Author's Notes:
This is one of those Marauders-read-the-Harry-Potter-books stories, only much more unconventional (for reasons that will shortly become clear). Obviously, this will cause the Marauders to go a bit off the beaten path, so for this reason I'm warning for AU.
Any and all reviews are appreciated. Thanks to Heather for the beta.
Chapter Summary: A note from the future? Oh, please.
Harry's Note: Book 1
Dear Lily and James,
I know you're probably very confused by the appearance of this book. Believe me, I never thought it would come to this, but there has been too much death and destruction. I had to do something.
This is not a joke. I really am your son from the future, at least in your perspective. You probably won't believe me at first, but please, just bear with me and keep reading. It will all make sense eventually.
The book you now hold in your hands – I've sent a copy to each of you – is an autobiographical account of my first year at Hogwarts and the trials I had to go through. Each of the six succeeding books will contain more of the puzzle. I tried to make it entertaining and readable. Hopefully you won't give up on me.
Your fate, and the fate of the wizarding world, depends on your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Harry Potter
