Après Moi le Deluge
Introduction
This is an Alternate Universe where Harry's family is royalty, descending from the line of the Original Four. The Original Four are the Four Wiccans who were blessed with the gifts of gods, and they created magic. They are Airian, Firelius, Earthus, and Wateriley. Currently Harry's family is the reigning house and Harry is the prince in line to take the throne. Draco's father is the very powerful Patron of the Aurelius'. The Aurelius' are in some definitions a crime ring made up of the most 'dark' wiccans. The Malfoy family however is neither light nor dark, although they have a dark past.
Before Draco or Harry were ever born. The Aurelius were the keepers of the royal family's, but the royals felt that they had too much power over them so they banished them from court. It was then that the world was split between those who believed that the Aurelius were deserving of this punishment and those that did not.
Without the Aurelius the Royals got greedy and power hungry and the Original Four cursed not only them but all purebloods, so that they could only reach their maximum power after their 17th year and the more power they used the more it would waste them away, till the royals saw the error of their ways and humbled themselves. Chaos reigned for many years before the Potter family took the throne and now that they have, things are better for the people and looking up. There are still those who wish the Aurelius would come back and those who believe they got what they deserve.
In this AU there are purebloods, which means, you are born of blood from one of the four Originals and Wiccans who are the ones with magical ability, regardless of blood lines. Those without magic are very aware of the magical universe and they live side by side peacefully.
