The White Knight

by Seel'vor

ON HIATUS WHILE I REWRITE IT. The Second War ended when Voldemort was killed in 1998, right? Er... no. There are still battles to be fought, old enemies to kill, and a destiny to claim. Will be H/Hr, but only at the very end.

1. Introduction

Author's Note:

Disclaimer:

Harry Potter belongs to JK Rowling, Warner Bros Motion Pictures, Bloomsbury Books, and whoever else owns a piece of it.

The EbonBlade is based on the Ebony Blade, written by Stan Lee for "The Black Knight", released by Atlas Comics, before it became Marvel.

The ShadowBlade is based on 'Shadowfang' from the computer game "Diablo II", released and owned by Blizzard Entertainment.

This entire story was inspired by five words: "White knight takes black bishop." from RoboCop: Prime Directives. (Part one. It's worth a watch, if you can excuse the fact that Paige Fletcher, who plays RoboCop is far too short. He's 5"9', for god's sake!)

This story follows canon, up to an including Half Blood Prince except for a few small points:

· Harry never asked Cho Chang to the Yule Ball in fourth year, and never 'noticed' her.

· Cho did try to kiss Harry during fifth year, but he ran away screaming from the Room of Requirement

· Harry/Ginny never happened (and it shouldn't have, either)

· Dumbledore did not die at the end of 6th year. Malfoy and Snape did attempt to kill him, but fled before the AK was thrown.

· Harry and Dumbledore spent most of seventh year investigating and destroying Voldemort's remaining four Horcruxes.

Final Note: A lot of the characters in this story are referred to by chess piece names. I refuse to call a Rook a 'Castle'. For the Americans amongst us, every time you see the word 'Rook', it means castle.
