Out of the night

by Hawkeyes dark past

No matter should Harry Potter succeed or fail against the dark lord the world would go on unchanged. Hundreds of thousands different lines of fates said so. But one line was different, it would change the world for better or worse is unknown. In the end it only took that one line and this is that story.

1. Authors notes

If you are saving a copy of Out of the Night for your records, or to share with others in some form, PLEASE INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE:

Out of the Night was a Harry Potter fan fiction written by Raining Ink. This fic has been officially abandoned by its author. Obviously, Raining Ink claims no right to characters, settings, concepts, etc… recognizable as belonging to J.K. Rowling or anyone else even vaguely connected with the Harry Potter franchise. However, many other aspects of the story are original to this fic. Fellow fan fiction authors who wish to make use of these concepts/world building/story details/etc… are welcome to do so, provided that they DO NOT in any way profit financially from the use of said ideas. Fan fiction authors wishing to write a continuation of the story are welcome to do so, provided that they DO NOT in any way profit financially from said continuation. Basically, don't use anything that might belong to Raining Ink to make yourself money, mmmkay?

Additionally, Raining Ink requests that continuations of this fic remain accessible to a broad juvenile audience. In other words, please don't use Out of the Night's world or characters to write thinly veiled pornography.

Raining Ink still lurks around the internet and may occasionally Google her own nom de plume. It would be nice if you credited her for any borrowed concepts so that she might one day bump into your work.

If you have any questions, or you'd just like to vent, it will still be possible to contact Raining Ink through her account at for some time.

NEW Authors Note: This was my first ever/only long fan fic. Thank you so very very much for all of you who read, reviewed, offered constructive criticism, or shared this with your friends. It has meant so much to me to be part of a great community of readers and writers. It's time for me now to move on and focus all of my attentions on telling my own story, instead of annexing JK Rowling's. I hate to leave, but I really need to. Maybe one day you'll pick up a book in a shop and read a story that touches you, and you'll wonder if I wrote it. Maybe I will have. Thank you for being here. Thank you for being awesome.

Disclaimer: Anything that JK Rowling thought up in books 1-7 (or Warner Bros. for the movies) isn't mine. The rest of it is, but I'll admit to being influenced by the large amounts of fan fiction I've read. If you think I've stolen something from another story, let me know. Plagiarizing is NOT my intention.

Sept. 4, 2010 Revision: I am in the process of cleaning up some minor mistakes and reinserting the section breaks that took out. If you're re-reading or just starting this fic, and you find mistakes, do let me know so that I can correct them. I don't use a beta, so it's helpful. As always before, reviews and insights are deeply appreciated.

-Break-

To start off with I am planning on continuing this story, as noted above I'm not the original author of this story that credit goes to Raining Ink. As she states above she has no problems with this long as she gets her credit and the above notes are posted. Now onto my own notices about this story :

Yes I am finishing this story.

I will be rewriting some aspects of this story to fit my own vision.

Yes that means I will be changing some things in the original story as I go along. But I decided to inform ahead of time so those that read the original will hopefully understand.

On that note I hope you enjoy and yes this is my first story.
