Disclaimer: No, as much as I wish I did, I do not own the Harry Potter series. I love JK and I think she's truly amazing. This is a story about the next generation. I will try to use what JK has revealed, but the majority of what happens is what I have created, mainly because there isn't too much to go on. If I take an idea from somewhere; I will always write the source and who it belongs to. I don't mind people using what I write as inspiration, but please don't re-post my work word for word etc, and please credit it properly.

A/N: So I'm sorry that the 'first chapter' is in fact an author's note. Most people will just ignore this, I know I might do if it were me looking here, but please stick with this. I plan to create a set of 7 series to illustrate the next generation's journey through Hogwarts. I don't think that the next gen is as good the marauder era or the standard HP set, so my aim with this series is to make it far more interesting than it would normally be.

While own of my goals is to mimic our Queen's writing style; creating new objects, ideas, characters and 7 books worth of plot, I also plan to make it captivating for a wide variety of people. Between chapters, I may post additional chapters (some of which are why there is an M rating on this fic) and they will be marked as additional. In those you will find canon, non-canon and slash pairings. I don't ship them but for anyone that does, I hope it makes the story worth reading. If you don't like, don't read, but if you want bonus info, what happens to the characters you know and love, then do read the chapters.

I'm hoping to make this story about 60 chapters long, I could always dream so don't expect it to end up that long, then I will probably take a break and write some other fiction before returning to this. If I can achieve more than 100 reviews for this story, I will promise to complete all 7 stories and not leave you on a cliffie with just the one.

I have a website which I am setting up that will allow you to get extra information about the story, sneak peaks, related images, fan art, bonus bits and more. The main inspiration I had for writing this story was to bring Severus Snape back to life and to give him a second chance. If you want my opinion on a ship, please review this chapter, or if you have anything else you want to ask or say for that matter. I may tell you to look at my profile; but that's only if you're asking about my thoughts on Hermione pairings or why my opinion of Snape is what it is.

Preview of what is to happen: I'm just going to state now; I have no real idea as to what's going to happen between the main events I'm going to list, I just know roughly what's going to happen. So to start off; I know that the first story is going to be called Albus Potter and The Phoenix Sonnet. As some may have guessed, correctly, Fawks returns to serve Al.

My friend (I mention her more in my profile) wants her main story to be set where Fawks comes back to serve the daughter of Bellatrix and Voldemort as she spies as Snape did as a child during the Harry Potter era. I think it's a good plot line, but it doesn't quite fit together in every sense. I still love her writing and am really looking forward to when she publishes it!

But back to the story. It will start off at the end of the wizarding war and what happens, then a switch to Dudley Dursley etc., then to the birth of Albus, not going to say any more because you'll see in the first few chapters. After that point, you will skip to the birth of Albus Potter, and after that, to a few months before September the 1st. In this fic, I aim to present you with how Albus Potter showed, many-a-time, that he knew when to stop and that he was loyal to Hogwarts, how the older generations are trying to support the new one in a world where they couldn't connect, properly, with anyone who wasn't their age, just because they, most of them at least, didn't know the true meaning of war, how much it takes from you, and why they are constantly being tutored about how powerful Voldemort was etc.

None of the characters that I have created are going to be cloned from existing ones, but there may be some similarities. Lily is going to be a mixture of Lily (nee) Evans, Luna (nee) Lovegood and Remus Lupin. Her character is there to make Severus remember what he did, to argue passionately and logically with those who attack him, to locate the problems and some of the reasons behind them, therefore, how to solve them, but mostly, to forgive Severus, and to make him realize that what he needed in terms of support, why he latched onto Lily, and why he no longer needed to live for someone else, only himself.

Rose is going to be a more robust Lily (nee) Evans, Ron Weasley and her own character. She is to be there for Al, like Hermione was there for Harry, without there being anything more. In this story though, Al has grown up with the fame and knows what it's like, he therefore become quiet (which is quite surprising at first (latest you see the reasons), his brother James just gets an ego boost) and Rose is there to show him that yes he can be a real hero. Lily may be the forgiving one, but she wasn't the right person to help Al. Not because she was his sister, but because he needed to be pushed into the pool and told to swim, instead of persuaded to do something. So yes, yes, Al and his friends go on an adventure and Rose is there to be the support, much like Ron, but her character is far more like Hermione, without being booky.

So I'm running off character topic, I fail at knowing when to start a new paragraph. I'll try to stay on course from now on.

I know I'm waffling on a little, but you see I don't want to give much away about PS. The main events occur in the ones after that, so in the least amount of words possible, I'll give you a brief outline of the summary of the whole series. Harry Potter takes a short quest to find the missing resurrection stone, then he gifts the the three hallows to his children. He gives Lily the stone, Al – the wand, and James – the cloak. Good old Hermione finally looks through Snape's personal collection of books (which he left to her in his last will and testimony) and finds that there was a procedure which allowed the master of death to shed his power and give it to his children, this usually would only ever occur at the and of the master's life, so the protection received by the power would cause any illnesses, old age or bundled up curses to kill the master instantly, this obviously wasn't the case, so after about two chapters of panicking, everyone is relieved that Harry isn't going to die. They then proceed with that and discover that this event allows one person which has died to come back to life, till he or she dies of another cause. So that basically means that the third book is where the discovery is shared in the press, Snape is chosen to be brought back to life (a great deal of the chapters in the middle will be quite emotional with characters arguing with Snape's portrait, telling him that he deserves to come back, and eventually he gives in) and then finally the last leg will be about how they are nursing him back to health and how a new form of magic appears from his body. One the attacks frenzied reporters attempting to cover the dramatic event. Many try to attack Snape's body, but it turns out; he is covered by a protective shield. More about the new forms of magic will be explained later. After that point, other things will occur, none of the easy to deal with. I have something planned with Runes and an Obelisk but that's it. After that point, one of the muggle-born witches in the school approaches Hermione Granger (who is working as a Transfiguration teacher for a year there) and explains how muggles believe that aliens are appearing more and more often. The wizarding world has always shrugged the events off for obvious reasons, after a great deal of research, it eventually emerges that this IS life on some of the other planets. But the life forms are invisible to muggles, avoid coming into contact with them, and turn out to be magical creatures and people in an alternate universe.

Sorry about this little interlude. But the further I go without this little explanation, the harder it will be to explain.

Rumbleroar is a lion who can talk.

So Aslan in Narnia is Rumbleroar.

If Rumbleroar is in Narnia, then Narnia is Pigfarts.

If Narnia is Pigfarts, then Narnia is on Mars

If Narnia is on Mars, then Muggles have been visiting the world there for a long time.

Continue …

The moon and Pigfarts are the only places easy to live on in the Solar System, so that is why there are only two alternate worlds mentioned in the story. On the moon, the people that control werewolves are mentioned and un-riddled by those visiting the place and on Mars a whole world of people is secluded. The next book brings forth the reality that the brothers of death are forever united. Three can be alive together. Three can be dead together. The brother with the cloak can keep his breath while the others lay in their graves, but two can not live together while one is rotting away into nothing. So the unruliness of the world of the dead suddenly springs forth. Things keep going wrong in the Wizarding world on Earth, and no-one can stop it. This was why no-one meddled with time. This was why death was not to be reversed. Eventually, Lord Voldemort rises through the resurrection stone and the new masters of death are faced with their first challenge. Al is closer to his two best friends, Rose and Scorpius than his brother and sister, but this series is to show that siblings can be as good a friends as any. Soon, with one of the Hallows, Lily starts feeling bad and Severus Snape is the one to care for her. That is the main pairing in the story (will develop later). Voldemort starts using the stone to bring back his followers, but find they always disappear. One day, once the original brother that died for power, had brother people back 7 times, no more, no less, anyone that had been killed or maimed by the original brothers, the new generation of the master of death (Albus, Lily and James) or anyone that had used any one of the three hallows, was brought back to life. At that point, answers were needed but they were nowhere to be found. The 'final battle' (they keep getting these titles but they never end up so final) approaches, and Voldemort starts messing with the secret to werewolves on the moon and starts gathers followers from Mars and out natural satellite. The order attempt to do the same. Those who came back from the dead; they greet the ones they have missed, see the children hey never saw grown up, and because they already accepted their fate, they die to save another from 'AVADA KEDARA!' and place a protective shield of love over anyone who still has the trace on them. This stops them from being killed during the battle, but it still means that I will be forced to kill some characters from the next gen off. Those who lived from the dead say good bye and farewell as they stepped through the curtain of whispering voices in the department of mysteries in the Ministry of Magic. Severus Snape had finally evaluated what he wanted. He wanted a chance. SO he took it. He stayed and he and Lily had a fantastic life together.

IN BETWEEN CHAPTERS: I keep mentioning them don't I? Basically they supply you with extra information, but they may also contain explicit scenes (some dreams with non-canon, canon or slash pairing) and I hope that keeps everyone happy. If you don't read them; you won't know about what happened to your favourite characters, where they went, what they did. How come most muggle-borns turn out to be half-bloods, who had affairs and how muggle traps are used in the final battle, how DNA turns out to be more complicated than already suspected, how muggles nearly started a war against the wizarding community in another country, how Voldemort's daughter became a spy, how she became a Severus Snape, who went to university, etc. There is such a lot to tell. At the bottom of this page you will find a link to my website which has all the relevant info on it, I hope you find it useful.

I haven't put this story down as being cross-cover because it isn't really. I just borrow the characters from other fandoms and mess around with them. As you already cant ell, I'm putting AVPM/S references in here, also there will be a bit of Narnia, Stephanie Plum, NCIS, CSI (haven't decided which types yet), The Mentalist, Percy Jackson, The Hunger Games, Sherlock, Doctor who, Twilight is in here but please don't let that dissuade you. Twihards; I'm sorry it's gonna be a little trashing of Twilight. Nothing bad though.

As I have also said there will be loads and loads of pairings in this, but some of the scenes are as dreams and are mainly there for entertainment and not for the plot.
