*A tall red haired girl comes into the room, and carefully sets down a large duffel bag by a cushy armchair, and sets herself in it.* Hey all! This is yet another Harry Potter fan fiction! I know, there are a lot of them out there, but hopefully this one will be interesting enough to read. Apparently, it was interesting enough to catch your eyes, or you're a friend I told to read it. ^^ Anyway, this story is set in the world J.K. Rowling created, and has a similar plotline. There are a few divergences (which I will allow you to spot on your own^^), which, I hope, will eventually lead my story to a somewhat different end. If it doesn't, well, I don't know what to say. Anyway, most all of the characters in this story are Rowling's property, even though I've altered some of them in different ways, but Kianara and her family are created by me, and are my property. (Sorry about the legal mumbo-jumbo, but I feel better now.)
brPlease enjoy this story, and give criticisms (hopefully constructive...) or praises, or a combination of both. This is my first fan fiction I've ever written, and then I decided to post it up here. So please, do not bash it too hard... I don't like frying pans... *As she cringes in fear, she pulls out a laptop, and a jewel case containing a CD. Written on the CD are the words, "The First Year: The Sorcerer's Stone." She carefully puts it into the laptop, and starts a program. On the screen, there are a lot of words* I'll be "reading" this story to you. So sit back and enjoy my first fanfic.
