    Summary

    Harry Potter has spent years teaching others how to survive the Dark Arts. Only to wake up one morning in 1942, staring at a younger, sharper version of the war he thought he'd left behind. Now, as the new Defense professor, he faces a different kind of battle: not against Tom Riddle, but for him.

    Because if a boy can be made into a Dark Lord, perhaps he can be unmade, too.

    Summary

    The world believes Neville Longbottom is the Boy Who Lived. A prophecy fulfilled, a Dark Lord defeated… or so they say. But while one child was hailed as a saviour, another vanished into smoke and silence.

    Raised far from the spotlight, under the wary protection of a fugitive godfather and a war-worn werewolf, Harry grows up on the margins of magic and myth. What follows is a slow, burning journey of identity: of a boy searching for a name, for truth, for belonging, and eventually, for justice.

    This is not the story of a chosen one raised to glory, but of a child forgotten, who learns to carve his place in a world that never expected him to return. As war looms once more, Harry must decide who he is beyond prophecy, beyond even the name he was given.

    Spanning seven parts, this canon-divergent series explores love, loss, and the strange alchemy of growing up. There is grief here, and anger, and the quiet courage of those who rebuild what was broken. But there is humour, too, threaded through found family and sharp dialogue… a story not only of magic, but of meaning. A story not of destiny, but of the names we earn and the ones we choose.

    Book Two in progress.

    Summary

    Murtlap essence gets expensive, so the DA seeks out other forms of pain relief to help those who suffer through detentions with Umbridge. While searching through the Forbidden Forest, they stumble upon a patch of an odd, non-magical plant called “cannabis.”

    Elsewhere in the British Isles, Voldemort prepares for an important meeting.

    Or: Harry doesn’t know what weed is, and Voldemort suffers the consequences.
