Forward

-by Terry Black-Bootstein

The Wizard World has commemorated witches and wizards in books, monuments, and chocolate frog cards. The beds where our children sleep are bedecked with the colors of Hogwarts Founders. Families were divided along House lines, but things are changing at the illustrious school. Our world was reborn brighter. It is the task of our generation to look back, but find our way forward.

Our non-magic neighbors dedicate periods of time to remember their great men and women. In that spirit the Gay and Lesbian Order of Allied Wizards GLOAW has instituted National Wizarding LGBT History Week. Each day of October 25 - 31 a witch or wizard will be honored for his or her contributions.

I have been appointed to interview the first week's living icons, and to write biographies for them all. They will appear in The Daily Prophet and The Quibbler.

I will strive to give a worthy account of my peers and predecessors.

Sincerely,
Terry Black-Bootstein


A/N: We didn't want to detract from Terry's words so we saved ours for the end. This is a take on the LGBT History Month for the Harry Pitter World. GLOAW is our brain-child; please ask before using it.
