A Life of Magic
Introduction
Everyone always talks about the Gryffindor and Slytherin houses. Gryffindor this, Slytherin that. No one ever says anything about the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw houses. I do, though. I'm a Ravenclaw, born and raised. We're just as good as the 'popular' houses. Each and every house has its own ups and downs. Ravenclaw is known for the ready-minded seekers of knowledge, Gryffindor for the brave at heart, Hufflepuff for the just and loyal, and Slytherin for cunning folk who will do anything to achieve their ends. Each person has their own qualities that put them in a house. Saying one is better than another is almost like saying the individuals in it are better. Dumbledore wouldn't like that, now would he?
This is merely a first hand account of a tale from a Ravenclaw's point of view (POV, I've heard). I now know why J.K. Rowling only writes the perspective of a single house at a time… It isn't exactly easy, you know. My goal was to do the POV from each house, but that idea flew out the window almost a page into the story.
This tale is the story of my life, Arianna Skydancer, the (former) Princess of Balinor. If you know anything about me, it is that I hate being treated as a princess. That is why I left home and traveled to the present on new earth. This guy named Potter (not Harry, mind you, Potter Showers) contacted me and offered me a job and well, here I am!
Prologue
When Hogwarts first began, there had to have been a headmaster/headmistress. The Heads of Houses would never have been able to decide who would 'rule the school.' So, naturally, they would have had to hire one.
There is a long forgotten legend at Hogwarts that one day, this headmistress would return. The woman the four Heads had chosen could use the highest level spells with barely any effort. She was a true legend. Her name? Kikyo Skydancer.
No one could guess how she would return, much less when. Through time and death? Through generation? It was anyone's guess.
Author's Note: Hi! I'm obviously new at this ( not writing, fanfiction), but I really hope you like my cross-over. This one is one of the tamer ones in numbers of different shows, but you just wait and see. I'm afraid to count some of them, there's so many. Anyway, as my bio says, perfectionistism is not a gift, it is a curse. How many of you out there know what I'm talking about? Anyway, this story is a cross-over of Harry Potter, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Inu-Yasha, and Mary Stanton's Unicorns of Balinor. (I think that's it, but if there's more, feel free to alert me, the perfectionist disease will take over and fix it.)
A major thing to remember if you plan on reading this entire story and possibly the sequel that I am already writing, I DON'T HAVE INTERNET. If you forget everything else about me, this is what you must remember. This will be my excuse for everything, along with blaming my editor, Totally Wicked hey! eep! Ari runs away from TW ahem Okay, I just realized something. This is probably the longest author's note in the history of fanfiction. I told you, perfectionistism is going to take over the world! (I blame this long note on this cruel and inhumane disease, so please don't hurt me… doubt if half of you read it anyway…)
On a more cheerful note, let's begin, shall we?
