Introduction

Hello everyone!

This is my first published story, and I have been working on a few for quite a while now. But this is my first attempt at a Harry Potter story.

This story is dedicated to the loving memory of my daughter, Crystal 2/15/00 – 8/30/05.

Rest in peace my little girl… Daddy loves you and always will…

DISCLAIMER: The characters in this story except for a couple of my original characters are owned and created by J.K. Rowling. I make NO CLAIM to ownership of the Harry Potter universe. I'm just playing in J.K.'s backyard for a bit. If I have mistakenly copied anyone else's work from here at please let me know so I can contact the person to make sure it is ok to do so. I have attempted to keep this story as original as I can. This is the only time I will post this disclaimer, as I don't want to put the same thing at the beginning of each chapter as it will become repetitive and boring.

Onto the characters:

Harry Potter

Hermione Granger

Ron Weasley

Sharon Carver (Original Character)

John Edwards (Original Character)

Crystal Edwards (Original Character)

Voldemort/Tom Riddle

Severus Snape

Gavin Frost (Original Character)

These are the central Characters of the story. A few more original characters may appear, and the story will include appearances of the rest of J.K.'s characters.

I will not usually ask for reviews since I am one who is guilty of reading with forgetting to leave reviews myself. If you wish to, please leave some. Also please be constructive with the reviews instead of things like "MY GAWD!! YOUR STORY SUCKS!!" If you feel that way, please explain why it does so I can try to make it more enjoyable.

With this out of the way, enjoy the story!

Thanks…
