AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Sorry, I need to add something.
I need to give you a heads-up and correct my intro:
Once I started writing, some things changed in my original draft (since I am proofreading them myself).
You'll see I've decided to skip Harry's second year, and logically Marina's fourth, completely after chapter 9 and take back up a year, namely the summer of 1993.
This is where I tell you that I won't keep all the canon pairings...
Also, I should correct the statement about where the material that IS NOT MINE is coming from:
Harry Potter book series
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (book)
Harry Potter movie series
Pottermore
Fan-Wiki: wiki/Main_Page (browsing took some time)
Just so we're clear, since I almost ran into trouble once.
In the later chapters, which is "my" story, I will be mentioning a lot of canon characters ( some of them pretty soon, others later on) and my OCs a lot more – and I don't do introduction repetition like J.K. in the books, so to (maybe) make reading easier and more fun, here a list of characters (sorted by age):
