The Nominal Reincarnate: A Slytherin's Guide to the Potterverse

"Reincarnation with nominal knowledge of the original work" throws a new student into the world of Harry Potter. Armed with vague recollections of the books' major plot points and a cynical view of the magical world's politics, this new character is sorted into Slytherin and is forced to navigate the familiar, yet unpredictable, narrative of the first four years at Hogwarts.
From the hunt for the Philosopher's Stone to the dark chaos of the Triwizard Tournament and the return of Voldemort, the story follows this pragmatic, magically-gifted student as they wrestle with the moral compromises of their House, attempt to reform the broken society they find themselves in, and survive the escalating dangers of the Wizarding War, all while trying to reconcile their limited knowledge with the complex reality of Albus Dumbledore, Severus Snape, and the fate of the "Boy Who Lived."
