Betas
I am looking for two betas. I am looking for someone who can brit pick as well as improve on plot. Looking for someone who has a keen eye for spelling and grammatical errors. I need people who are not afraid to be brutal. If something sucks, or doesn't make sense I need them to tell me. The prologue of the story is below. If you have questions email me at k_austin21@hotmail.com or reply to this post.
Prologue
Harry Potter was a normal boy. Well as normal as a boy could be with magical powers and a scar on his forehead. A scar he received by defeating the darkest wizard of the century. I guess he wasn’t so normal after all. Oh well, normal is overrated anyway.
I suppose you are wondering how a not-so-normal boy defeated a very dark and fearsome wizard who called himself Lord Voldemort. Oh, I am afraid I forgot to mention that Harry was only a year old when this happened. I swear my mind just gets away from me sometimes. Anyway, I’m sure you don’t want to hear about my old age, so I will get back to the story. Of course, if you want to know I will be happy to tell you. No? Oh well, Harry is used to always being in the spotlight.
Eleven years ago is when our story starts. Not mine, Harry’s. I’m far too old. Anyway, James and Lily Potter of Godric’s Hollow had a little boy on July 31, 1980. A little boy by the name of Harry James Potter. He had the brightest green eyes. Both Lily and James loved Harry very much. They were willing to do anything, or sacrifice anything for their baby boy. Even their lives.
When Harry was a year old, James and Lily were sent on a small mission on Halloween. They left their precious baby boy in the care of their good friend and secret keeper, Peter Pettigrew. That night, the unthinkable happened. Lord Voldemort attacked the Potter residence. Peter Pettigrew, the Potter’s last resort for a babysitter, sold the Potter’s hiding place over to Voldemort.
Voldemort killed Pettigrew upon entering the Potter household (after all he was nothing more than a wimp of a man). Even though, unfortunately, James and Lily Potter weren’t there, Voldemort was still determined to finish off his enemy (according to the prophecy). But when Voldemort cast the unforgivable killing curse at the small boy, something strange happened. The curse did nothing to Harry other than leaving a small lightening bolt scar on his forehead. The curse ‘rebounded’ onto Voldemort, vanquishing him. It is suspected that the love Harry’s parents had for him saved him, even though they were unable to be there physically.
Well, that pretty much sums up why Harry isn’t a normal boy. No matter how much he may want to be. I swear, my mind is forgetting more and more everyday. Harry is a mate of a vampire. That’s what brought this whole story up. Like I said before though, normal is overrated.

I know the begininng doesn't seem serious, but it is. I will explain in more detail to any interested persons. I have the first couple chapters written, and an outline for most of the story.
Thanks
