A/N: vampireex, Deathus, god of all, sanbeegoldiewhitey, Mick-Ann, Mithrondir, ssnw, Dazaniel, thank you so much for your reviews! To say I was shocked when I found out I had 8 reviews for the first chapter was an understatement. I was (what all other author's also experience) really incredibly happy that others are enjoying this story... So yeah, thanks guys! You (and your reviews) are what keep me on writing this story. And yeah, there's not much action here but, I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT none the less! ;)

Summary: On Harry James Potter's coming-of-age day, he receives a letter with the Gringotts seal on it. Now, that might just seem boring. But, when you add in a great grandfather and his bestfriend-once rival's bet, the Marauder's Map, and James Potter in the mix; you'll get one hell of an adventure!

Disclaimer: Yes, as you have guessed, I don't own Harry Potter. JK Rowling does - and I'm not her. I am Marauder Neyo. So... there you go. :)

Fate Knows Best

We Won't Know Until It Happens (Chapter 2)

May 9, 1998 (A week after the Final Battle of Hogwarts)

The war between the forces of light and darkness was officially over (though there were still a few rogue death eaters here and there) – and one Harry Potter, the boy-who-lived, now the man-who-conquered has decided to return to the venue of the aforementioned war.

This eighteen year old war survivor will be once again entering the gigantic gates of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. First, to help in rebuilding the once-majestic castle (which he and others with a golden heart and whom are in love with the castle are already doing a day just after the war). Second, to finish his seventh year. And third, to find out more information regarding the marriage contract and his betrothed.

He'll be there to neither be the boy-who-lived, nor the man-who-conquered. And no, not even to be the Headmaster. That is going to be Minie(McGonagall)'s job. Instead, he will be going back there as a student. An ordinary student (Good luck with that, H!). And he'll be entering there with a new-found knowledge. A new-found knowledge regarding a marriage contract.

A marriage contract that he found out thanks to the goblins of Gringotts; Griphook to be exact.

A marriage contract stating that he would lose his magic if he won't marry HER (not that she isn't going to lose her's as well. But hey! Cut the bloke some slack! He just came from war. What else do you expect? Him going into your house and proposing?).

A marriage contract that was started by his great-grandfather, Regel Potter; and his bestfriend- once rival, Cygnus Greengrass.

A marriage contract that led to events on him being another victim of Ginevra's famous Bat Bogey Hex. (Well, at least he finally experienced it first-hand.)

And most importantly, a marriage contract that ruined HIS LIFE and HIS CHANCE AT LOVE! A Slytherin and a Gryffindor? What were Regel and Cygnus thinking? Well, they were a thinking about a joke and a bet; but the son of Lily and James doesn't need to know that.

But he'll be entering there not knowing that his betrothed had also joined the war.

…oooOOOooo…

August 24, 1997 (Daphne Greengrass's Birthday)

Daphne Ophelia Greengrass was livid. Actually, beyond livid… But you get the picture. Which is not the point. The point is that she was livid. And that's really a shock. Why? Because she was Daphne Greengrass. The "Ice Princess". The "Stoic Rebel".

She still couldn't believe that her great grandfather did that to her, At first, she thought it was just some prank. But the undoubtedly original Gringotts seal gave away that it was real.

Seriously! What was up with family members forcing her to get married?

First, she thought it was only her parents with Malfoy; but now, even her great grandfather ruined her life by stating in a marriage contract that she SHOULD MARRY POTTER on her 20th birthday… Or else, lose her magic!

What's wrong with just being an old and single spinster?

She has to choose which fate she wants:

To die and just wander around the corners of the afterlife for the rest of eternity,

No magic and live in the muggle world with no money and just die an old and pathetic woman, or

Marry Potter.

It's a difficult choice. The three choice equals the same. Her future will be ruined. And she has Cygnus and Regel to blame.

But maybe marrying the Gryffindor Golden Boy won't be so bad. Besides, that doesn't mean she has to do 'stuff' with him… Or fall in love. Right?

Maybe. Maybe not. We won't know until it happens.

A/N: So, was it good? Better? Best? What? A girl can hope. Yes, yes. I know, it's short; others will be longer. Or at least... I hope so. *Dun Dun Dun* Don't worry. It will be. Don't you trust me? *puppy dog eyes*

Alright, I'm babbling now. I'll let you guys live the rest of your lives. Right about... NOW!
