Harry Potter and the Babylonian Deity: A Harry Potter/Sinister Crossover Fan Fiction Story

Image
Picture done by me, May 2016 *Author’s Note:   This short story is a crossover between two movies, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (and the other movies) and Sinister.   I do not own the rights to either movie.  Most of the events in the story take place two years before Harry got his Hogwarts letter, and it takes place when Ellison Oswalt published his first book Kentucky Blood —so it takes place before the events in the first Sinister movie.  As this story jumps back and forth in time, pay attention to the year so you can keep it straight.  This story is probably more geared to Sinister fans.  Harry Potter fans may not like what I’m doing with their characters, as to make them fit the Sinister theme, I’m making them less admirable.  There may be spoilers to the movies. If anyone is interested, I'm also doing an audiobook of this story on one of my Youtube Channels.  Here is the link for the first video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0SfyaKeTD4 CHAPTER
