Odette Cornelia Lestrange is a name whispered in the shadows. With her icy platinum hair and piercing blue eyes, she carries the weight of a family curse-one that has destroyed every woman in her bloodline for generations. The curse is inevitable, inescapable. The curse is her inheritance, and it will claim her, just as it claimed them all.
Transferring to Hogwarts for her fifth year wasn't a part of her plan, but the moment she boarded the Hogwarts Express, she crossed paths with Theodore Nott, a boy as mysterious as the dark magic that follows her, and whose haunted eyes mirror her own. Their unlikely connection sparks a dangerous attraction, and soon, Odette finds herself tangled in his quiet, guarded world.
As she is pulled deeper into a world of mystery, ancient magic, and secrets she was never meant to uncover, the lines between fate and choice start to blur. When the truth starts to unravel, she starts to realize some legacies you cannot escape, and some curses are meant to consume everything-Starting with her sanity.
With each step, Odette faces the question: Can she hold onto who she is, or will she, too, dance the waltz of the damned.
In the final moment before her destruction, Wanda Maximoff " the Scarlet Witch " is pulled into a void beyond time or form. Lost in the abyss of her guilt, a mysterious light touches her... and brings her back. Not to her world, but to another. One where magic is different. Where redemption might take shape: the world of Harry Potter.
When a luminous figure " a doe " shows her the memories of a boy abandoned and mistreated by his relatives, Wanda understands her new purpose: to protect Lily Potter's son. Though she doesn't know why she was chosen, she accepts the deal. In exchange for a chance at redemption, she will care for little Harry.
But Wanda is no ordinary witch. And this world is not ready for her. From the very first moment on Privet Drive, the Dursleys will feel that something has changed.
With power, resolve, and growing compassion, Wanda will face a new destiny. Because this time... no one will touch the boy without facing her.
After all, who better to protect the Boy Who Lived... than the Scarlet Witch herself?
Author's Disclaimer:
This story is loosely inspired by the initial premise of Strange Potter, a work I greatly admire and that served as a creative spark for developing this project. Although the plot, character development, and events are entirely original and distinct, I believe it's only fair to acknowledge that initial influence.
Likewise, this is a non-profit fanfic that blends elements from the Marvel and Harry Potter universes, whose rights belong to their respective creators and owners (Marvel/Disney and J.K. Rowling). This work is made with respect and with the intention of paying tribute to these worlds that so many of us have enjoyed.
