FOREWORD

As I begin this, I have already finished Henry Ashford and the Goblet of Fire. That story took a while for me to complete, but after a certain point, the chapters just started flowing out of me. It was also the first story where I had decided to do a darker Harry, albeit one who was dark, but with good intentions.

It was my intention, sooner or later, to bring Henry Ashford (as a Harry Potter adopted by Alexia Ashford), along with his friends and family, into the events of the Resident Evil games proper. However, unlike the frankly more B-movie aspects of the games, this story will flesh out the struggles between the different factions of Umbrella (particularly between Alexia's current regime, and those like Albert Wesker and William Birkin), as well as having something that many will look askance at: STARS collaborating with Umbrella, or at least Alexia's faction. Not exactly willingly, but even so, more than in the games, simply because Alexia wants to keep her nose clean, and is willing to treat with the enemies of her enemies within Umbrella. This work will cover the events of Resident Evil 0 and Resident Evil, while in all likelihood, the sequel to this work will cover the next two games.

Some disclaimers. Firstly, this is an M-rated work for various reasons. There will be many disturbing themes, violence, horror, and the like. It is Resident Evil, after all. You have been warned.

Secondly, there will be a number of annotations, and I don't want to hear any bellyaching.

Thirdly, there will be spoilers for both the games and the Harry Potter books. However, there will be no bashing, or at least a bare minimum at most. The Harry Potter characters have their bad points, sure, and these will be highlighted. But they also have their good points.

Finally, this is a fan-written work. Resident Evil, Harry Potter, and the characters and scenarios are property of their respective owners. Please, support the official release. Otherwise, Marcus will swarm you with leeches…while singing badly.
