Hello everyone, and welcome to my first fic! This isn't a chapter,
but a prologue of sorts. Because I'm not following all of Book 5, and this
starts with the summer before Harry's 7th year, there are some things that
need explaining. So here goes:
Things that I changed from Book 5:
1) Sirius is not dead. There is no way that I could keep one of my
favorite characters dead! At the ministry, he was just stunned, not
killed.
2) Wormtail was caught at the Ministry during the attack. Under
Truth Serum, he admitted to everything. Sirius was freed before the
end of Harry's 5th year.
3) Arabella Figg is not a Squib. She is a witch working with the
Order. Was in the same class as the Marauders, but was taking an
aging potion. She and Sirius used to go out, and rekindled their
romance by working together in the Order.
4) Sirius and Arabella got together between Harry's 4th and 5th year.
At Christmas, Arabella found out she was pregnant. They were married
as soon as Sirius was proven innocent, and Arabella gave birth to a
daughter, Lily Elizabeth Black, on July 9.
5) Right after Sirius and Arabella were married, they adopted Harry.
He now calls them Dad and Mum.
6) During the summer between Harry's 5th and 6th year, Remus met a
woman named Katherine Green She used to be a famous Wizard singer,
but now works for the Order. Katherine is still pretty famous. She
and Remus married at Christmas of Harry's 6th year.
7) Sirius, Arabella, Harry, and Lily live in Godric's Hollow, while
Remus and Katherine live in Hogsmeade.
Here's what happened during Harry's 6th year:
1) Harry is made a prefect.
2) Sirius goes back to the job he had before Azkaban: an Auror. He
is now Head Auror.
3) Voldemort is back with a vengeance since the public announcement
of his return. He attacks just about everywhere except Hogwarts.
4) Harry and Hermione start dating Halloween of 5th year. During the
Easter holidays of their 6th year, Harry proposes. She accepts.
5) Voldemort hears of this, and comes up with a way to defeat Harry
once and for all: capture Hermione.
6) Kidnaps her during their last Hogsmeade visit. Sends Harry a
ransom note. Before anyone else finds out about the note, Harry goes
after her.
7) Harry and Voldemort duel. Voldemort almost kills Harry when
Hermione's magical power explodes. This awakens Harry, who's power
also explodes. Together, they both release unknown powers and send
Voldemort to places unknown. Both are unconscious when found because
of the power drain. Harry is worse because of the duel, and spends
the next 2 weeks in the hospital wing.
8) After hearing everything, Dumbledore concludes that Harry and
Hermione are sorcerers (wizards of the highest magical power ever).
He also decides that they must be trained to use their new powers.
9) Arabella was the DADA teacher. She and Snape got along OK (were
acquaintances from their school days), and during the battle to save
Harry and Hermione Snape helps them and actually saves Arabella once.
Everyone now gets along, and Snape is going to be one of the people to
train Harry and Hermione. He was even nice enough to let them train
at his family chateau in France (with a little prodding from
Dumbledore, of course!). I know that this makes Snape totally AU, but
oh well. I think that he could be nice with the right circumstances.
So there we go. A very brief summary of what happened before this
story starts. If something is confusing (which I'm sure it is) please
ask it in the review (please review!)
Oh, and I'm not putting in any descriptions of how people look. Isn't
using your own imagination more fun?
Any questions? No? Good, now on with the story!
