Harry Potter and the adventures of Nora Watson
Summary: What if a certain story traveler witnessed the death of Lily and James Potter, and decided to aid young Harry in his battle against the dark arts? This time without anyone dying, hopefully. WARNING: A big part of this fanfiction is in dialogue. Ron bashing at the beginning. I just don't like him. And probably Dumbledore bashing later on. Pairings (after 3rd year; NWDM, NWHG and possibly more)
Note to myself: Highlighted text is on a priority scale for rewriting
Note to readers: Apparently, doesn't carry over horizontal lines from Word, so if there's a time skip, you'll know that there should be a horizontal line. I'll eventually add them to the earlier chapters, and from chapter 23 there will be some sort of a sign for the time skip. Thanks for reading!
Chapter 1: That Fateful Halloween
31st of October, 1981
Lord Voldemort was extremely satisfied. That pitiful coward Peter Pettigrew had just revealed the hiding place of Lily and James Potter. Now he has enough time to kill the Potters and conquer the world. After all, Potter's child was the only obstacle on his way to power. At least the prophecy said so.
"And where do you think you're going?" - he heard a mocking, but dead cold voice from behind.
It was just a girl. A strange looking girl, indeed, but still just a girl.
He decided to ignore her. Just a few more steps, and he'd be in Potter's house.
But the girl seemed not to realize what fate she'd suffer if she defied Lord Voldemort, so she said: "I asked you something."
Voldemort suddenly stopped, slowly turned around to see the girl, raised his wand and whispered "Avada Kedavra!"
A sudden flash of green light, and the girl was dead.
But was she?
The girl stood there, frozen in place, before she dissapeared into thin air while shocked Voldemort stood frozen in place. "How is this possible?", he thought.
And then he realised what happened after she had disappeared.
"It was just a simple illusion. But there's nothing that can stop Lord Voldemort!"
The rest is history.
4 Privet Drive, Little Whinington
"You don't mean — you can't mean the people who live here? Dumbledore, you can't. You couldn't find two people who are less like us. And they've got this son —" - Minerva McGonagall said, clearly upset.
The rest of the conversation couldn't be heard, as the shadow quickly changed place after Albus Dumbledore looked straight at the place where it was just moments ago. It was like history repeating itself, Harry Potter was left again on the doorstep of those horrible muggles' home.
As soon as everyone had left, the shadow transfigured into a young girl, not older than sixteen. The same girl that had crossed Lord Voldemort's path just yesterday.
"I'm watching over you, young Harry Potter." - she said, and with that, disappeared.
Author's note: This is just an intro, and that's why it's so short. The other chapters will be longer, I hope.
Another author's note (After finishing chapter 22): This chapter is around 500 words long, but the following chapters are usually 1k-2,5k words long. So don't worry, okay? ;)
I'll write the credits here once, and won't repeat them.
