    Summary

    What would happen if Harry Potter decided not to be the hero everyone expects him to be?

    Enter a world where magic isn't just about casting spells, but an ancient culture of etiquette, votes in the Wizengamot and forgotten traditions. Harry Potter returns at the age of eleven with the awareness of an adult and a clear plan: to live the life he has always wanted and dismantle the stagnation of the wizarding world in the process.

    No Gryffindor. No blind rivalry with Slytherin. Harry creates a “Study Group” that is actually an elite academy: from Sue Li's duelling sports to Daphne Greengrass's politics lessons, to the rediscovery of Neville's talent. Between a football match with the Slytherins and a critical analysis of Dumbledore's decisions, Harry is building the future. But time is running out, and Voldemort's shadow is not the only danger to watch out for.

    Summary

    There is one constant at Hogwarts: One new Defence Teacher every term. Everyone knew it. They also learned to keep their expectations low.
    James wasn't sure how the new teacher was able to destroy even the lowest of expectations, but here they were.
    Professor Young (or in full: Professor Flynn Ulrich Clayton Kendrick Young) was an idiot who went undefeated. So how was it possible that he still learned from him?

    Or

    Harry has no idea how he ended up in the past and managed to become the DADA teacher at Hogwarts, but he knows one thing for sure: He won’t be one of Dumbledore's pawns, and he won't be pulled into the bubbling war, if that means he has to play the idiot, so be it. He had enough incompetent teachers to know how to play the role.
