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.
Death did not take him. Not yet.
When Severus Snape closes his eyes beneath the blood-stained floor of the Shrieking Shack, he expects the end. Instead, he wakes up decades earlier-in his sixteen-year-old body, memories intact, pain still raw.
This time, there will be no Dark Mark. No slurs thrown in anger. No desperate chase for the love of a girl already slipping away.
This time, Severus chooses something different.
With a new wardrobe, a quieter heart, and a growing mastery of potion-making, he begins to carve a different life. One of dignity, of peace-and, perhaps, of love.
Because when Regulus Black begins to take notice, Severus finds himself drawn to the one person who might understand what it means to walk the line between expectation and rebellion.
