Harry Potter and the Test of the Undead
A/N- Hello! Sekyura Watanabe and Irene Piper here! We are The Ladies of Fate and co-authors of the fanfiction you're about to read! But before we begin our story, we thought we'd explain something about our characters. Most of them are Verdonian; human-dog hybrids.
But they're not freaky-looking at all; they're attractive, fun, and friendly, and they can naturally fit in with humans. They come from the fictional planet, Verdonia, composed of eight different Empires. Ocean, Earth, Ice, Wind, Shadow, Mountain, Volcano, and Flame. Personalities and surnames of the Verdonian characters will differ depending on the Empire they come from. For example, Earth Empire characters will usually have Japanese names and are mostly very friendly, while Shadow Empire characters will have either German or Russian names and are often hostile.
Verdonia is rich in legend, the most famous about the millennia-long battle between Alia and Legendaris, Game Keepers and controllers of Fate, Alia being the good and Legendaris being the evil. Legendaris is currently trying to get herself out of Hell with the help of her vampire warriors, who, seeing the fate that awaits them if they stay steeped in their Master's darkness, have plans of their own to escape their own personal Hells.
So, now to start the fifth installment in the "As Fate Would Have It" series…..
Enjoy
Prologue
A young woman sat alone in the dark, watching a game board, as if waiting for something. Hovering over the board were screens, showing scenes from different worlds. 'Not that one,' she thought, waving a screen away, 'I doubt Gandalf would forgive me for sending them back to him. No, not this one either, I've sent them to enough zombie apocalypses already. No, no, not this one; if I send them to another monster-movie style universe, Aretemis would kill me.' This continues for several minutes, the woman's face scrunching up in impatience and indecision. Suddenly, a voice floated behind her. "Mum?" The woman turned around, masking her annoyance at her daughter with a smile. "Yes, Diana?" she asked in an overly sweet voice. "What'cha doin?" Diana asked, plopping on the floor next to her mother. The woman's mouth twitched before she said, "Trying to find a universe you all might actually enjoy for once. After your failure in the last one, I thought it best to send you somewhere fun and easy." The woman pursed her lips as she made several more screens disappear. Diana watched silently for a while before, seeming to dread the outcome, said, "Um, Alia?" Alia, her terrifyingly powerful mother, glanced, irritated, at her once more. "Yes?" Diana, terrified, bowed her head and stuck out her arms, which held a book. "I'm so sorry, mother! Someone knocked a book off the Forbidden Shelf in your library, and when I was putting it back, I kinda- sorta- read it a bit…. I'M SORRY, MOTHER!" Alia's face registered confusion, anger, shock, and sadness in the course of five seconds. She slowly snatched the book out of Diana's arms. The gold letters on top had long since faded away, but with a wave of her hand Alia was staring at the cover of 'Hogwarts, A History'. Alia smiled fondly at it when a sudden light went on in her head. "Girls, come here!" Alia called. Immediately, Alia's four other daughters and one granddaughter appeared beside Diana. "Yes, Alia?" asked Aphrodite, the oldest. "Girls, pack your bags! I've found somewhere new you can stay!" Alia said gleefully. The six girls glanced at each other, confused. "Er- which one?" asked Athena, second oldest. "The same world I learned magic in; girls, you're going to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!" Alia proclaimed. All six girls stared at Alia blankly. "School of Witchcrap and Wizardy?" said Venus. "There's a school on a hog's wart?" asked Artemis, Venus' twin. Alia was not amused. "Wait, wait, wait, you actually went to school for this?" asked Katana-Alia's granddaughter- bewildered. "Yes, yes I did. Without that school, I'd have never gotten to where I am now," said Alia proudly as she singled out a screen on the game board. The screen slowly magnified and took over the game board, now under Alia's control. Alia grimaced and sighed, "I'll have to make some major changes to fit you guys in, but it'll do." "Are the vampires coming?" asked Diana timidly. Alia grimaced again. "Oh, I guess so. I'll send a message to Revenge now." Alia brought a quill and scroll out of thin air. After scribbling an invitation down on it, she tossed the scroll in the air- it disappeared. "As for you-," Alia turned back to her descendants, "You'll need new names, your aging process restarted, and your memories wiped clean. Any questions? Good," she said when nobody spoke up. Alia waved the quill, which turned into a wand, and the six girls disappeared.
