The Essence Books
Summary: Sirius Black has escaped Azkaban. The Dementors are guarding Hogwarts. One gets too close to Harry. Rather then losing his soul he is given books. Seven to be exact. They are the Essence Books. They tell the tale of what was, what is and what will be. Follow Harry's journey as he learns more about himself, his family and the Dark Lord.
Main Characters: Harry Potter, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black (eventually)
Side Characters: Albus Dumbledore, Minerva McGonagall, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley
Rating: T (mainly for language)
Warnings: None that I can think of currently.
Genre: General, Family
AN:So, this story was previously up on ff.net but was removed. I thought I'd give this site a chance.
This story is my first foray into writing fanfiction, but I have been reading it for years. Constructive criticism and suggestions are appreciated.
I'm looking for a beta who would be willing to not only read things over but to listen to ideas I have and help me sort out the good from the bad, because they all sound good in my head.
This story was inspired by showstopper92's Harry's Life Story Even Though He Doesn't Like It. I haven't seen many RtBs that take place during third year and I like the idea of a younger and more innocent Harry reading the books with only a select few. I feel that sometimes with so many characters included in the readings some get lost among the crowd or else they seem forced in order to have them included.
I hope I can make this as original as possible, but considering the number of RtBs out there (or at least used to be out there), and the fact that I've read a good number of them, I feel that there will probably be similarities to other people's work. I mean let's face it. There are only so many ways a person can react to a comment and/or action. My only hope is that the interactions between my characters outside of the reading (and occasionally during it) will be original enough to keep you interested.
This story will include Harry/Remus bonding and somewhere down the line Harry/Sirius bonding. To answer the inevitable question that is sure to come up this will eventually be canon pairings. But that does not mean I'm not going to have the characters see other people and I will not have them read that they end up married to someone and all of a sudden realize they are in love. The students are still young and will date a few people before settling down with someone and since I doubt Remus has met Tonks at this point in the story he is not going to realize that he's in love with a woman he never met. I'm not even sure if there will be romance as I've never written it before and wouldn't want to screw it up.
Thank-you for taking the time to read this, I hope it didn't bore you too much. The story will start in the next posting.
