Well I thought I'd do this note first.

Here is what happened in the other world.

Bellatrix, not Severus heard the prophecy and decided, after telling voldemort, to take matters into her own hands.  She attacks Lily, before Dumbledore gets the chance to explain the prophecy to James.  Lily is tortured, but Snape, who like in the other universe is still in love with Lily, overheard Bellatrix and Voldemort and came to the rescue, stupifying Bellatrix.  Bellatrix, under veritaserum tells that Pettigrew is the one who tipped them off to the Potter's pregnancy and  their location.  

I hope that clears things up.  I have gone back and forth with this chapter so many times, trying to see if things made sense, if they were all jumbled.  Then I came to the conclusion, that I am writing because I enjoy it, and I want to get my ideas down.  Maybe it doesn't make sense to others, but I have read plenty of fics where things do not make sense. Mine can't be the worse, at the same time it can't be the best, but I'm satisfied because I love writing. :)  Hopefully some people will still find enjoyment in the story.  If you have suggestions, I'll be happy to hear them.  I may at one time come back and rewrite this part.  I knew the outcome, but now to get there.  So now on to the responses to reviews:

SeparatriX:  It is a big mess up.  Sirius should have realized, but then again he might not have know how exactly the pendant worked, or that it could make such a thing possible.  But in any case, yes Sirius should have made himself more clear with his directions. :)

bledding black rose: Glad you found it interesting! Hopefully your questions are answered with this chapter.  Sirius and Remus didnt recognize Harry, because in their world he doesn't exist.  

adge9631: Yes, Harry is in another universe.  Sorry this update took so long.  I could not get my head wrapped around this chapter, although I knew what I wanted to write, it would not get written.

Kenaz Slytherin: I am glad you like it! 

Ca'n Stella: I certainly hope so! I'm a bit out of practice with writing, so I'm hoping I can keep it interesting and make it make sense.

ChristinaAngel: Sorry for the delay in update! hope you continue to enjoy!

Bewitched Hybrid:  It is not a time travel fic, it's a universe hopping fic, as I call them.  I have tried to tweak certain events to make the current situations plausible.  Hopefully I somewhat succeeded. :)

rekahneko:  Here you are! As for harry growing up there, you'll have to wait and see ;)

Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you know that I'm still alivea nd still writing.  I have a few paragraphs written, which is very sad considering it's been a month, but the summer has been busy! Also, I've had a bit of a block.  I know what I want to write, but am having trouble actually writing it, if that makes any sense.  I've been listening to the Harry Potter books, and am on book 5, which is my least favorite. :(  I've had tons of ideas for other stories,  but as I said before no multi-chap story will appear until I'm finished with the one I'm currently working on.  Here's a list though:

The Weasley Twin Secret
I Am Not My Father!
The Best Damn Slytherin
Wands and War Paint
Don't Let Me Go

some of those are oneshots, others would probably be multichap... but! I am determined to finish People We Should Never Meet (formerly A Birthday Wish) first before the multichapter ones, and the one shots can be mingled in as I have been.

Anyway just wanted to let you know I am working on it and hopefully, keep your fingers crossed, I'll post by Friday or Saturday. If you see plot holes, let me know.  I've been trying to work with the lexicon, but for some reason the timeline's won't come up, so I'm trying to get through it by memory.  

So I'm done rambling, it's been a long day. 

Tempted Mischief

bledding black rose: I'm glad you enjoyed it! 

Akua: It probably could be a multi chap. story, and in fact i was thinking about it, but I don't know to what end it would go.  It maybe a few one shots or something, maybe Petunia opening up to her nephew.  Scolding Dudley about his bullying him... it's a possibility, but not one that I'll probably look in to right now, but thank you for your review!  I wasn't sure how well I could get Petunia's character either.  I mean she's kind of well a bitch in the books/movies. I wanted to somehow explain why she is the way she is toward harry, though it no means an excuse for her treatment! I will write more in the future, never fear.

Redrum: Thanks!

adge9631: Thank you! I hope to do so. 


This story was done because it wouldn't leave me alone.  I've been doing a lot of genealogy research lately and it got me thinking about family similarities and that made me think to write this story.  I originally wanted to write one dealing with Harry and mother's day but couldn't find the time and then decided not to.  Anyway hope you enjoyed the one shot :)

First of all big thanks to lj users: ljg765, separatrix, ishling_25, and comak24, and ff.net the bledding rose for their reviews and ideas on the Black pendant.  They were extremely helpful and at times even made me add a little more idea to the story.  The Black Pendant actually originally was not part of the story at all.  Harry was to actually just make a wish and voila in the althernate universe.  I like this better though, because the people in this alternate reality will be somewhat effected by the pendant.  It also causes more conflict to the story, because to get Harry back they'll have to first realize why he's there, how he's there, and how to get him back.  Of course, Harry somewhat unaware of magic, will be totally confused.

Anyway back to review responses!

Rogue7: good thought! he might have, but I think I'll have it that he doesn't. It won't really be addressed I think... because this isn't a story about Sirius and Remus though I heart them to death. <33. Thanks for your review and your thoughts! :D I greatly appreciate them!

ml1993: thank you!!  I have updated, lol.

bleddingblackrose: Excellent ideas! Thank you so much! Hope you enjoy the next chapter!

aerohead1980: thanks, hope you enjoy!!

ancienthistory: Thanks!

adge9631: I already thanked you for your response in my livejournal, but! Thank you for staying with me on this story :)  I would also love to bounce ideas off you, or maybe even send you my chapters first to see what you think?  Even this chapter I'm not sure of, but hopefully it's good enough.


Notes:

Okay so this chapter.  Again not a lot of dialogue, but don't worry that'll come.  Most likely.  For some reason I'm heavy on the internalization of the characters and not so much their conversations. Hm.  I kind of like this chapter, but at the same time I'm unsure.  I was a bit uncertain about having Harry appear with Moony and Padfoot, but that's how it ended up in any case.  I was also going to cut it at Harry blacking out, but instead decided to go on.  Hopefully that was a good decision.

Next chapter will be Lily and James.. and more explanation of what's going on in the alternate reality.  I will say this though, Voldemort is not defeated.  In fact, as cliche as it is, there is no Harry. :/  It would be kind of confusing if there was.  That's all I'll say for now.

I hope you all are sticking with me.  At times I feel uncomfortable with the story as I'm writing it, and wondering if it's really any good.  But! the ideas keep bugging me so I have to write them out! So I feel justified in that, even if no one else cares to read it ;D

I really appreciate anyone reading this, and am so happy if you're enjoying it.

I will not be starting any multichapter stories until I finish this one.  However, one shots might pop up, just like "Something the Same" but that by no means that I have stopped this story! Sometimes it helps me to write a little something else.

Also I have put some of my fics on a website: http://www.freewebs.com/temptedmischief/index.htm

They are mostly mild slash, some are kidfics, and some will never be finished.  I am still in the process of putting stories up.  I will let you know when it is completed.

ALSO: PLEASE REMEMBER THE TITLE FOR A BIRTHDAY WISH WILL CHANGE TO PEOPLE WE SHOULD NEVER MEET.  sorry for the caps wanted' to make it noticeable. :)

Hey everyone who is reading this. :)  I just wanted to let you know I will start on the third chapter probably tomorrow and hope to have it out by this coming Sunday.  Things have been a little hectic right now.  I won't go in to the particulars, but  I wanted to let you know I will update soon. :)  I have the ideas in my head I just have to write it all down.  

Hope you all have a good week!

Only three reviews this time, but that's fine! :D I cherish each and every one, so thank you for taking the time to do so!

adge9631: I am so glad you have continued to read! :) So I have updated sooner than last time! Only took me rougly a week this time, but the chapter is kind of unfinished.. well it's fine where it lies, but could have had more, but I stopped myself because I had some thoughts and no one to share them with.  

bledding black rose: Thank You! I hope the rest of the story is enjoyable for you.  I'm a bit anxious as it's been a while, and I just hope my idea isn't too far over the top.

SeparatriX: I look forward to writing it! I have the ideas in my head, I'm just having trouble working them out and getting them down.  I have conversations all ready, and then I'm like..."how can I get that conversation to take place?" And I already had to cut one snippet out, which was greatly dissapointing to me because I loved it .. in my head anyway. :( Maybe I'll just write it as a short.

And so there are my responses!


As for Part 2.  Okay I know I want the whole alternate dimension to happen. I desperately want Lily and James in the story, and I find it intriguing that Harry will be entering it, not knowing about magic.   I think it's a little different than most? I hope so.  Anyway I stopped where I did, because I wanted to see if the premise of the Black Pendent made sense? I kept fighting myself with it and asking questions such as.. if Sirius had the necklace, why not give it to Remus for his lycanthropy, or to the potters, or to any number of people..  That one is really bothering me.  I do realize my plot holes and problems in the story, lol.  However, I have only me to work it out.. so i was hoping if someone had any ideas? If not, hopefully you all will just take it at face value.  

Also, does everything add up so far? It's been a while since I've read the books, and hp lexicon is a great tool.  I plan on trying to read them over, but I'm currently in the middle of helping sell a house, so that means painting, packing, hauling boxes, and other tiring things.. so please forgive any mistakes I make and let me know. :)  Thanks again! 

Oooh! And for the title:

People We Should Never Meet

or

The Black Pendent

or

Leave it as "The Birthday Wish"

Okay, hi everybody! :D First of all response to reviews which once more thank you so much for! 

Vellouette:  I think I already sent you a response, I hope you received it. If not let me know ,and I'll respond here again.

Anon#1: Thank You! I'm usually pretty bad at keeping characters, well, in character, which is why I try to always warn of OOC.  I do try to make them somewhat believable, but I can't promise it and this is going to turn AU.. so I don't know.  Thanks for reading and hope you enjoy/enjoyed the second half!

J.L.E: I don't think it's silly! And I actually feel complimented, as I know the first line should grab a reader's attention.  It was what made me actually write the story.  I was sitting at my desk at work, and kept having these scenes pop into my head, and I had to really think about how I could get it all into one story.  My biggest fear for this story is that it will come to a point where the reader gets fed up with the changes.  Anyway! I hope my reviewers will let me know if it comes to that point :)  I know I hate it when a story is going very well, and then there's a twist that just makes me go "... are you kidding me?"

Snurre Tom von der Eisenbah...:  I'm sure chapter two seemed even more choppy, but if I were to not make it jump around, I'm afraid i would spend 20k-50k just explaining how the Tuesdays even got started! And that's not really the meat of the story at all.  I just wanted to quickly jump into why things are the way they are.  I understand that Au may not be your cup of tea and I thank you for giving my story a chance, but I will not be offended if you decided to discontinue your reading. :)  I, myself, love AU and alternate reality fics.   I'm not sure whether Remus and Sirius will be together or not.  If they are, it's not really central to the story.  I'll see how the story develops.  Thanks for reading, and I hope it continues to entertain you!

Rogue7: Glad it is interesting to you! Sorry it took so long to get the next part out.  Hopefully it has continued to be interesting to you.

adge9631: I plan on continuing.  I actually wanted to update either every week or every 2 weeks, but as you can see it took me almost a month! But in my defense, it became a lot more complicated than I thought it would.  But I hope I can update more quickly in the future!

thewerewolfgal: I updated as soon as I could! Hopefully the next part won't take so long. :)

thisnewsoul: I'm excited you got excited! It's been a long time since I've tried to write anything this lengthy, and I'm hoping I finish it.  I do have the last lines of the story already written, which is funny because I'm only on part two. lol.   I pretty much just wing my stories.  I have a loose idea and then fill it in.  It sometimes gets me into a world of trouble though.  Thanks so much! I hope you continue to enjoy it!

Rhalkha: And here more is :D

unique.normality: I have continued!



For everyone: For part two of part one I wanted to set up why Sirius is free and it ended up taking longer than I thought.  I know it's a bit disjointed and I definitely recognize that.  However, I didn't feel like I should spend 5 or more chapters on it.  While it's important, it's not that important.  This well end up alternate reality.  I hope that doesn't put some of you off.  I don't know if anyone ever read it, but a few years ago I had something where Harry, as a young child, traveled in time.  This is different, and I hope not so cliche, because I know there's plenty of Harry to different reality stories out there.  I'm hoping mine will have it's own spin on it.  I don't want to give it all away, because what would the fun in that be? Hopefully you'll stick with me in reading this and let me know if it's going well. :)  I just have these very vivid ideas in my head and I wanted them all to be put to use.  My fear is that it'll be too much for one story. Please let me know if it is! I may have to revise my ideas, and save some for a different story, but well... I want this to be as enjoyable to the reader as it is for me to write it.

As for possible story titles:

People that we Should Never Meet

is currently my favorite.  I was listening to my Ipod and the lyrics were "There are people in this lifetime that we should never meet ’Cause to be here now without you Well, my life’s so incomplete ..."  I rather like it and those lines kind of speak for the story, though the rest don't. heh.

Anyway hope you enjoyed and hope you review! :)
