FOREWORD

This story had a bit of a troubled genesis. I initially intended to do one in the style of megamatt09, with a Harry/Supergirl pairing, and then, given whitetigerwolf's 'Tamaran Contract' challenge, I considered doing a Harry/Supergirl/Starfire pairing. But that story, the original version of Per Volar Su Nata, I found myself becoming dissatisfied with. I eventually decided I could do a Harry/Starfire pairing much better than a three-way, or even Harry/Supergirl (though that's still on the cards). This is the result.

The title is not Latin, by the way, but Italian, meaning 'born to soar', coming from Dante Aligheri's Divine Comedy.

Anyway, time for the disclaimers. Firstly, this is an M-rated work for various reasons. Sex, violence, and dark themes. You have been warned.

Secondly, there will be a number of annotations, and I don't want to hear any bellyaching.

Thirdly, there will be spoilers for the Harry Potter books, and for the DC universe. It will certainly be a substantial AU for both. And the students will be a year older than in canon (so instead of Harry being 15 as he is at the beginning of Book 5, he is closer to 16). Plus, the background for the Titans and particularly Starfire will be a hybrid of continuities, so keep that in mind.

Finally, this is a fan-written work. The DC Comics, Harry Potter, and the characters and scenarios are property of their respective owners. Please, support the official release. Otherwise, the Titans will kick your arse…
