So, recently I reread and rewatched all the Harry Potter books and movies and my mind is reeling with these scenarios of what could have happened if the story took this turn instead of the original plotline.
I'll be mentioning all possibilities of how the story would be woven if a particular incident took place. So basically, I'm trying to create multiple alternate universes which might in turn describe how significant a character was or how important was a particular incident and how it's not happening would have affected the future.
I'm sure you'll get to know wild crazy theories and I promise a lot of fun.

THE QUIET BEFORE: Part I - FOUNDATION
THE QUIET BEFORE: Part I of II - FOUNDATION Harry Potter died a hero. He greeted Death not as an enemy, but as an old companion-and in return, Fate gave him something far more dangerous than peace. A second chance. Reborn into a life that was never kind to him, Harry grows up carrying echoes of a future he has not yet lived and scars no one else can see. Hogwarts is still waiting. Voldemort still looms. But this time, the battle is not only about survival-it is about understanding, healing, and choice. This is the story of the years before the war. Of friendships forged slowly and painfully. Of trust rebuilt, truths uncovered, and power learned through restraint rather than violence. Before the world burns, Harry must learn how to live. Foundation is not a story about the war itself - it is about the years that quietly shape it. About friendships formed in kitchens instead of common rooms. About trials that happen in courtrooms instead of battlefields. About choices that look small at the time... and change everything later. Foundation is a character-driven reimagining of the Harry Potter story-focused on growth, relationships, political undercurrents, and the quiet moments that shape who stands when the war finally comes. This is a slow-burn, character-driven retelling where no one exists only to support the plot - and no one walks away unchanged. The war is coming. But first, the world has to be built. THIS IS KIND OF A SLOW BURN AND NOT FULLY ABOUT ROMANCE THO YOU WILL HAVE LOVELY RELATIONSHIPS FORMING AND ROMANCE APPEARING BECAUSE LIKE YOU, IM A SUCKER FOR HARRY POTTER ROMANCES remember as this is fanfiction, many things like birthdays, age and character personalities are altered to fit my imagination, so keep an open mind when reading, thank you! the story is very different from Cannon. HAVE A NICE READ!

Walking Down Memory Lane
Marauder era: Lily takes a look back at her last year at Hogwarts. A story full of twists and turns. Her time with Severus and the love they shared. Her relationships with James, Sirius and Remus. This is a story filled with love, loss, anger, betrayal and redemption. How much would the story have changed if Severus's mistakes were a little different? What would have changed if Severus had changed sides sooner? Would Lily forgive him, would her choices be different? How would James, Sirius and Remus play into her life with these changes? Had these things happened along with a chance at redemption and a lot of forgiveness the boy who lived story could have been a lot different. This story does not follow canon exactly, it is my personal take on how things should have been. Updates will be frequent. I do not own any thing. All credit goes to JK Rowling.Complete

Death's Gift
After the war, Harry distances himself from everyone, feeling empty. He spends a year having locked himself up in Grimmuald Place, consumed with guilt. When he's finally drawn from his Godfather's, now his, home by the Weasleys, Hermione appears at his front door with urgent and unsettling news. Harry realizes the hidden horrors of his years at Hogwarts and, together, Harry and his friends formulate a plan to level the playing field. Though, when it inevitably all goes sideways, Death reveals himself to Harry and offers him a once in a lifetime opportunity. Will he take it? -- WARNINGS: 1. This is a slow burn (trust, it'll be worth it) 2. Tom is a manipulative little shit 🥰 3. Chapters are not at all consistent, I'm a double major in college guys, I only have so much extra time T^T - I try to upload at least one chapter a month
