Prologue
Author's Notes
 

To help explain this story a little better, Nee and I chose to put up these author’s notes to explain
what we are doing exactly, where some ideas came from and who some of the original characters are.

First off Nee and I are big time role playing game fanatics, so of course we are doing one for this.
However, since it’s just the two of us taking on tons of character, we chose to write it as one large
ongoing fanfic to share with tons of people. We have our own website for it, but seeing so many
fics on fanfiction.net, we chose to also post it here.

We chose to start the RPG in book two because it allowed us to feasibly add any original characters
we wanted that were students without getting them too much younger then the other students. Though
we do play with canon greatly, and have done so with some of the characters. Perfect example is that
instead of being in his fifth year, Oliver Wood is in his third year at Hogwart’s and was named captain
his second year, when Harry and them started. Fred and George are in the same year as Oliver. We
did this so we had as much time to play with them in the school as possible. So that means we get to
write Oliver during the Tri-Wizard tourney and deal with how he feels about >gasp< NO QUIDDITCH
FOR A YEAR!

The pairings:

Draco/Hermione: Well this was a duh based on the summary. This is one of my (Jilly’s) character
pairings. I fell in love with the idea of Draco/Hermione while reading fics here. I am building their
relationship slowly, hence why there isn’t any smut yet. They need to build a friendship first.

Harry/Autumn: Autumn Malfoy is Nee’s creation. She is Draco’s younger sister. Some back history
for her is that she was not a greatly wanted daughter of Lucius Malfoy. Obviously. Draco is her protector
from an abusive father. He is abusive to them both because they aren’t the best in everything, and he
tends to try and be so more towards Autumn cause she is a girl. But Draco loves his sister so he usually
takes her punishments for her. Protecting her from her father’s problems. Autumn is not the typical
Malfoy, whereas Draco tries to be what his father is to please him, but Autumn will set him straight.

Ron/Morgana: Morgana is another of Nee’s. She was brought in at the end of the first year to catch
up so that she can be in the same class with everyone else. More of her history will be revealed later
in the story. If we tell you know, it spoils the surprise. >grin<

Fred/Marissa & George/Alissa: Marissa and Alissa were a combined effort between Nee and myself.
I write Marissa, Nee writes Alissa. The idea behind them is that they are just as big of pranksters as
Fred and George, therefore perfect match. Marissa and Alissa’s family moved to England when their
father was transferred from America. The girls were allowed to come to Hogwart’s, though grudgingly
in Snape’s opinion. Snape worries because they were expelled from their American school for blowing
up the potions lab.

Oliver/Maria: Maria is a Weasley. She is the cousin of the other Weasleys, but unlike them she is not
a pure blood. Her father married a muggle woman that he fell head over heels in love with. Maria is
much like Hermione in that she is a bookworm, but she isn’t seen as very friendly, but she also has
been the brunt of pranks, and tries to make herself invisible. She’s succeeded in that except for pranks
he’s helped with, Oliver doesn’t notice her till their third year when he needs tutoring to keep playing
Quidditch. This idea came from the previews of a Walk To Remember.

Ginny/Terrence: Terrence is actually a canon character. Terrence is the same Terrence Higgs that is
the Slytherin Seeker in Book 1. I am also making him the same age as Oliver so that we can play with
him more. This is a relationship that won’t really happen for awhile. Too many things we need to
establish first, but Ginny will get a crush on Terrence, and he’ll have one on her despite that he’s two
years older, and there will be lots of thoughts, talking to others and bumping into each other, but an
actual relationship won’t happen for a bit.

Dumbledore/McGonagall: Yes they are together, but you have to read to see just HOW they are
together and who their daughter and two grandkids are. If you read the one part close enough that
has them discussing their grandkids, you probably will be able to figure it out. >grin<

Snape/Jennifer: Snape is a nice guy in this, basically. Snape will greatly support Draco and Hermione’s
friendship, and he will even advise Draco to not be stupid. To follow his heart as well, because you
don’t know what you got till its gone. Snape was a Slytherin and in love with a Gryffindor when he
was in school. And it WASN’T Lily Evans-Potter. It was in fact someone much worse to make
James dislike him. James’ younger sister Jennifer. It will be revealed later in the story when Jennifer
shows up why SHE didn’t have Harry instead of the Dursleys.

Rating: yes it is rated NC-17, but we haven’t gotten to that part yet. Obviously. >grin< However, it
will justly have this rating. Right now, we figure that writing through Book 2 our own way is allowing
us to do what Book 1 did for everyone. It establishes our characters and the start of what we are
doing before moving on to other things.

I know a lot of people have been wondering what in the world are we doing with cheerleading? Well
while watching Bring It On’s last major cheerleading sequence, Nee and I both wondered how the guys,
specially Ron, would react to seeing something like that. We also tried to figure out who of the guys and
girls would be cheerleaders. After realizing it really intrigued us, we thought it was perfect to put in.
Competitive cheerleading allowed us to put some characters together that we were wondering HOW
to get them together (mainly Ron and Morgana), but also Lockhart being the pansy… I mean know it
all… I mean worldly (cough) professor that he is, he would want to show off his “knowledge” of this new
sport in honor of the new American students (Marissa and Alissa). Yes well, we try and find twists and
turns all over, it’s what we live for in writing. (Canon? What’s canon?)

Like we’ve said before, we hope you enjoy reading our story, and I hope that this explanation makes it
just a bit clearer. >grin<
