Black Rose [Regulus Black] by synthespian
68 parts Complete
It was 28 June, 1979. The sky was bleak, just like the mood of Wizarding Britain. People were dying every second, innocent children were being dragged from their homes solely for their heritage, and so much blood was spilt that there was more blood than water in the soil. An 18 year old boy stood at the entrance of a cave, his hair swept back and drenched by the gusts of rain and wind. He was shivering because of the cold as the torrents threatened to knock him over, yet his feet remained planted on the ground. He was determined. He could do it. If his single act of bravery could help defeat He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, then he would die trying to do what was needed. STARTED: 13 March, 2022 FINISHED: 20 May, 2025 - My work is under copyright.

And Harry, who survived death and was given a second chance, feels the urge to use his new chance to save lives. Using a Time Turner, he changes the past, saving a certain man from a fate worse than death. He successfully changes history and finds himself in an altered future with new obstacles to overcome. With the promise of righting what was wrong and saving those previously lost, he takes on Hogwarts and all it's hardships, meeting new students and professors who help him on his way.

It has been over a year since the murder of his wife, Lily, and James Potter wishes every day that it is simply a nightmare that he will wake up from. Unfortunately, it isn't and in the wake of her death, James finds himself as a single parent to their son, Harry. The Boy-Who-Lived is known all around the wizarding world as the one to defeat Lord Voldemort on the same night that Lily was killed as the proclaimed "Dark Lord" attempted to rid of the child as well, yet failed. However, James is just trying to do his best in raising Harry in the most normal fashion as he can possibly muster but it's not easy. With one of his former best friends in Azkaban for the betrayal to the Order and his two remaining best friends not on speaking terms, James finds himself drowning in stress. Yet, relief comes in the form of a young woman, named Renata, and their first encounter is nothing short of a chaotic mess. But at the same time, it's the first thing that's made James laugh in months.

What if James and Lily didn't die? What if Voldemort hadn't even gotten the chance to kill Harry? What if the Order has killed Voldemort and James Potter was the one to do it? What if the Death Eaters had never gotten to Neville's family or anyone else. Everything would be different, don't you think? I do not own any of the characters except for Marigold, Everlyn, and Ara.
