All is Fair in Love and War
An Improbable Harry Potter Fan Fiction

Author's Notes and Author's Introduction

Welcome, welcome, welcome, everyone!
This is =Skade=, your wonderful author speaking. : ) I decided to do an "author's notes" for this to explain things... errr, a lot of things actually...

First off, this is going to be a quite interesting fanfiction piece. I'm procrastinating on my other so I can write this - but I just have to get this story out of my head before it runs away! My muse is being picky with me. (She works per hour, don'cha know...)

The basis of this story is that a catastrophe has happened in the wisarding world. Magic's power and avalibility has dropped, and nearly all magic is now elemental. That means that each person has a special type of magic, like fire, electricity, water, earth, etc. Muggles have evacuated all of England and surrounding countryside because of a supposed "nuclear meltdown", actually the effect of the magic 'separating'. Earth magic has ran amuck and forests cover most of the country now. London is nothing more than a tangle of oaks over the remains of stone buildings, roads and wood long gone. Everything is one giant forest. There are no wisard battles anymore, enchanted elemental swords being the weaponry of choice. The entire world has fallen backwards in technology, wisards now live somewhere between mideval and colonial times. Lord Voldemort has not been seen (in full fury, at least) since the seperating... but it has been roumored that he has had a certain change of heart. A new dark lord has come forth from who the world thought the least likely... He calls himself Lord Samael...

The first chapter takes its title from a bit of verse. The song is Simon and Garfunkel's Scarborogh Fair, the title comes from the refrain. If you have the song handy, play it as you read.

Now you know everything you need to enjoy this story. Chapter one brings answers. Chapter two will bring even more.

Enjoy. Your journey into this land I'm half-crafting will soon begin.

Disclaimer: All characters from the Harry Potter series are, of course, J.K. Rowling's. This is PG-13 (even though I am 12 and the author - ha!) because I can't help but get just a bit descriptive with all the blood, guts and gore. Why are you reading this utterly boring disclaimer anyway? Does it interest you? Hmmmm, you are a quite strange person if it does. Tra-la-la...
