I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER
Once Upon a War is an alternate universe of Harry Potter, where I've reimagined iconic characters and their stories. Harry's a Desi Muggle Born raised in Canada. Hermione Lestrange is the daughter of Rodolphus and Bellatrix Lestrange, and their enemies-to-lovers arc is everything. Some things will feel familiar, but there will be a lot of new twists that make this world uniquely mine. If you're here for something different, you've come to the right place! 🌙
He was born of fire and grief.
She was born of power and prophecy.
This is not a love story. Not at first.
Hari "Harry" Jaidev Potter is a Desi Muggleborn boy raised in a house filled with warmth, Hindi and Urdu lullabies, and loss. Orphaned by the war Voldemort waged on innocence, he carries both trauma and magic in his blood - the first of his family to ever step foot in Hogwarts, hidden in the forests of Ottawa.
Hermione Geneviève Lestrange is a French pureblood heir, daughter of Rodolphus and Bellatrix, born to rule and raised to believe that blood defines worth Cold. Brilliant. Dangerous. She sees Muggleborns as less - until a fire-eyed Gryffindor challenges everything she's ever known.
When a centuries-old prophecy awakens and war threatens to rise again, the two most unlikely students - a boy with no name and a girl with too many - must decide who they want to be:
Enemies by legacy?
Or partners in defiance?
Together with Gryffindor Neville Remus Lupin and Luna Pandora Lovegood, they form the Golden Quartet - four students bound by fate, found family, and the undeniable magic of choice.
Love will bloom.
Blood will burn.
And history will remember their names.
✨ Because once upon a time, in a world of war... a Muggleborn made a Lestrange believe in love.

"You were raised to hate me," he whispered.
"And yet here you are, bleeding for me."
She met his eyes.
"Maybe I was never truly theirs."
