1. Notes and Disclaimers

Visions of Darkness: Year One

A/N: I decided to go ahead and have the first chapter in this fic be my disclaimer and author's notes page. Look here for any updates by me, and just random ramblings. The disclaimer here applies for all future chapters.

PLEASE note that this series IS an A/U (Alternate Universe) fanfiction, and does not abide by potterverse, so DO NOT flame me because you are confused and did not bother to read this.

***

Standard Disclaimer: Harry Potter and Co. owned by J.K. Rowling, and not myself. Any of the people or places that you recognize from the books do not belong to me (duh). Iris Al Simma, everyone's favourite Egyptian (*wink*) belongs to me, and I guard her with all my being for she is my brainchild.

Standard Summary: Lily Potter met an interesting Egyptian girl through a school letter-exchange eight years before she and her husband died via the Avada Kedavra. The two women became close friends, and, on an impulse, she named Iris her baby Harry's godmother, just six months before Harry was orphaned. Instead of going to live with his aunt and uncle, he went to his godmother, and grew up knowing exactly what he was. Now, it is time for him to go to Hogwarts, in a foreign country, thousands of miles away from everything he holds dear…

Chapter 1 Posted

Much thanks to my lovely BETA, Laura, for fixing all my… issues with the first chapter of this fic. As soon as I get the URL for her Author Page, it will be up here so you can all go read her lovely fic (which I also happen to be BETA'ing). Hint Hint. Thanks Laura!

And also, to the lovely Aieshya, or, as I fondly call my dear friend, Miss A, just because she wrote a wonderful story which I began to BETA for her, and earned a wonderful friend in the process.

Strega Brava, you, my dear, write the loveliest Sev/Hermione stories, and you have to be mentioned just for that. Everyone, go read them.

*hugs*

Sorry about the long wait, everyone.

As always, thanks to Laura for BETA'ing. Unfortunately, she cannot BETA after this chapter, so if you are interested, please contact me. No former experience needed, though it would be nice =).

Oh, and I posted parts 1 and 2 of this to Schnoogle yesterday. Fear not, my friends, all of you here will see it before Schnooglers do. *hugs*
