    Summary

    In another universe of possibilities where the butterflies are busy, young Harry's destiny changes on the twitch of an unwitting stranger's roving eye...

    *

    “I told you, didn’t I? That he left you on the doorstep?” she says bitterly. “On Hallowe’en night, with a note? A note, telling me that your parents… That my baby sister… Had been murdered? The man lives in some kind of self-narrated fairy tale, boy, and he’s decided that you’re his hero. Well, let me tell you something. Your mother and father were heroes. Your world… It was full, by all reports, of heroes, during that war that they kept going on about, and there are precious few of them… Precious few of them… Who were left alive at the end of it. And he was clear, very clear, wasn’t he, when he left you here with instructions that you be kept safe, at the possible - no, definite - expense of my own family… That it wasn’t over?”

    Eleven-year-old Harry says nothing. Petunia Dursley turns her head and looks at him.

    “Don’t be brave, boy,” she tells him fiercely. “Your parents were brave. They died. Be smart. Be smart instead, and live. On your own terms. No one else’s. Ever.”

    Summary

    It’s not like he hadn’t known before now how ruthless Hermione could be. She bloody well set the most feared professor in the school on fire in first year alone. Brewed an extremely regulated, illegal potion under the noses of hundreds of students and several of the most prodigious magical adults know to magical Britain. Punched Draco bloody Malfoy in the face and received no retaliation. Stood between Harry and a man they believed to be a murderer. He had known all these things about her, and yet.

    Yet here he stood, panting in the loo, shocked anew at how much of an absolute badass Hermione Jean Granger actually was.
