This story is still a work in progress with many mistakes, inconsistencies, and errors. Please keep that in mind, especially regarding Mairead's Scottish accent. The author is doing her best to learn and fix these mistakes and incongruencies as the story progresses.
Kindly do not get upset or sue me for paying tribute to one of the greatest animated series of all time. This is not intended to offend anyone. This was simply written from the heart of a girl who enjoys reading, writing, and watching movies.
Warnings: While I strive to make my stories clean (without smut or inappropriate/foul language) in order to accommodate more sensitive readers, and something that I would not be ashamed to write about (as I am a saved, born again, Bible-believing Christian) and should write something that would not make my Savior ashamed to call me His child.
However, my stories are also realistic. As a result, it does contain some scenes that might be too much for some readers. Themes such as kidnapping, forced marriage, attempted rape, murder, battlefield gore, people being physically beaten, people being "unalived" (a slang term which usually refers to suicide or homicide, used when certain terms are censored, but a word which here means: deceased, killed, laid to rest, put out of their misery, taken care of, swimming with the fishes, and so on), in a plethora of ways as there are - in many cases - fire breathing, man-eating dragons as well as crazed Berserkers.
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.
