Preface- Isabella's Past

You-Know-Who's Final Strike

Byline: Jade Kingsburg

Date: November 1, 1981

DAILY PROPHET HEADQUARTERS, LONDON, ENGLAND- Last night, You-Know-Who struck again, for which has been rumored to be his most recent and final act of evil. In the mist of this victorious and great celebration, two great people have been lost in the celebration. Lily and James Potter were killed last night as a result of a direct attack by You-Know-Who late last night in their home.

In a turn of events, young Harry survived and You-Know-Who lost his own life. Harry was taken to safety before anything more could occur in the famous Godric's Hollow, a notable Wizarding community where Godric Gryffindor himself was born. No reports have been given by the Ministry of Magic on what will happen to Harry.

"We are very busy at the time being, and we advise people not to let their guard down due to You-Know-Who not being (out there still). We advise also not to use any magic in front of Muggles, or any other phenomenon that would attract Muggle attention." Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, had stated earlier when questioned.

Death Eaters, supporters of You-Know-Who, are still at large, and are dangerous. Many have been noted to be taking their 'final stance' and attacking witches and wizards left and right.

Many casualties have been reported now, as well as injuries. Including in these casualties are the famous Adrian and William Swan, noted Aurors for the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. The two were killed prior to the Potter's murders. It has been confirmed that You-Know-Who was behind the murders for the Swans as well. Their two children, twins Isabella "Bella" Marie Swan age 1 and Nathaniel "Nathan" Leon Swan age 1, are missing, and are considered alive, seeing how their bodies were not found along their parents. Their household in Tinworth, another Wizardry community, was also destroyed.

The Swans and Potters were close family friends, and went to Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry together in their youth.

UPDATE NOVEMBER 2, 1981

Isabella "Bella" Marie Swan was found yesterday with her twin brother, Nathaniel "Nathan" Leon Swan, in London. The two have temporarily been put in custody with an unknown family, and will be given permanent housing arrangements later on.

Harry James Potter, dubbed "The Boy Who Lived", has been given a permanent place of residence with a close family relative, whom's status and identity are unknown as of now, and probably will stay that way.

Nathaniel was found battered, and appeared to have made a struggle to escape. Isabella was also shaken up. Both were dehydrated, and were severely anemic from wounds they had received. They have been treated for their injuries at St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.

UPDATE NOVEMBER 15, 1981

Isabella "Bella" Marie Swan, dubbed "Isabella the Great" and Nathaniel "Nathan" Swan, dubbed "Nathaniel the Brave", were given a home earlier today with the Weasely's. Molly and Arthur Weasley were named guardians for the youngsters earlier, as per the will's of the late Adrian and William Swan. The Weasleys have 7 children, Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, Ronald, and Ginerva Weasely. Their new nicknames have originated from the apparent struggle the two of them put up against Death Eaters, despite their extraordinarily young ages. The two show a promising future in the Wizardry World in addition to Harry Potter. We wish them luck.

Hey guys! So, this is the cleaned up prologue. After this, it'll probably be the same alongthe lines of plot, with changes here and there until Bella gets back to Hogwarts...So basicallyto me, after Chapter One, everything is free game to my imagination. I am the same author, and honestly, don't even try to point fingers or accuse me of plagiarism.I still kind of look the same too in both pictures. Anyways, until next time guys.
