Author's Notes - I know this has been done before and more than a thousand times no less. But I have tried to make it a little different. Give it till chapter 5 and you will see that it is unlike what you have read before, at least for this particular idea. The realism I have tried to show is unlike canon but still revolves around the magical world that we all love so much. This chapter will double as the prologue, and therefore, when you read it, you will have many questions. There will be more than a few things that will not make sense. I will even go as far as saying that they would seem illogical. But trust me, EVERYTHING will make sense in the later chapter(s). Every single thing will be explained. As this is a minor AU, I have not forgotten anything or gotten anything wrong with what I have written. It's simply different than how some elements have been shown in canon. With that said, Enjoy the chapter.
