Message-ID: Spoilers Space ahead..... I know I already sent this out earlier this week, but I did so without any spoiler warnings. Also, I asked the Admins to remove the message after I found out about my mistake. So now, I'm submitting it correctly. Please read and review..... Title: Aftermath Spoilers: Everything up to and including The Order of The Phoenix Author's Notes: This takes place immediately after OoTP, where Harry returns with the Dursley's to #4 Privet Drive. Especially now that Harry has time to reflect on what happened the previous year. I'm not sure if ALL wizarding photographs act as Mad-Eye's did, but it's assumed they do. Also, it's also assumed that Sirius was NOT killed with the Killing curse before he fell in to the Veil. Disclaimers: All are owned by J.K. Rowling. Otherwise, I could kiss my student loans goodbye! link: http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1405896 From ms_petra_pan at ms_petra_pan.yahoo.invalid Thu Jul 3 03:38:32 2003 From: ms_petra_pan at ms_petra_pan.yahoo.invalid (Petra Pan) Date: Wed, 2 Jul 2003 20:38:32 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Aid needed on July 26 to finish Braille ed. of OotP in Boston Message-ID: <20030703033832.73228.qmail@...> "The world is moved not only by the mighty shoves of the heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker." -- Helen Keller * * * Y'know, we hear all too often about efforts to take the HP books *out* of communities.

Message-ID: Ok I don't know about you guys, but I've always been way more interested in the marauders than Harry and co, and when JK finishes her series on Harry (which isn't for ages I know) I think it'd be cool if she did a series on the marauders and wondered if anyone else thought this? I've asked on other sites and got a good response, so we've started a petition to JK to show her the support behind the idea...what do you think? It's kinda complicated, but people have been scanning their sigs etc... Anyway if you're interested, the image can be found at: http://profiles.yahoo.com/tempuser3001 You'll need to print it off, fill it in, rescan it or take a digital photo of it, and e-mail it to me at nycbabe3001 at ... If you can't see the pic then e-mail me and I'll send it to you. Thanks By the way, we get a lot of people who say they support the idea but haven't mailed me with the petition; please, please take the time to fill it out, it'll take 2 minutes and we need as many as we can get, the details are above, and you also get to add a postscript to JK on it, they'll all be compiled together onto several sheets of paper, and YOUR signature really does count.

The latest chapter of Harry Potter and the Triangle Prophecy is up on Schnoogle: Chapter 25 Altar The search for Lucius Malfoy, the other escaped Azkaban prisoners and the dementors is on, but finding them is easier said than done. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Sirius and Snape receive the Order of Merlin for their parts in the rescue of the Aurors from Azkaban, but there is more than one surprise at the award ceremony. Meanwhile, Harry and Ginny are not able to celebrate in quite the same way as Ron and Hermione, and try to get Maggie's help in rectifying the situation.

Severus confesses to Dumbledore that he is a Death Eater and begs forgiveness and a chance to help save Lily, James and Harry, targeted by the Dark Lord. Lily feels helpless in the wake of Sam's ruined life, not suspecting that it is all because Sam refused to do Voldemort's bidding concerning her. She does not welcome Severus when he comes to her, trying to warn her about Voldemort, correctly surmising that he is a Death Eater, but not listening to his claim that he is now a spy. James and Lily fight over whether Sirius or Remus is the traitor, each of them starting to think that Peter may be their only hope. go to: http://www.schnoogle.com/cgi-bin/links/jump.cgi?ID=10193 I've also posted Chapter 17 of Lost Generation on the Psychic_Serpent Yahoo group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Psychic_Serpent ) and it should be appearing on Schnoogle soon.
