FOREWORD

This is derived from an old idea for a story I had ages ago. Elements of that story would eventually appear in A Third Summoner, but I originally intended it to be a crossover with Final Fantasy VI, and then, later, with Final Fantasy IV. I eventually decided to start another crossover, but with a different starting point. I want to try and vary where I start my Harry Potter stories. Many of them begin at the beginning, but that gets old after a while, and I've been trying to vary that with my latest crossovers.

The starting-point and the general mood of the beginning takes some cues from Bobmin356's excellent fic The Queen Who Fell to Earth, though unlike that story, this will be one of the few Harry Potter stories where I engage in significant amounts of bashing, particularly of Dumbledore (Sins of the Father, to date, is the only other one, and I am taking some cues from that story as well). I find that much harder to do than reconstructing the man, but I felt an evil Dumbledore was required of this work. Once we get to a certain point, there'll be few Harry Potter characters in this work, with those who will play a larger role all going to the world of Final Fantasy VI.

Anyway, time for the usual disclaimers. Firstly, there will be spoilers for Harry Potter and Final Fantasy VI.

Secondly, I will be using annotations, as with all of my fics. You have been warned.

Thirdly, due to the darker story elements, this will be an M-rated work. Final Fantasy VI, after all, is one of the darker instalments of the series. There will be language, violence, and at least one suicide attempt. Again, you have been warned.

Finally, the following is a fan-written work. Harry Potter and Final Fantasy VI are the properties of their respective owners. Please support the official release. Otherwise, Kekfa will make you die screaming.
