*Year 7*  Harry Potter and the Seer's Prophecy

Chapter 1:  Prologue

            Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Slytherin.  The Hogwarts founders were some of the greatest wizards and witches that ever lived.  Each had a different strength, his or her own way of looking at existence.  But their goal was the same:  change the world, for the better.  This they did, though inner quarrels and rough times were plentiful.  They brought education to the ignorant, hope to those in despair, and light to dark times; that legacy lives in Hogwarts.

            Yet each left a their own legacy that has passed through the ages, leaving its mark only by producing great magicians in each generation.  It was thought of simply as that, something that had little purpose, something just there.  That is, until the year 1973, after Lily Evans and James Potter's first Divination class.  There, from the most unexpected source, came a hint, a possibility that those who had the founders' blood were meant for something more.  So the precious few who knew of this watched, and waited…  Waited for twenty-four years.

            The wait is over.

            "Every beginning has an ending; every life shall fade away; every story has a hero; every darkness…dies with day."

A/N:  So another year begins.  As you would know if you read my A/N at the end of year 6, you would know that I'm VERY excited about this fic. (Heh, just watch, it'll flop.  Thus the story of my life…)  But really, I like it.  I've got a lot of strings to pull together, but it should be fun.

            Oh, and I'm working on chapter 1. *sigh* Can't I just skip to the middle? *mumble, grumble*

            Be excellent to each other!
