Harry Potter and the New Professor: An Alternate History of Harry's Fifth Year
Ever wonder what might have happened had Fudge brought an Auror to the school for security at the end of Goblet of Fire, and not a Dementor? How would it change things? What would he do if Barty Crouch survived and not only testified to him, but to the entire Wizengamot? This story looks at how such a divergence would impact Harry's fifth year at Hogwarts, one in which Fudge is not working against him and Dumbledore but is working with them. We get a very different year, with a new professor instead of Umbridge, a new look at Snape, a closer look at international wizarding ties, and above all a very satisfactory character arc for Neville Longbottom.
