Death had always walked beside her, a shadow stitched to her soul. She fought. She won. But what was left to claim? The castle around her - the only home she had ever known - was crumbling into ruin. Stone shattered under fire. Bodies carpeted the ground, faces she would never forget, lives she had failed to save. Victory meant nothing when it was built on a graveyard. She was alone. And worse, she was alive. She had died before. Had died and returned, as if cursed to never know peace, cursed to be the master of death, forever hunted by the thing that should have claimed her. Death It was her shadow, her lover, and her tormentor. It whispered to her in the silence, tugged at her with every breath she drew, a cat playing with its prey, savoring the chase. She tried to undo it - to tear a hole in time, to claw back 46 hours, to steal even one life from the jaws of death. But time does not bargain with the broken. It is a vengeful thing, wild and cold. It seized her, flung her not back 46 hours but 46 years, into a past dripping with shadows and secrets. The castle stood whole then - but the rot was already there, festering beneath the stone. And Death, patient and cruel, was already waiting for her in the cracks of the world, ready to finish what it had begun. Smiling at her from the darkness.

She woke beneath a willow tree, deep in the Forbidden Forest-alone, disoriented, and with no memory of who she was. Only the pulse of magic in her veins. Now known as Thalia Morwen, she enters Hogwarts as a fifth-year transfer from Ilvermorny. It's a cover story-one even she isn't sure she believes. The spells come naturally, the castle feels strangely familiar, and the shadows seem to recognize her before anyone else does. There are whispers in the walls. Creatures in the dark that stir when she passes. And one boy in particular who watches her too closely. Tom Riddle is calm, calculating, and doesn't believe her story for a second. But some truths are better left forgotten. And some monsters aren't the ones in the forest.

❝There's a darkness on the edge of town...❞ There was a darkness coming. A war to end all wars, an evil that was rising with nothing that could stop it. The Order of the Phoenix was reassembling, and this time, they have a weapon far greater than anything they could've produced; a weapon that would defeat Lord Voldemort. A weapon no one knew about. Her. [ book 1 - completed ] [ order of the phoenix - half-blood prince ] [ harry potter ] [ written by heidi© ]

Anna Watson's life was far from easy. A battle with cancer left her frail, defeated, and questioning her life's meaning. Her final moments were filled with regret for dreams unrealized and paths untaken. But when death embraced her, it wasn't the end-she awakened in an entirely new world: the wizarding world of Harry Potter. Yet, this wasn't the familiar era of Harry, Ron, and Hermione. She found herself in the time of the Marauders, a generation before the golden trio. Even more shocking, Anna had a new identity: Petunia Evans, the famously non-magical, bitter sister of Lily Potter. But this Petunia is different. Born as Lily's twin, Anna retains her memories of her past life and discovers she has magic-a shocking divergence from the character she once read about. Her magical abilities open up opportunities and challenges, not only for her but for her relationship with Lily, her new family, and the unfolding story of the wizarding world. As Anna navigates Hogwarts alongside the Marauders, Severus Snape, and her own twin, she realizes that the story she once knew is shifting. Her choices ripple across timelines, altering destinies and alliances. Struggling to reconcile her knowledge of the future with her growing affection for this new life, Anna must decide: should she preserve the world's fate or carve out a new destiny for herself and those she loves? In this thrilling twist on the Harry Potter universe, the story explores themes of second chances, sibling bonds, and the weight of choice, painting a vivid and detailed picture of what might have been if Petunia Evans had the magic to change it all.

She was never meant to exist in this time. But without her, none of them would have. In the final battle of Hogwarts, a stray curse strikes Hermione Granger's Time Turner, hurling her decades into the past-straight into the heart of the First Wizarding War. Blood-adopted by the Potters and going by the alias Lyra, she finds herself among a generation not yet broken by war: James and Lily, Sirius, Remus... and Regulus Black. As she navigates shifting alliances, manipulates Death Eater politics, and dismantles Horcruxes before they're even made, Hermione refuses to let another generation die for a war they never chose. But rewriting history comes at a cost, and the more she changes, the less room time has for her. Falling for Regulus Black was never part of the plan. Neither was becoming a myth. A story about sacrifice, second chances, and the quiet power of choosing peace. Because not every hero is remembered-some are erased to make room for the lives they saved.

"I don't ever ask you where you've been And I don't feel the need to Know who you're with I can't even think straight but I can tell That you were just with her And I'll still be a fool, I'm a fool for you Just a little bit of your heart Just a little bit of your heart Just a little bit of your heart is all I want Just a little bit of your heart Just a little bit of your heart Just a little bit is all I'm asking for I don't ever tell you how I really feel 'Cause I can't find the words to say what I mean And nothing's ever easy That's what they say I know I'm not your only But I'll still be a fool 'Cause I'm a fool for you Just a little bit of your heart Just a little bit of your heart Just a little bit of your heart is all I want Just a little bit of your heart Just a little bit of your heart Just a little bit is all I'm asking for I know I'm not your only But at least I'm one I heard a little love is better than none" In which a famous girl from our world dies and is reborn as Hermione Granger during the unpetrification process and eventually falls in love with Fred Weasley.

Something about the Granger girl fascinated Voldemort... so much so that he traded his most valuable prisoner for her. A wartime Volmione loosely based on Beauty and the Beast 🥀

War. They had dragged her into it, wrapped her in prophecy, and painted her as some messiah with a target on her back, all to clean up their mess. She was supposed to fight their battles, die their hero, and leave the world tidily saved. But Alexandrina Potter didn't give a damn about anyone's savior fantasies anymore. It should have ended. She did her duty, paid in scars and losses, and tried to make her peace. Yet here she was, tossed back nearly three decades by a smugly amused Lord Death, dumped into the year 1958 with a son she'd kept hidden from the world and a blood-adopted daughter who carried a legacy darker than any shadow she'd ever faced. Thomas Alexander Potter, three years old, bright-eyed, her heart's calm anchor. And Delphini Lilith Potter, fierce, sharp, and bound to her not by fate but by Alexandrina's own stubborn defiance of it. They were hers, and damn it, that meant something. Her goals were simple, if slightly ambitious: avoid meddling wizards, rewrite the future, and raise her children without the looming threat of war breathing down their necks. Shouldn't be too hard, right? She'd already defeated one megalomaniac. What was a little time travel, a few impossible odds, and the chance of crossing paths with Tom Riddle when he was still just a snake-eyed schoolboy with delusions of grandeur? Life had given her a second chance-no more, no less. And she was bloody well going to use it. Most Impressive Ranking #1 enemiestolovers out of 117K stories
