After bitter losses but more than a century of magical study and growth, the smartest witch is reborn to defang the wicked, save Harry, friends, and perhaps the world. Childhood plus Hogwarts years with villains but no Voldemort, so 8 all-new books. Action! Adventure! Angst! Puzzles! Problems! Payback! Fantasy! Friendship! Fluff! Harry/Hermione. Plus Neville. Ron. Ginny. Luna.

Harry Potter's first year at Hogwarts brings with it three friends who might just help him honour his biggest role models, a Slytherin rival in the form of one Evan Snape, and a mystery to be solved involving a small package hidden on the third floor. PS retelling set in the world where Lily Evans made different choices as a young girl, that ended up changing wizarding history.
