Balance
A/N: Hey guys. Sorry about my last fic, but it is going on a permanent vacation to the recycling bin in the sky. Don't worry though, I am still alive and kicking. This fic is going to be extremely AU and OOC. I mean, no magic, or at least not like in other fics, Hogwarts is completely different, Harry isn't Harry, and Vernon never married Petunia. Also, Harry is extremely powerful, and evil. Definite soul-bond, but that won't happen until at least year four. And yes, I do know who it is going to be with. It will be a huge shocker! *evil laugh* Oh yeah. I am an aspiring author, as in selling this story as a real book, but my style hasn't yet matured. (Much like me.) So I would be indebted to you if you could pm me or review with some advice. Alright, on with the show. (By the way, fic of the day is Prince of the Dark Kingdom by Mizuni-sama)
Prologue/Creepy clichéd monologue at the beginning of too many fics
Balance. Not many ever really achieve it. But balance is important. You could say that every human's quest is to achieve it. Many concepts are based on it. Light and dark. Good and evil. Yin and Yang. Black and White. But almost no human can live in this gray area. They all eventually tip. They always fall to the great leaders of one side or another. However, not Jaime Clayman. Jaime Clayman made his home there. He would become loved and revered at times, but hated and feared at others. For though he would tip to both sides at times, he never truly fell out of the gray. This is the story of Jaime Clayman, and his pursuit of balance.
Chapter 1: The Letter
Jaime Clayman was not having a good day. "The Amazing Pig-Man," otherwise known as Jaime's last living relative, had screamed at him for an hour straight. 'What is the reason?' you ask. Well, it was because his hair was two inches two long. 1 hour of yelling, for two inches of hair. He hadn't had this long of hair last night, but that does not surprise him. It was probably those voices he heard when he went in public. They were active at home, but more so in public. Every night, when he woke up, little parts of his appearance changed. Eye color, hair color, hair length. It had been more noticeable as he had gotten older. He was eleven now, but it showed no signs of stopping. As he walked over to the door to get the mail, he noticed something peculiar. His name, on an envelope! He was so excited he almost screamed! But he clamped down on his emotions, like he had for years. He would do what he did with all of his possessions; hide them. He walked over to the ruined couch; Pig-Man had broken it with his immense weight. He hid it with the rest of his 'contraband', under the couch cushions. He placed it next to his toys.
"Here's the mail" he mumbled, "Try not to sit on it"
Pig-Man shouted, "What was that, you worthless weirdo?"
"Nothing sir," he sneered through his teeth.
"Good. Finish cleaning the house, eat a piece of bread, and go back to your room. OR ELSE!" He screamed.
As I went about my chores, I lifted a few things here and there. A pound laying around. A candy bar that fell to the ground. As I finished my cores, I walked to the couch. I pulled out my letter and ran to my room. As I opened it, this is what I read:
To the Class 2 untrained magi Jaime Seaker Clayman,
Hello, I am Sir Samuel, a Class 1 trained magi.
I am a teacher at a school for magi. I am also a member of The Court of 13. The court is, as of now, a court of twelve. Our thirteenth family disappeared, and the identity of their heir is unknown. He was called Scorpio by his family. Anyhow, attached to this letter is a transport key. Hold the key with two hands, turn one handle, and say clearly 'Tally Ho!' You will arrive in our orientation chamber, with around 50-75 other untrained magi of different classes. All are of your own age.
I hope to see you there.
Sir Samuel
"Wow" Said Jaime "Maybe I should try it."
Jaime gripped the key with both hands. "I am not doing anything else, am I?" He turned the handle, and yelled, "Tally-Hooo!"
You are welcome. I combined a lot of different ideas and fics, and admittedly, some things from x-men. I swear it will break into its own soon. I am sorry for the short chapter, but this was just to test the waters. I should hopefully update weekly. By the way, 10 points if you know the significance of Jaime's name. Twenty if you know the fic I got it from. Message me if you know.
