Hello readers! Before you begin reading this fanfiction, I feel I should warn you of some things before you start.
If you are against modifying some (just a couple of things) of the Twilight lore, especially tweaks to some of the characters' backstories, then I would recommend you don't read this story. While in the canon universe Alice is 'soul-mates' and married with/to Jasper Hale, the same cannot be said in this story.
If you couldn't tell by the pairing, the main romance in this fiction is Harry Potter/Alice Cullen. As I don't want to bash the crap out of Jasper to make him out to be a hate-worthy jackass in order to facilitate the pairing, having him in more of a platonic relationship with Alice seemed more appropriate. Other than that, there really isn't that much of the Twilight lore that I'll change. Interactions between all characters will be slightly different due to Harry's presence and influence, but as one could probably already tell: this story is rather AU.
Bell will still be Edward's 'singer', and many of the same problems and events throughout the trilogy will occur, but the speed of the outcomes and the methods used to achieve them will be different thanks to the presence of magic. This is a Harry Potter/Twilight crossover people, and I'll be trying to meld the two worlds as best I can – though this story will mostly take place in the Twilight timeline.
As for the Harry Potter groupies, here's your warnings. From the Harry Potter books, I don't like Dumbledore very much. From the movie The Crimes of Grindelwald, I love him – Jude Law being a very inspired choice in my mind. But as to his handling of Harry? No. Harry, even in the movies for kids was treated no better than a slave by the Dursleys. That Dumbledore admitted to knowing this after revealing the prophesy 'ground my gears'.
So, his brief appearance will not be flattering to him at all, you have been warned.
Next, Hermione Granger. Now, I'm a H/Hr shipper big time, but only in cases where she wizens up, drops the authority worship, and becomes a bit less pushy. I've written several H/Hr fics, several unpublished, and I love the pairing, seriously… but Hermione's going to get a bad wrap in this, sorry folks. Her annoying/undesirable traits such as 'books are always right' and 'authority trumps all' and 'I'm always right' and… well all of that is going to be lampooned.
Ron will be a bit sketchy after discovering some things about Harry, but he'll come around. Lovers of canon pairings will be woefully disappointed – capisci? Ministry of magic? Thoroughly slammed. American Ministry of Magic? Just as bigoted as the British.
Last warning: if you like stories that are small and localised (like how in Harry Potter it was Britain and that was it), this story isn't for you. Harry's actions will bring about actual, wide-spread change to the world as a whole in this story (at least that's the plan). Small actions will cause tsunamis, etc.
So, if all of the above doesn't send you into a fit of rage, an intense urge to send me a flame that could give Satan sunburn, or leave you in the corner of your room rocking back and forth repeating some inane phrase over and over…
Enjoy.
Kenneth
