Hey, there, readers! It's me again. This time I'm bringging you a very special first look at "Harry Potter and the Gift of the Phenicia." This story, along with another, yet unnamed, story, is adapted from a roleplay here on Fanpop. The story features Hailey Potter, from "In The Background," and Vesta.
It's been a week since Harry defeated Voldemort yet again. The Potter twins have earned that much peace, at least. But Fate seems to have other plans for Harry and Hailey. Just outside Hogwarts, a new evil is rising, the Darklings. Vesta's secret could put them all in danger. How will they survive THIS time?
That there is the official summary. It may have to be modified for the fanfiction.net edition, but that's the gist. The original roleplay can be found at link. You can also see an original draft of the first chapter there. The following is an excerpt from the prologue, which does not exist in the roleplay.
[i]The fool Tom is dead. This is my chance. My chance to rise. I must kill the Phenicia before my…sister…can show them the extent of their power. Those meddling twins could ruin it all.[i] Lilith strode across the field, her mind full of thoughts. Her Darklings were more than willing to serve her purposes. At first, that had entailed killing her twin sister, Vesta. Now, it was destroying the Phenicia.
If she, Lilith, was to rise, then the Phenicia had to fall. It was all due to a prophecy Vesta had made many years ago, during the fool Tom's first rise to power.
[i]One shall rise,
And one shall fall.
But both shall fly.[i]

((Just so you all know, this is only a small part of the whole chapter. I'm particularly proud of this bit, as you'll soon see. Keep watch for an exclusive interview between The Fanfic's own Rita Skeeter and yours truly!))
Harry looked down at the long list of Quidditch hopefuls. "Hailey, I don't see your name on here. I thought you'd sign up."
Hailey looked up from her eggs, smiling. "I'd rather leave Quidditch and rule-breaking to you. That IS what you're best at, after all," she said simply.
Harry only rolled his eyes. She could tell he hoped she had some of Dad's Quidditch talent, but she wasn't eager to prove it. After all, her family had enough publicity as it was.
((Now, this is only a teeny bit of the chapter. The real thing'll be a lot longer. But you'll have to wait quite a while for it.))
