DISCONTINUED
As of April 22, 2025 I am discontinuing this fic. I had plans to finish the fic before summer, but I just don't feel comfortable engaging in the Harry Potter fandom in any capacity anymore. JK Rowling has ruined a space that meant so much to me and other people by being a horrible person. The last thing I want to do is bring any more attention to her work and possibly give her any more money to donate to anti-trans legislation in the UK.
I know this might seem performative. I know that this close to the end, some of you might feel cheated by never getting an ending. But I can't keep writing this story with a clear conscience. Harry Potter was one of the few things that kept me alive when I was suicidal. I feel cheated out of my safe space, and all because JK Rowling is a fucking TERF (among other horrible things).
I almost deleted this story entirely. I don't want to engage in this fandom for another second, even though it holds such a special place in my heart. I'm only leaving it because I don't want to cause further pain to any of you by removing it forever.
I love you all, but I have to do what's right for me. And what's right for me is leaving this fic and this fandom. I hope one day that changes. I hope JK changes.
I doubt it.

Hogwarts has been socially run by the marauders for five years, Lorelei intends to change that.
Meanwhile, Voldemort rises to power.
(It's a very slow burn, buckle up)
(Also, not a happy ending)
