Story Notes:
This is an AU story, so some things will happen out of order (e.g. introduction of minor characters, who knows what spells when, that sort of thing). Keep in mind that this is occurring at the beginning of Harry's second year, as indicated in the summary, but not all things happen along the canon timeline. For one thing, Snape's no longer a spy, Harry is beginning to be troubled by nightmares, and Occlumency lessons are already planned.
Try not to get too panicked by details like these. They were necessary for certain aspects of the storyline, but I don't think they're major changes. That said, yes, the Basilisk will appear (in later chapters) but, as you'll see, it won't make its appearance as it did in the book.
Hope you still enjoy the story, despite the differences from canon. (Hey, if it were identical to canon, it would be CoS!)
