So, an idea for a fic came to me a couple weeks ago, but I haven't really gotten any inspiration, so I thought I'd post the idea up here as a challenge, of sorts, for anyone who wants to try it. There's no set pairing, no set anything, really, as long as it focuses on the Unspeakables.
Here's the 'line' - and I use that term loosely - that popped into my head all those weeks ago:
'Ages before anyone had heard of Hogwarts, there was a wizard who triumphed over evil time and again. Long before there were recorded prophecies, this one wizard was shaking the world with his chosen king and falling to a fate pre-written.
Centuries before Hogwarts' 'greatest Headmaster' was born, there was a tale made of four great powers coming together to do what none had dared do before. Of their triumphs and downfalls and the ending of it all.
Decades before the creation of the prophecy that would control one child's life and end the life of a different man, there was a name passed about that would salvage the wizarding and muggle worlds alike by taking down the one German power. A name that would mark history books for centuries to follow his dive off a high tower.
So close, yet so far, to the day we currently hold dear to our hearts, there was a woman's voice speaking of a child born to defeat a deadly darkness. Or be defeated in return.
And, in the centre of it all, sat the infamous 'Department of Mysteries'. A hallowed ground in the pit of Muggle London that held the greatest secrets of our past, our present, and our future.
And the one name passed down to protect these secrets?
The Unspeakables.'
If you do write a fic for this, lemme know, eh? I'm always interesting in a distraction that isn't my homework.
Speaking of.... *scampers off*
