You may wonder, if you accidentally began reading the real "First Chapter" of "The New Dark Lord"...
"Why the heck does it start off in the MIDDLE?!"
Okay, so.
This is a join-written, Alternate Universe-esque story. I am currently "translating" it from me and Jess's raggedy ol' journal to Word. Unfortunately, a fair portion of the story has been lost; we were writing in two journals, and the first half of the story was written in a journal that we haven't been able to find. Fortunately, however, the pulp of the plot is not really in the first bit. What was there was the backstory of our own characters, and their relationship with one another: Adicus Darcey and Emily Potter. We will be rewriting the beginning of the story, but seeing as we were both extremely excited about sharing it on the webs to get feedback, we've decided that readers should be able to comprehend what's going on, despite not having read the first part. For now, I will give you a quick, bullet-pointed synopsis of the first bit, anyways. Just to clear up things that MAY be a bit foggy:
Adicus Darcey and Emily Potter are not a part of the originial HP universe. I (Cass) am mostly in control of Adicus, and Jess, Emily. We do not write for our characters specifically, however. The only real way to distinguish between our writing is that sometimes a piece of the story may dwell deeper into Adicus' character, and another, Emily's- but note that when one person is writing, they are in control of ALL of the actions, not just their individual character, unlike a role-play, or summat.
Adicus Darcey hates Harry Potter. He just does. He's the kind of kid that hates people that everyone loves. He is a 5th year Ravenclaw.
In this story, Emily Potter is Harry and Ginny Potter's only child. She is a 5th year Gryffindor, and hates Adicus Darcey. To explain their relationship quickly: They fight like Draco and Harry. Emily posesses many qualities alike both her parents, and Adicus, weirdly enough, is as reckless and stupid as Harry, too.
Adicus has brown hair, brown eyes. Wears glasses when he reads. Emily looks like Ginny, basically, though perhaps a little less mousy and frail.
Adicus is/was dating Iris Malfoy- Draco's daughter (his only child in the story.*). Yes, she is a Slytherin. Adicus practically allowed himself to be "slutted" upon by her for a year or so. Analogy. Let's see. They're the King and Queen of Prom. Every year.
Both Adicus and Emily are on the Quidditch teams, and are the captains of their respective teams. During a match, in the first bit, Emily is badly injured, and blames Adicus for it. They both get detention for their rowdy conduct on the field.
There detention was to organize their Potion Master's office. Adicus found Snape's old "Advanced Potions Making" book- it must have been circulated back into Hogwarts after Harry Potter's possession of it. Pockets it after detention. Begins to have a strange obsession with it.
Adicus intercepts an owl being sent to Iris. It is from her father, who explains that her grandfather, Lucius Malfoy, has escaped Azkaban. Iris is eerily triumphant about this. Adicus begins to investigate- and freakin' Harry Potter himself shows up to demand that his daughter take a part in this, as he cannot directly.
Adicus "breaks up" with Iris. Boo-hoo.
Adicus and Emily act as one another's "dates" (you can just imagine the vomit being held down between the both of them) to a Halloween party Iris is holding in the Slytherin Commons. Emily is obviously disguised so that no one can find out who she is. Iris does, however, and lures Adicus and Emily into a trap. They are surrounded by Death Eaters. Adicus convinces Iris to let them go: he stuns Emily, and says he'll do away with her. He takes her back to his room.
The rumors about Adicus and Emily's "relationship" begin to fly. Adicus is enraged to find that his best friend, Chase, is one of the loudest rumor speaders. This happens after Chase comes up to the dormitories to ask Adicus something about Quidditch, and he talks rather ruthlessly about Emily- who is hiding underneath Adicus' bed. Adicus, for the sake of his own dignity and his close friendship with Chase- for lack of better words- ruins Emily. When all is said and done, Emily flies into a rage and leaves.
And that, ladies and gentleman, is the bulk of the beginning of "The New Dark Lord." COMPLETELY ABRIDGED, of course. If you have any other questions after reading this, or while you're reading the story (if you even feel like reading it now,) feel free to contact me through review or message.
