Looking back on it, Harry should have known this would happen. But he just didn't think it was possible at all this time around - he'd just saved their lives, hadn't he?

He supposed it was a good thing he was orphaned in the war. Draco shuddered to imagine what his father thought of the situation.

The ban Gran placed on Neville was pushing it. It wasn't just a ban - it was fortified with magic.

It was such a shame, really, that things worked out the way it did. Luna, of course, knew all of it would happen.
*
After the final battle, things go back to normal. Harry, Ron and Hermione all go to school for one last year and one last adventure, one without Voldemort. Harry and Ginny are living their lives happily and have great plans for a great future.

At least, that's how it was supposed to happen. 

Instead, everyone begins to fear Harry. If he could defeat Him, then who's to say he won't follow the same path? Who's to say he won't go dark?

Harry is falling into a depression that he can't seem to escape. The ones he depends on most have abandoned him and the one who hasn't can't speak to him. He feels like he's drowning and there are leads attached to him, helping him along. 
Neville does his best, honest, but there isn't much he can do, thanks to Gran. He wants to help, but he physically can't, and it's slowly killing him. Maybe... no, that wouldn't work.
Luna does her best as well. The creatures she sees are messing with his head, and no matter hard she tries, she can't help him get rid of them. Maybe someday, somehow.
Draco doesn't do much - it's not his place. He's been nothing but hurtful to Harry, but he regrets that, really. It will take time to get Harry to trust him. He wants to help but he knows it'll be rebuffed. Right?

A meeting where they all get to know each other gets interrupted. The ball of light shouldn't be trusted, but Luna say's it's safe. So when Luna wakes up ten years old again, she has four months to prepare for her friends' arrivals.

But what happens when fate realises how cruel life had been to him? And decides to give him another chance. A second chance. This is a fanfiction! The major shipping are Harry x Hermione, Draco x Ginny, and Neville x Luna. IF YOU CAN RESPECT THE SHIPS, THEN PLEASE PROCEED, BUT I REALLY DO NOT WANT TO SEE ANY HATE COMMENTS LATER ON. THE STORY MIGHT FOLLOW CANNON A LITTLE BUT WILL BE PACED AND WRITTEN QUITE DIFFERENTLY. ************************************** Harry Potter was left at the doorstep of his aunt and uncle by Dumbledore after a tragic incident. But how is his life going to proceed from there? With a sweet and caring aunt, an uncle who is just cruel and a bully, and an ignorant cousin, how would he react to the revelation about the magical world? How will he find his way, with dangers lurking around, and people with their own selfish motives around him, how will he find true friends and safely navigate his life at Hogwarts? What if we add an aspect of romance into the mix? With dangers, love, drama, hidden truths, jealousy, and a psychotic nutter who is after the boy to kill him, how will harry potter survive? (remember as this is fanfiction, many things like birthdays, age and character personalities are altered to fit my imagination, so keep an open mind when reading, thank you! the story is very different from Cannon while following the same events/ storyline.

BOOK 3 OF THE GIRL WHO SAW TOMORROW - Make sure you have read the first two. ❝No one, no matter how great, can know of their own Destiny...❞ As the war against Voldemort rages, an unexpected rebellion brews amidst the crowds. For the first time since the time of Merlin, legends of a magical being are spreading across the Wizarding and Muggle worlds, sending into peril the very Statute of Secrecy that has allowed the Wizarding kind to live in freedom. Some call them a saviour, others call them a dangerous untamable force. But all agree on one thing: Darkness itself bends to their will. And nothing dark is ever good, right? Alas, there is no answer in sight. Harry Potter is nowhere to be found. Hogwarts has been overrun by Death Eaters. The Order of the Phoenix is in hiding. The Ministry is in shambles. And Lord Voldemort is breathing fear into every aspect of life. In the eye of the storm stands Margaret Xenakis. Meticulously planning aspects of the future could have never prepared her for the bloodshed of war. When a legendary magical society offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance, Margaret realises that the Wizarding World outside Hogwarts is much more complex than she had expected. With her own life at stake, she must make her stand for the greater good before it's too late. No matter how unprepared or unworthy she feels. It is up to her, and only her, to minimise the damage of the crossfire. Sounds like a lot? Add Death, Darkness and Doom to the mix. Talk about absolutely unhinged luck... ~~~ Warning: this fic is a giant band-aid to the plot boo-boos of Deathly Hallows book and movie storylines :)

"Mr. Malfoy, where are you going? You just woke up from a great fall after all, I'm sure your friends can come here, instead of you going to them." Who was Malfoy? Oh right, it was probably him. A little bit late, he realised that he should have told her about the complete memory loss since he had no idea where he was going to go once he left the hospital-like room. On second thought, maybe making a scene would have actually been a good idea. Well, it was too late to turn back now. "I will just be going out for a little stroll...around. I must admit that I am in dire need of some fresh air. My, how long did you say I was out for again?" He put his hand to his chest like it was an absolute travesty to have not been told. "I-uh...four days, Mr. Malfoy. You were out for four days." "Well then, I shall be going now. Toodaloo!" Madam Pomfrey stood completely frozen for a long moment like this was the exact opposite of what she expected to happen when Draco woke up. "Mr. Malfoy, wait!" The witch eventually called out, but Draco was already out of the door. Draco wakes up in the hospital wing having no idea who he is and how he got there. Turns out he fell 20 feet down the stairs and got his memory wiped. What else could go wrong? Meeting Harry Potter definitely was fun, but can he figure out who obliviated him and get his memories back? Or will he be stuck like this for the rest of his life? Drarry story Draco is best friends with Pansy, Theo, and Blaise This story is a mix between being fun and being angsty, so be prepared for sudden jumps between light and dark (I can't help how my brain thinks, just roll with it) For teen and up audiences. TW: Mentions/implied reference of child abuse and only a splash of language There will be warnings at the beginning of a chapter if necessary. The cover is the result of me being supremely bored. Yes I know it sucks but that's kind of the point because I am no editor, just ignore it as best as you can
