To potential betas, readers, and fan artists:

I am looking for semi-permanent betas for this fanfic. I need beta-ing for writing style, story flow, and integration of HP characters in the LP universe.

Preferably, the betas will return one beta-ed chapter to me within 3-4 days. I prefer four chapters commitment. So far, my chapters are approximately 900-1200 words each. Exceptions: Chapter 21 will be 1400-2800 words, and chapter 26 will be 1700-3400 words.

The entire wizarding world, with the exception of Dumbledore, has no knowledge of Harry Potter's existence. When Harry turns twelve, he finally comes into contact with Hogwarts and the wizarding world. However, he is left with an unfavorable impression and decides to return home.

On his way home, he encounters a stranded Snape in the middle of the Sahara desert. "Please sir," asks Harry, "draw me an owl…" Snape finds himself staring into the face of his worst enemy. He then suspects that Harry is a hallucination created by his wormwood and nutmeg tea.

A pilot stranded in the desert awakes one morning to see, standing before him, the most extraordinary little fellow. "Please," asks the stranger, "draw me a sheep." And the pilot realizes that when life's events are too difficult to understand, there is no choice but to succumb to their mysteries. He pulls out pencil and paper...And thus begins this wise and enchanting fable that, in teaching the secret of what is really important in life, has changed the world forever for its readers.

Preferably, the betas will return one beta-ed chapter to me within 3-4 days. I prefer a minimum of four weeks/four chapters’ commitment. So far, my chapters are approximately 900-1200 words each. Exceptions: Chapter 21 will be 1400-2800 words, and chapter 26 will be 1700-3400 words.

Please contact me and tell me which four weeks you are available for beta-ing. I prefer consecutive four weeks, but it doesn't have to be.
