Genevieve Hanani has survived the chaos of the fashion world, the glare of the L.A. spotlight, and the unexpected whirlwind of falling in love with Luka Dončić. Now, with their wedding only months away and their dream home finally coming together, she wants, desperately, for life to feel settled. Perfect. Peaceful. But perfection has never been Genevieve's style.
Fashion Week hits harder than ever, and while the world praises her grace and brilliance, behind the scenes she's exhausted, nauseous, and brushing off the one truth she refuses to consider: something is changing, and it's happening inside her. She tells herself she'll deal with it after the runways, after the chaos... after everything else. Meanwhile, Luka is fighting a battle of his own. Still haunted by the bitterness of the Dallas trade, he's determined to prove himself-on the court, to the league, and to the team that believed in him. As the Lakers push for a championship run, he's stretched thin, split between the season's pressure and the life he's building with the woman he loves.
They're supposed to be planning a wedding. Instead, they're juggling fame, exhaustion, fear... and a secret that's growing stronger every day. Love brought them together.But trust, resilience, and a promise they made long before rings were exchanged...those are what will carry them through the playoffs, and into their forever.

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.

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.
