Final Author's Note:
Greetings everyone, its good to finally be back and ready to post my long under construction story: Harry Potter and the Prophecy War. Since it's been several months between the first installment and this sequel I feel that I should probably set a few things up. This is certainly not a story that will make sense if you are coming at it from a Book Six perspective.
Harry Potter and the Bearers of the Light replaces Book Six and sets the stage for this story. There are many aspects of magic and how I treat it that won't make sense if you try to apply the rules set down in the real Book Six. A few differences:
*There is no side along or co-apparation in this story. Each person can only apparate themselves, no one else. This only makes sense if you ask me, otherwise why wouldn't Lily have simply grabbed baby Harry and apparated away when Voldemort attacked? Why wouldn't the guards who came to bring Harry to Grimmauld Place simply have apparated him rather than take a long risky broom flight?
*Portkeys can be blocked in a variety of ways, which I attempt to explain as I go along. Basically, you can block them one way, both ways, or employ a selective blocking. It's the only way I could think of to remain consistent with the crazy portkey usage in and out of Hogwarts.
*Fudge is still around, which may or may not bother people so I thought I'd mention it.
*Magic is considerably more powerful, but hopefully not illogically so.
*This story mostly revolves around war and in my opinion is much darker than Light Bearers was.
That is not by any means an exhaustive list, but hopefully most of the story when read in conjunction with Light Bearers will explain itself. I don't know how rapidly I will post this, but seeing as how the story is already written it will be rather quick. The only constraint on how fast I post each chapter will be schoolwork, which is considerable for me at the moment, and the possibility that I will be taking a few short trips that may deny me computer access for a day or two at a time.
In that spirit of not posting every day let me tell you that I won't be posting the first chapter of Prophecy War for a few hours. The reason behind this is 1. It's really late right now where I live and 2. People who have not ever before read Light Bearers are now encouraged to do so (shameless promotion finished) and people who have might possibly want to re-read it since it has been a long time. Thanks for your patience and for all the many wonderful reviews that I have received over the months. I can only hope that you will all have as much fun reading this story as I have had writing it. As always, if you've seen it in Harry Potter I don't own it.
