  Summary

  Do you ever feel like you want to read Harry Potter for the first time again? This fic’s for you!

  What if losing someone added something to your life instead? What could Harry’s childhood have been like if Vernon Dursley hadn’t been in it? How could Draco’s have turned up if he hadn’t grown up in Lucius Malfoy’s shadow?

  Canon-divergent rewrite of the books, based on how the absence of these two minor, but nevertheless key characters would change things, with OTPs and other liberties taken.
