Prologue

Years before the famous 'boy-who-lived' was born, before his parents, Lily and James were even born, in the generation before Lily and James parents, even, in the days of Harry Potter's great-grandparents, a great evil witch named Adel came upon the magical world. She was part giant, and as such she towered at double the height of mortal wizards and witches, with a long cape of fire-red hair and blank, iris-less red eyes. Adel became feared through the magical world as the most powerful witch of all time, but still she was hungry for more power and went to the very deepest of places and formed deals with the very darkest of wizards until she was able to achieve an ancient power, older and more forbidden then all of the magics of the magical world combined-the powers of the first witch-the SORCERESS. A witch so indestructible, so omnipotent, and so unfathomably evil she had been classified as a Sorceress. This Sorceress had lived thousands of years ago back in the days of Ancient Greece, and her name was Ultemecia. Ultemecia had never died-only disappeared for so long that over the centuries she was more or less forgotten. Adel, however, found a way of awakening her-however the result was not what she wanted, instead of being able to gain Ultemecia's godlike powers Ultemecia, who no longer had a corporeal body, possessed Adel's mind and created a new, horrible Sorceress. Adel, under Ultemecia's control, began her quest to take over the magic world, she slew the heads of the Ministry as though they were nothing, and all around she was feared and obeyed.

She soon took over the entire magical world, except for a small rebellion spear headed by Albus Dumbledore, who had been young then. These few brave people were trying to find some way of overthrowing the tyrannical dictatorship of Sorceress Adel. Adel herself had taken to using the school for young witches and wizards, Hogwarts, as her home, and the children who were not dead, were her mindless slaves. Something had to be done, and thankfully two heroes arose: one was Albus Dumbledore, who started the rebellion, and the other was a young wizard named Laguna Loire, who, at only twenty-seven years of age, had heroically agreed to help Albus in his plan to overthrow the Sorceress. Laguna was a tall and friendly man who was a bit clumsy and enjoyed joking around, had long black hair, and was always a bit of prankster when he went to school. He had a wife named Raine Leonhart, and they had a young daughter named Ellone who had been kidnapped by Adel's followers because she had been born with the extremely rare ability to allow other people to see the past.

Albus constructed a magical device beneath the school of Hogwarts which would imprison Adel in suspended animation for all time once they lured her into it. Laguna did this in a heroic battle against Adel with his friends, Kiros, Ward, Auron, and Albus. The battle was long and hard, Ward was injured so severely that he forever lost his ability to speak and died a few months later. Auron, a brave Auror, died in battle as did Kiros. When all was finished, Laguna and Albus returned home safely with Laguna's five year old daughter Ellone, and Adel was sealed away forever in secret beneath Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

HOWEVER, all was not well in the magical world. Many years later Laguna's daughter Ellone had a son named Squall Leonhart. Squall went to school at Hogwarts and, despite being anti-social and aloof for much of his time there, in his sixth year of school he finally began opening up more and became friends with James Potter, and James' two friends Sirius Black and Remus Lupin. When Squall and James were in their seventh and final year at Hogwarts School the unthinkable happened: although most people have never known it, for it was covered up entirely, the Sorceress Adel began stirring beneath Hogwarts. In her weakened state she could do little on her own, but Ultemecia, who was still in possession of her, was able to reach out with her mind and into the thoughts of others. Ultemecia used her powers to control a Sorceress whose powers had lain dormant as she was a kind woman named Edea Krammer who ran an orphanage for wizard children, many of whom had lost their parents during Adel's reign of terror known as the "Sorceress War." Edea became a symbol of fear and darkness, under Ultemecia's control. However, a small group of students at Hogwarts, who had a habit of breaking school rules and becoming heroes rose up against Edea the Sorceress and forced Ultemecia to abandon her hold on the woman. These students were none other than Laguna's grandson Squall, and his friends. During this time Squall grew more at ease around other people and grew to truly accept James, Sirius, Irvine and the others as his friends. He also grew to fall in love with Sirius' twin sister, Rinoa.

Once Edea was freed, however, the Sorceress set her sights on freeing the powerful Adel, who would also be a suitable host for her powers. To achieve the release of Adel a sacrifice was needed so Ultemecia used her mind controlling powers to possess three students at Hogwarts, all in the Slythrin House. Lucius Malfoy, Severus Snape, and Seifer Almasy were all under Ultemecia's influence and they kidnapped a girl with exceptional magical potential, who had received Edea's Sorceress powers earlier, named who was none other than Squall's Rinoa! Seifer, Severus, and Lucius dragged her down to the school basement where Sorceress Adel was stored away in her eternal slumber. Rinoa's boyfriend Squall Leonhart, and Sirius Black, Rinoa's twin brother, both hurried to rescue her. Their friends James Potter, Lily Evans, Selphie Tilmitt, Irvine Kinneas, Zell Dincht, Quistis Trepe, and Remus Lupin accompanied them. In the end they were able to rescue Rinoa, but not without casualties. Two Slythrin students named Fujin and Rajin had been killed, and Rinoa had permanently been infused with several of Adel's powers, including immortality. She would never age again.

One year later, Rinoa and Squall were married as were Lily and James. Lily and James had a beautiful baby boy named Harry Potter, but it was during dark times when a new evil wizard named Lord Voldemort was rising to power. The evil Voldemort killed Lily and James Potter, but a strange thing happened when he tried to kill their son, Harry. Voldemort suddenly lost all of his power and was reduced to a state of near-death and Harry was left alive, but with a scar shaped like a lightning bolt on his forehead. Sirius, who had been James' best friend, arrived at their house to find everyone but Harry dead, he left Harry in the care of their part-giant friend, the Hogwarts' gamekeeper, Hagrid, and went in search of Peter Pettigrew, who had betrayed the Potter's by telling Voldemort where they were.

Sirius cornered Peter on a crowded street corner, but Peter killed thirteen of the non-magical muggles, and faked his own death. The magic police believed that Sirius had been the one to betray James and Lily Potter, and killed Peter Pettigrew and the muggles, and Sirius was locked away in the terrible wizard prison of Azkaban.

Rinoa and Squall wanted to take care of the now orphaned Harry Potter, as Rinoa's brother Sirius had been Harry's Godfather originally, but Dumbledore advised them that it would be wiser for Harry to grow up in the care of his muggle relatives, the Dursleys.

Harry was sent to live with the Dursleys, who were perfectly normal and hated all things magical with an intense loathing, and as such came to hate poor Harry as well. However, on Harry's eleventh birthday, he received a letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and he left the Dursleys' to make long lasting friendships in the wizarding world.

Together with his friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, Harry was able to defeat the evil Voldemort when he attacked him again through the body of a teacher named Proffessor Quirrel.

When it was time for Harry's second year at the magical castle school of Hogwarts, he could not have known what waited for him there . . .
