WHERE TO GO FROM HERE?
I'm sorry to say, but I will probably never finish this fic. So why publish it? Well, I was hoping someone out there might want to do it for me. I simply do not have the time. I am in the midst of bringing my own original novel to fruition (I'm working on chapter 34 and am only a few chapters away from completing it), as well as teaching my oldest child and taking care of life in general. I simply do not have the time to devote to The Son of the Mark.
So, if you decided to take up the challenge, there are a few conditions, however, you are in no way obligated to stick to them:
Keep it relatively clean-no serious sex or swearing. Violence is OK. A well-written rape scene would be OK (read below). Keep it within the PG-13 range.
If you are to undertake this challenge you will most likely want to read my first (and completed) fanfic-The Mark of War-for background information.
If you take up the challenge, let me know so I can read what you've come up with. Contact me through the review feature on The Son of the Mark and let me know the title you intend to publish under.
Below are my notes on where I intended this fic to go from here. Take what you want, reject what you don't.
Roxanne discovers she is pregnant. She and Sirius weren't planning on any more but what can she do now? She reluctantly tells Sirius about it, expecting him to be upset. But he, as any real man is, is ecstatic. Men just have this thing about a connection between fertility and virility.
Unfortunately, as it will turn out, the baby is not Sirius's. It belongs to the rogue werewolf. Who is the rogue werewolf? Draco Malfoy of course. And of course this won't be found out until well into the book. He has been manipulated by his mother to infect himself with lycanthropy (werewolfism), then infect others and build himself an army of werewolves. He works directly in opposition to Roxanne's efforts to deregulate and normalize the werewolf population. He seeks to sabotage her efforts to find a cure. He seeks to undermine her efforts to help werewolves gain acceptance in the magical community. So how did she become pregnant? Well, remember that night she and Hermione spent in Diagon Alley? The girls' day of shopping? Draco came to her, placed her under a memory charm, transported her out of her room at the inn and raped her. His horrible mother watched the whole thing. Roxanne finds out when she is about 7 months pregnant (around January) and volunteers to help Professor Flitwick demonstrate memory charms and how to undo them. In the middle of class the memory charm Malfoy placed her under is undone and the memories flood back. She is horrified and anguished of course, and doesn't know how to tell Sirius or what to do about the baby! It's far too late for an abortion, but Roxanne would have a difficult time even considering doing that anyway. Why did Narcissa and Draco do this? You have to read The Mark of War to find out.
But what will Sirius's reaction to the baby be? Of course he believes it is his at first. I had thought to keep it that way until the baby is born with silver hair and icy blue eyes, but I liked the idea of the memory charm release in the middle of a class. I had not decided exactly what Sirius' reaction will be. Have fun with that.
And Harry's role in all this? Obviously it will be a final confrontation between he and his hated school enemy whom he hasn't seen since Draco left Hogwarts after the death of his father (See The Mark of War on this site).
I had thought of introducing a new character-an aged auror who spent much of his career hunting noncompliant werewolves. He is a dark character who hates werewolves. He knows who Roxanne is, who she was married to, who fathered her twin sons, and detests the work she is doing to fight lycanthropy (werewolfism). But Roxanne finds she has no choice but to ask for his help to track down the rogue. He, better than anyone living, knows the mind of the werewolf-particularly the criminal one.
And the twins? They will go off to school in America, but will become endangered by Draco when he travels there looking for them. He thinks it a fitting revenge against Roxanne to infect she and Remus' sons with the very disease she seeks to put an end to. Can Harry and Sirius and Roxanne save them? Can they protect them? Can they get them out of the U.S. in time? How can they hope to keep them safe and still let them live normal lives?
I thought it an awesome twist to have Snape as Minister of Magic and Sirius as Headmaster. Severus is, as we all really know, a good guy.
So that's it! I hope someone takes the challenge! This might be a good place for an aspiring fanfic fan to get started writing their own!
