Pride, Prejudice, and Potter
by Sarah Webb, Yuki Rutherford, and Casey Jackson
Introduction
There are many moments in life that can be revisited and recognized as a time in which something was destined to happen. On a dark and stormy night, for instance, it is usually easy to guess that something awful is going to take place. In hindsight, when one realizes that the night their Great-Aunt Tessa died in her sleep is the same night that it was dark and stormy, it's easy to spot the correlation.
In this case, the night was actually rather unremarkable. No storms marred the starry sky. A chorus of angels didn't sing from the heavens to mark the occasion. Lightening didn't strike the same place twice. Pigs didn't fly. Ms. Lundberg didn't suddenly decide to give all of her failing students an "A" for effort.
That night, the Leaky Cauldron was simply packed with people; families and friends coming to enjoy each other's company, to talk, to laugh, to dance, and to eat good food and be merry.
Two people were destined to meet that night, though they would never have guessed that their lives would intertwine. Nor would they have guessed that they would ever have feelings for one another. In fact, they were more apt to believe (at least after their first meeting) that the other person was a complete jerk, and that if they never met again it would be too soon.
But I digress…
This story follows one Harry Potter, now to be known as Harry Bennet, and one Draco Malfoy, hereafter known as Draco Darcy, and the unlikely love that blossomed between them.
Welcome to tonight's entertaining rendition of Pride, Prejudice, and Potter.
