Life, Love, and Family
Prologue: Peaceful Beginnings
Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
Mahatma Gandhi
The course of true love never did run smoothly.
William Shakespeare
Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Don't walk beside me; I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
Albert Camus
Three years after the final confrontation between Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort, the wizarding world was at a richly deserved peace. Everything seemed so serene. Unfortunately, looks could be deceiving. Somewhere, a new enemy was waiting for the right time; brewing like a stew. This one person would change the route of the whole world. When that day would come, no one knew. Only twelve people knew of the upcoming danger. When this danger would arise, they would definitely be ready.
Harry Potter, the boy who lived, was still in vigorous training. He had been ever since he left Hogwarts. He was training to become part of the highest ranking of the Magi, the Arbitrarios. According to many people, this training was the toughest of all. It was physically draining. Harry had even been offered a place as Seeker on many Quidditch teams.
Ron Weasley, one of Harry's best friends, had taken an oath to follow his friend into the depths of hell and back. To Ron and Harry, the depths of hell were the Arbitrario training. Ron was good at taking the brutal punishment and finally gotten over his arachnophobia...somewhat.
Hermione Granger, the brains of the Terrific Trio, had decided to end her Magas training at the rank of Adeguato. She instead was offered a job at the Ministry as an intern. She worked under Alfonso Assante as one of his many secretaries in the Department of International Affairs.
Ginny Weasley, the sister of Ron Weasley, had also wanted to become an Arbitrario. Both Harry and Ron opposed to this, saying it was entirely too dangerous. Fortunately for Ginny, she was better at numerous skills than they were. She surprised everyone and had put the doubts to rest.
Aurora Assante, the opposite of Harry Potter, also stopped her Magas training at Adeguato. She did not see the need to continue it. Power was not one thing she lacked. Aurora now worked in the Ministry as well. She worked as a secretary for the head Magas, Capo Superiori Cyril Jones.
Draco Malfoy, former nemesis of Harry Potter and boyfriend to Aurora Assante, joined Harry and Ron in their quest for becoming Arbitrarios. Draco was basically Harry's general motivation in training. Both were unconsciously striving to be better than the other. Draco had also gotten his inheritance as his mother had released it to him. Narcissa Malfoy is still serving time in Azkaban Prison.
The Tremaine twins, Catalina and Celerina, worked at Gringotts, the wizard bank. The headstrong twins had their occasional run-ins with the goblins, but had finally learned to control themselves. When people went to the bank, they preferred to see the twins instead of a goblin, due to them actually being human.
Neville Longbottom worked with Luna Lovegood at the Quibbler. They were both reporters. They turned the Quibbler into a worthy rival for the Daily Prophet. Occasionally, they would both report for the Ministry.
Avarielle Zaviera, daughter of the late Lord Voldemort and sister to the fugitive Tomás Zaviera, has been released from her two years of servitude under Charlie Weasley. Currently, Ava is working for the Ministry like Hermione and Aurora. Ava has become a Ministry Telepath. She works as secretary to Capo Inferiori Jovianne Benedict. Benedict is second only to Capo Superiori Cyril Jones.
Last but most definitely not least is Neveah Assante, sister of Aurora Assante and mother of quintuplets. Neve continued her training as a Magas. She became the youngest Arbitrario at the age of eighteen, shortly after she gave birth. No one really knows how she accomplished this feat. She works part-time as a Magas because of her three-year-old children.
There is one missing, of course. His name is Tomás Zaviera. Many know him as the son of Voldemort. He has been a fugitive from prosecution by the Ministry for three years and has not been seen by anyone in that amount of time. He is the father of Neve's children. The Ministry has them under constant surveillance to see if Tommy will show. Unfortunately, he has not. Or has he...
These thirteen people will play major parts in the war that will come in a total of nineteen years. But for now, they are at peace and only they know of what is to come.
AN: Well, this is the beginning of my little saga. I hope you all enjoy it. More will come soon. Hopefully, you all will like this one as much as the previous two. Keep in mind that this one story will span about ten years.
Oh, and thank you to all who reviewed my other stories. I really appreciated it and I will try not to disappoint when it comes to these sagas.
