WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR IN A BETA:

1) I need someone with an exceptional sense of grammar (and patience as I'm not so good with grammar)

2) Looking for someone who can let me know when my characters are becoming too OOC (though at some part everyone will be a little bit as very different people become friends, or as close to friends as they can ever get like in Draco & Harry)

3)Someone who can give me an honest opinion about the story.

BASICS OF THE STORY:

Main characters: Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, a Ravenclaw and a Hufflepuff that I havent decided on yet. These are the heroes.

I've started writing a story based on a challenge where Hermione finds a book telling of an ancient magic that would stand up to just about anything so long as 4 very different people (as in one from each of the houses) leanred to unite in the common goal, there would be nothing that they cant do. Harry has to be the one that kills Voldemort so he would be the Gryffindor, Malfoy is an obvious choice for Slytherin, and the other two are yet undecided.

I'm gonna try and keep this as canon as possible though it will be an AU story due to what happened in HP6 and that not quite fitting with the story line.

I would be interested in betareading your fic, if you're still looking for someone. I'm not the world's best grammar nazi, but i'm sure i can do a good job in getting the odd sentences out - i might know someone else to fix the things i miss Wink

I'm quite good at spelling and plot-stuff though; OOC is a glaring error, so that tends to be the first thing i fix in a fic - so i won't miss the out-of-characterness. (Draco as the spoilt muggleborn-hater, yay! =p)

Please let me know what you think - i'm honest, maybe too honest, as the last fic i betaread needed a major overhaul (the OOCness was uncontainable.)
