The Secrets of Hogwarts

Places like Hogwarts have secrets.Secrets that are as recent as yesterday morning or as far back as the site’s founding.There are those who have access to some of these secrets. A majority of which, however, will probably never be known, most of them innocently created.And then there are secrets that are … not so innocent. And it is these secrets that probably should have stayed buried.But, as some will discover, secrets – no matter their nature – eventually have to see the light of day.

Disclaimer: Nothing other than OCs and plot are mine.AN: Okay. This is it.The story that started it all.Everything that has happened up to this point has been leading up to this story and it will influence everything after.Even though at this time - March 27, 2020 - the story is not complete, I really hope you enjoy reading this as much as I'm enjoying creating it.You might find that this seems to be all over the place – and it could very well be -, but there are just so many things that need to happen in this story and there are different plotlines going on at any given time. This story is why the Summer Contacts series even exists and I need to have everything just so in order to make anything make even the remotest sense both here and going forward.There will be times where you ask yourself why something is even included, but there is a reason that might not be apparent until later. Please be patient. It will all unfold in due time.There might even be times where you either want to rage in anger or burst into tears or even refuse to sleep with the lights off in your room and I sincerely hope that you do. It is going to be a ride of a story and I hope to have things progress to the point where you reach the end and go back to see things and ask yourself how in Merlin’s name you missed it the first time.There are so many things that need to happen in this story the way they happen and I hope you stick with it until the end because it will all be completely worth it.But Please Note:There are things that I will not warn you about.There are things that will shock you and shake you and might even trigger you.I am sorry in advance about that, but this is a choice that I have made because actual physical books do not give you a choice to know what happens in the book before you start it.There will, however, be things that will hit close to home. Possibly even due to COVID-19, since this was written/planned long before 2020 and will not be changed as a result.Edit: 8/14/23: There is a companion story called Extra Points and I'm starting to consider including a 'Final Review' chapter for everyone who decided against joining this adventure but would still like to continue with the series. I'm not planning to include every detail because reading the story as it comes out is preferable - especially since it's going to be A While until I can get that far -, but my hope is that readers might be more comfortable with the Spark Notes edition in hand before choosing to come back and read the story with more details and inside jokes than I'm putting in the review. From this point on, ** Reader Discretion is Advised **. This is the story that I would've loved to read when I was a kid. Hopefully, the inner kid in all of you enjoy it just as much.
