Chapter One
Foreword to Slytherin Edition
The first book, The Philosopher's Stone, of the Slytherin Edition Books that I will be writing in fan-fiction form, holds several similarities to the actual Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone book but has an original plot and an entire new path for the main characters. The entire series that I'll be writing will be from the perspective of not one, but four people and the occasional person who is involved who needs say in order to clarify the situation or to help progress the story forward without lengthy paragraphs and boring plot points.
The entire reason for this remake of the series in mine own view is the need for a change in how I write. I grow tired of reading Harry as he is, and need to see him in a new light and I think this is the best way to do that. Although rewriting the story is not entirely original, nor is the concept of having the main character in Slytherin, but the way I'm going about it, will hopefully be original enough. The remake of the main plot, and the addition of several new characters and new feats will hopefully keep you interested as I go back in time and relive the first year of Hogwarts Schooling.
I was inspired to write a Slytherin Harry Potter by the author, Slytherin-Nette who is currently writing the Alternate Adventure Stories: Books I and IV. I recommend reading it, if you're over the age of seventeen seeing as how the book involves several mature themes which is about the only thing I disagree with in the story, seeing as they are only fourteen but to each their own.
The most important thing to note, is that the Second Chapter, Four Emeralds, is merely filler and a rewrite to make light of one of the new characters added. While it follows what happens in the actual First Chapter of the original Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone Book, it is rewritten as to how I think the characters should go about it. Its much less vague, to be blunt. The Third Chapter, Their Seventh Birthday, is a look into the changes in one of the main characters from the actual series and my series, as well as a look at how they react, and how they're different. If you're not entirely blind, you'll probably also catch onto several of their developing powers. Trust me, I'm not trying to hide those powers.
I'd love your thoughts an ideas on how to progress, and I sincerely wish you enjoy spending time reading my story.
