Story Description:

In the aftermath of a devastating reckoning, the magical society of Britain stands on the brink of collapse, and the consequences of their choices weigh heavily on the hearts of every witch and wizard at Hogwarts. As the students and professors gather in the Great Hall, a mysterious deity known as the Deity of Choices appears, revealing the dire fate that has unfolded due to their decisions. With the very fabric of their world unraveling, they are given a singular opportunity: a glimpse into an alternate universe where different paths were taken.

This deity explains how , Mother Magic, has shown mercy by allowing them to witness the life of Harry Potter in a reality where he was not just a pawn in a grand game, but a boy who forged his own destiny-thanks in part to the presence of a remarkable companion.

As the enchanted projections flicker to life, the hall is filled with visions of Harry, unburdened by the weight of expectation, surrounded by laughter and love. Yet, it's the mysterious girl at his side-Esmeralda Black-who captures their attention. This enigmatic Slytherin, with her dazzling beauty and fierce loyalty, seems to be the key to Harry's newfound happiness and strength.

What choices led to her presence in this world? How did she transform Harry's journey and the fate of the wizarding community? As Hogwarts watches, they are compelled to confront their own decisions and consider the profound impact one person can have on the lives of many.

Join them in this thought-provoking tale, where the power of choice reigns supreme, and discover how the threads of fate can be rewoven through love, friendship, and the courage to change.

❝ I don't want to share you, Y/N, ❞ He leaned in a little closer, his voice dropping to a near whisper. ❝ It's not like you don't know what I mean. It's not just anyone who gets to look at you like that. ❞ ❝ You're mine, Y/N. Don't forget that. ❞ ~~~ In the halls of Hogwarts, power and temptation collide. Y/N had always known Tom Riddle as a brilliant and enigmatic Slytherin with a dangerous aura. But when fate pulls you into his orbit, everything changes. As the line between friendship and something more blurs, you find yourself drawn into a world of intrigue, dark magic, and intense emotions-one that is as thrilling as it is perilous. At first, it's easy to dismiss Tom's attention. His cold, calculated persona never betrays the vulnerability beneath the surface. But as the two of you grow closer, his possessiveness emerges-subtle, then all-consuming. His dark gaze follows you everywhere, a silent claim that no one else dares challenge. As he slowly opens up to you in ways he never has with anyone else, you realize that you've become more than just an ally in his eyes-you've become his. And in a world where power is everything, you can't help but wonder just how far he'll go to keep you by his side. Dark desires. Unspoken bonds. And the suffocating weight of a love bound by shadows. Will you embrace the dangerous allure of the Dark Lord in the making? Or will his possessiveness be too much for you to bear?

BOOK 3 OF THE GIRL WHO SAW TOMORROW - Make sure you have read the first two. ❝No one, no matter how great, can know of their own Destiny...❞ As the war against Voldemort rages, an unexpected rebellion brews amidst the crowds. For the first time since the time of Merlin, legends of a magical being are spreading across the Wizarding and Muggle worlds, sending into peril the very Statute of Secrecy that has allowed the Wizarding kind to live in freedom. Some call them a saviour, others call them a dangerous untamable force. But all agree on one thing: Darkness itself bends to their will. And nothing dark is ever good, right? Alas, there is no answer in sight. Harry Potter is nowhere to be found. Hogwarts has been overrun by Death Eaters. The Order of the Phoenix is in hiding. The Ministry is in shambles. And Lord Voldemort is breathing fear into every aspect of life. In the eye of the storm stands Margaret Xenakis. Meticulously planning aspects of the future could have never prepared her for the bloodshed of war. When a legendary magical society offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance, Margaret realises that the Wizarding World outside Hogwarts is much more complex than she had expected. With her own life at stake, she must make her stand for the greater good before it's too late. No matter how unprepared or unworthy she feels. It is up to her, and only her, to minimise the damage of the crossfire. Sounds like a lot? Add Death, Darkness and Doom to the mix. Talk about absolutely unhinged luck... ~~~ Warning: this fic is a giant band-aid to the plot boo-boos of Deathly Hallows book and movie storylines :)

Fifteen-year-old Madeline Potter has spent her life hidden away, overshadowed by the legend of her brother, Harry Potter. When she finally arrives at Hogwarts in her fifth year, she expects to be sorted into Gryffindor, to finally belong at his side. Instead, the Sorting Hat makes a choice that shocks the entire school-Slytherin. The Great Hall falls silent. Harry's face is frozen in disbelief. The Gryffindors whisper, the Hufflepuffs glance at each other warily, and the Ravenclaws analyze the implications. But the worst reaction comes from her new house. The Slytherins sneer. She sees the disgust in Draco Malfoy's glare, the cold judgment in Pansy Parkinson's smirk. A Potter among the snakes? A betrayal of everything her brother stands for. The first weeks are hell. Whispers follow her down the corridors. Some Slytherins ignore her. Others want her gone. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are wary-Why Slytherin?-and Harry's distant confusion stings more than she expected. But then, something shifts. Mattheo Riddle, dark, unreadable, and carrying a surname that terrifies most, doesn't sneer at her like the others. Theo Nott and Blaise Zabini don't shun her completely, watching her instead, testing her. Even Lorenzo Berkshire, ever the enigma, seems curious. Pansy, instead of tearing her down, extends an unexpected invitation-because, as she says with a smirk, if you're going to survive Slytherin, you'll need friends. Even Draco, reluctant and cold, starts seeing her differently when she refuses to back down. As Madeline fights to prove herself, she begins to see Slytherin for what it truly is-not just ambition and cruelty, but loyalty, strength, and survival. She expected enemies. She didn't expect to find a place where she might actually belong. But war looms. Lines are being drawn. Loyalties are being tested. And Madeline must decide: stand with the brother who barely knows her, or the house that's becoming her home.

For years, Harry Potter has been the forgotten son - overshadowed, unwanted, and misunderstood. While his twin brother basks in the glory of being the Boy Who Lived, Harry carries a far heavier burden: a connection to Voldemort that even his own family fears. What began as unintentional distance soon turned into cold neglect - whispered doubts, suspicious glances, and quiet exclusion. His parents distanced themselves, his godfather was too busy with his own family, and his younger sister barely wanting to know him at all. Everyone watched from afar, unsure if Harry was a victim or a threat. But when Voldemort's power grows stronger, desperation forces the Order's hand. In search of guidance, they perform a powerful ritual - a plea for answers, a desperate bid for salvation. Yet magic is unpredictable. Instead of answers, the flames twist and rise - smoke curling into vivid glimpses of an alternate universe. A world where James and Lily Potter died that fateful Halloween... but Harry was never left to suffer alone. In this world, Elsia Valeria Potter Black - Harry's older sister - was his constant. His protector. His family. Through the swirling visions, they witness a boy who, despite being orphaned, grew up loved, nurtured, and strong. A boy who was never cast aside. A boy who was never broken. But the visions are only the beginning. The magic stirs something deeper - someone greater. Out of the smoke steps Elsia, pulled from her world into theirs - fierce, unwavering, and unwilling to let this world's Harry endure the same fate. Now faced with the truth of their mistakes, the Order must confront the damage they caused. Will they find redemption in the ashes of their regret? Or will Elsia's presence ignite the hope that Harry Potter has always deserved? In a war where love can mean the difference between salvation and destruction, can the embers of hope burn bright enough to save the boy they forgot?

Liliana Calloway, a sixth-year Slytherin, returns to Hogwarts alongside her closest friends, Ominis Gaunt and Sebastian Sallow. After a harrowing fifth year that left her with the title of the "Slytherin Savior," Liliana finds herself thrust into the spotlight, celebrated for saving the school from a mysterious ancient threat. The Scottish Highlands sing her praises, and her peers walk the corridors whispering her name. But only Liliana knows the truth-a truth that, if revealed, could upend everything. Burdened by the weight of her newfound fame, Liliana struggles to balance the expectations placed upon her with the reality of her powers. She can not only sense ancient magic but also wield an emotion-driven force that defies everything she's been taught about control and restraint.

As if the pressures of heroism weren't enough, an age-old rivalry between two well-known wizarding families resurfaces, igniting tensions at Hogwarts.

Liliana's success has only fueled the Dawsons' resentment. The trio embarks on a treacherous journey through forbidden texts, cursed locations, and dangerous alliances, testing the strength of their bond. As they dig deeper, Liliana is faced with impossible choices: should she reveal the truth about the events of last year and risk losing the respect of those who call her a hero? Or should she let the lie fester, even as it threatens to consume her? "I never asked to be the Savior, but mark my words you'll regret the day I unleash the monster I know I am.
