The Wizarding World had their hero, Harry Potter, The Boy Who Lived. But who they didn't know they needed, and perhaps just as much, was their secret weapon, Electra, The Girl Who Should Have Never Been. Electra believed navigating her way through the Wizarding World would be a breeze, as she is after all a brilliant witch (humility is not her strong suit), but as it turns out, growing into her womanhood in a world full of magic isn't as easy as she hoped. Especially when there was a particular thorn in her side she couldn't quite shake with the name Fred Weasley. As another piece in Dumbledore's grand chess game, Electra must take on the role she was born into, but on whose side of the board? ☽☼☾ This fic is in the POV of Electra that follows the major events of the books closely, with some exceptions and differences (this is an AU fic after all) prologue - 1993 - 1998 tw: mature content, explicit language, smoking and use of drugs and alcohol, sexual content, assault, violence and torture, and death of minor and major characters (don't say you weren't warned) the original story and characters of Harry Potter belong to she-who-must-not-be-named I in no way support JK Rowling's disgusting transphobic views
