Summary: Ancient magic says that if an innocent magical child is in danger, The Fates may choose to send down two adults: one to guide the child to a guardian, and one to guide the guardian to the child. When the two guides meet again, they will be brought back to the Afterworld, and the child will be left with its destined guardian. No form of authority can come in between this Fated bond.

Story Notes:
This story is AU. It takes place in a world where Voldemort was destroyed in the first war, and his destruction had nothing to do with Harry Potter. Harry's parents were, however, killed in the war, and Harry, like so many war-orphaned children, was sent to live with other relatives--namely, his aunt and uncle.

1. Burn by writeurlife [Reviews - 5] 
(1656 words) 
Probably the most violent scene in the story, although I don't have the entire thing penned yet. Also, character death here.
2. Scotch by writeurlife [Reviews - 6] (1164 words)
3. Fatigue by writeurlife [Reviews - 5] (2257 words)
not a warm and fuzzy chapter. I realize that Harry doesn't exactly sound like a nine year old in this chapter, but bear with me--that will be explained/developed in later chapters.

I'm heading on vacation tomorrow and won't be able to write for a while, so I wanted to get this up before I went. Enjoy!
