Disclaimer: Harry Potter belongs to J.K. Rowling
Plot: Outside views of the Harry Potter timeline
We are background characters. We matter as well.
The faceless people in the background of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff? Black to blond hair with varying facial structures ranging from flat to pinched? Yes, those are actually people as well. We don't live as interesting lives, but we still exist- sans the Hufflepuff that got eaten by an acromantula that no-one remembers. Point proven.
I'm writing this right now to commemorate the minority of the population not judged with Slytherin disdain or Gryffindor ignorance. Maybe I was the name called after Harry Potter at his first sorting ceremony. Maybe I'm a bitter older student that never got invited to Harry Potter's secret DA group. Maybe I'm the one that he bumped into without apologizing while plotting something.
The simple fact that we exist changes everything in what Harry Potter has done. I'm pretty sure that the explosion from Cedric's inkwell hit me that time when we were walking to our next class. I'm the one who asked whether Krum would sign my hat in lipstick. Not that anyone remembers.
The slightly ragged looking asian third year Ravenclaw with permanent eyebags? That's one of us. He'll be telling the story from the train ride right now. So sit tight, and don't ignore us anymore. We outnumber you at least 500 to one.
This is the first story that I'm publishing, a view of the characters from an outside party not mentioned by J. K. Rowling. I really need a Beta because my grammar tends to lag at around 3am. I'll update as soon as possible if this prologue gets at least 15 reviews (hopefully).
As for the story, if anyone has characters or names that they want me to try or prompts that they want me to write about, feel free to write a review
thank you,
