Prologue
There were once two girls. One with curly red hair and sparkling blue eyes, the other with straight brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. These girls grew up together as best friend as close as sisters. They went to a private all girl school and later Oxford together. Around the same time they both got married.
The brunette's name changed from Audrey Katrina Waldorf to Audrey Katrina Waldorf Granger when she married Edmund Granger. They stayed in Chelsea at his penthouse. In September of 1979, after a year of marriage, Audrey gave birth to Hermione Jane Granger. She did not see her best friend for the next three years.
The red head's name changed from Katherine Aemiliavan der Woodson to Katherine Aemilia Archibald when she married Nathaniel Archibald. They moved to his family manor in Wales. She did not see her best friend for the next three years. After they got married they tried to procreate but soon found out that she could not have children. This brings us to the beginning of our story.
In the fall of 1981, after two years of going to hundreds of orphanages all over the continent, Mr. and Mrs. Archibald stumbled upon a dingy orphanage. They were looking for a child that could pass as one of their own. They didn't need people to know that one of the most powerful couples in Europe could not have children. So they keep that fact quiet by bribing the doctor that diagnosed Katherine and saying that they were going on an "extended vacation" when they were really searching for a child.
In this dingy little orphanage they found a little baby boy a little over a year old with bright green eyes and curly black hair. "Oh, Nathaniel he looks just like you!"
"Yes but he has your curly hair. May we ask this child's name?"
"His name is Harold James Potter. He was dropped of here a couple of months ago by his aunt and uncle. His parents were killed in an automobile accident. He is nineteen months and in perfect health, except for this unfortunate scar on his forehead." The man replied and at the end of his description he lifted the child's hair off of his forehead to show the couple a strange lightening bolt shaped scar.
After more discussion the couple adopted the child. They moved to Oxford to get a way from their old friends who might ask too many awkward questions. Harold's name was changed to Harrington Nathaniel Archibald. They soon moved to Chelsea and bought a penthouse in the same building as their old friends and were reunited with Audrey and her husband Edmund. Their two children grew up together as close as Audrey and Katherine were as kids. They were enrolled into the best private schools and at the age of eight Harrington's strange scar was surgically removed.
Harry, as his family and close friends called him, and Hermione did almost everything together. Horseback riding at the local country club, homework, and everything else they did with one another. When they first started school Hermione was a know-it-all bookworm and Harry was popular. It wasn't until about third grade that Harry showed Hermione how to hide her bookworm tendencies and start being more outgoing eventually bringing her to popularity. Through the years Hermione grew from being popular by association to being genuinely popular.
This was only one of many differences between the two friends. There has not been a more unalike pair. Harry, though poised, polite, and witty, tended to also be snobbish, arrogant, and a show-off. Hermione, on the other hand, was also poised, polite, witty, and a show-off, but thought all people were equal and was kind to everyone. Despite all of their differences, through the years you could never find friends more devoted to each other.
Thousands of miles away, in the middle of Scotland there was a castle. Deep in the bowels of said castle was and old book. This book was filled with the names of thousands of children all over the U.K. This book sent out letters to those children around there eleventh birthday to invite them to a special school. In this book there was the name Harry James Potter and no except an old man with a mischievous twinkle in his bright blue eyes noticed as the letters in that name changed and rearranged to form the words Harrington Nathaniel Archibald.
