New Author's Note:

I have decided to post what I have written of chapter 7 (as soon as I retrieve it from the old compy ~_^), and will make note of the last day updated below, so that y'all will know when I've written anything new.

Also, I do use song lyrics a bit, especially in chapters 2, 4, & 6.  I hope this doesn't bother anyone.  I've added a few comments on the chapters next to the links below - just a little insight into my feelings about the chapter.

Finally, this is now officially an AU (alternate universe) & pre-OotP fic.  I will stay as true to canon through GoF, and may include some OotP trivia.  However, I will say that I'm quite proud of the things I did foresee about OotP, yet was very disheartened that I was wrong about what the order was.  Many yes-you-told-me-so's are in order (pun not intended).

Original Author�s Note:
This fanfic represents my theories and desires for what is to come in the Harry Potter books, whose characters were born in the amazing mind of J.K. Rowling. Apart from that, I have been inspired by other fanfics that I keep up with (most of which can be found on HarryPotter.com�s message boards and on fanfiction.net), and some of my favorite songs (I may delve into some song fic at some point in this story, but I�m not sure yet�we�ll see how it goes). So if you notice something that seems familiar, I ask you to remember two things:
1) great minds think alike, and
2) imitation is the highest form of flattery.

With that said, let the ficcy begin�
