    Summary

    “They have sold her, a noble Lady of the seven kingdoms, to a whorehouse in Lys.” Lord Swann raged. “I am told her maidenhead alone went for 500 golden dragons. I lay this crime at your feet.” So saying, and recorded incredulously in every surviving account, Lord Swann spat at the foot of the Iron Throne.

    Lord Hightower called for the guards to remove the man. They had to drag Lord Swann out as he yelled his vitriol at the King. His words as he was removed would haunt the rest of King Viserys’s reign. “You have damned her with your inaction. You have abandoned your duty as protector of the realm! You are no King! You are a puppet that does nothing!”

    To this day Viserys I is known as King Viserys, the Do-Nothing King.

    Summary

    “But what are the odds of two people who were born on the same day being genetically identical?” Simon asked. “Plus, everything about us that isn’t identical isn’t genetic, right? Our scars, our glasses…and we’re both missing one parent…”

    Harry finally understood what Simon was implying. “You don’t think -”

    “I do.” Simon looked up at him, a smile spreading across his face. “We’re twin brothers, aren’t we?”

    After a happy but rather mundane childhood with his mother, Harry Evans is desperately excited to go to Hogwarts and finally experience the full magical world. However, what Harry hadn’t been prepared for was meeting the Boy-Who-Lived, Simon Potter. The boy who, strangely enough, was somehow completely identical to Harry, down to the last messy black hair.

    WBWL, but with a Parent Trap style twist.

    The Parent Trap
    by aspionage

    HP WBWL
    Not a classical WBWL story, instead shining example how it could be
    Comprehensible reason for the mixup, maybe even a good reason
    No bashing (!)
    Maybe a bit to long on a Lockhart subplot
