    Summary

    Here is the second installment of the World Without Hagrid Series. This will cover Harry's first year at Hogwarts.

    This work is complete, but for my own sanity, and to combat the frequent bouts of writer's block I suffer, I am releasing one chapter a week.

    Summary

    The first installment in the "World Without Hagrid" series. My take on a What If...? Where Vernon was just a little bit faster with that shotgun.

    This Installment takes place in the weeks leading up to the first year of Hogwarts. This will be a Dark Harry Fic with several pareings but he is 11. It is a slow burn.

    For those of you familiar with my other work, this will not be nearly as explicit.

    Summary

    “Not Harry, not Harry, please not Harry!”
    “Stand aside, you silly girl… stand aside, now”.
    And Lily Potter stepped aside.
    Voldemort stared at her.
    “... Is this some sort of trick?” he asked softly.
    “No". Her voice was flat, lifeless. “You already killed James... If you let me live, then you can have Harry”.
    Voldemort’s lip curled - not in amusement, but disgust. His own mother had died for him. Pathetic, yes, sentimental and foolish - but she had chosen to die so that he could live. Lily Potter wasn’t even choosing to care. Surely the child of prophecy deserved a better mother than this! Even he could give the boy to a better family to be raised right!
    Voldemort slowly reached down and picked up the child.
    He was still staring at him. He was still oddly silent. His eyes were still the colour of the Killing curse and brimming with power.
    Yes, Voldemort decided, that was exactly what he’d do.
    "You belong to me now" he whispered.
    And with a crack like thunder, he turned on the spot, vanishing into the night.

    Or, the one where Harry Potter is raised by the Lestranges and it goes more or less how you would expect.

    Summary

    The summer after first year, Hermione Granger’s parents meet Harry Potter and realize something is deeply wrong.

    What follows is not a rescue fantasy, but a reckoning: with institutions that failed, with the limits of protection, and with what it means to raise children in a world that never intended to keep them safe.

    Canon divergence beginning in Year Two. Multi-year AU.

    Year 2: Chapters 1-29 (COMPLETE)
    Year 3: Chapter 30 - ?
