I will use other Harry Potter names as lionesses and hyenas. Also note that there is no Zazu. Sevvie is taking his place as a wild magical cat. All of these animals are magical in a sense, so they will have odd abilities.

Another note.... Remus and Sirius are not going to be a meerkat and warthog!!! That would just be wrong. You'll see what they are when I put them in the story.

And yet another note.... I DO PLAN ON MAKING A SEQUEL TO MY OTHER FIC. I just want to work on this one first.
