Summary
Three monumental things happened in 1990:
Firstly, Fleamont and Euphemia Potter put their foot down and forced their son James to marry a witch they approved of.
Secondly, Albus Dumbledore decided to try one last time to hire a Divination Professor.
Thirdly, a witch called Lily Evans developed a counter for the Imperius Curse.
But as far as Harry Evans was concerned, nearly two decades later and half a world away, none of these events had anything to do with his life. He was just trying to get by as an Ilvermorny graduate and single teen father in a dangerous world. He’s got bigger problems than magical civil wars on the other side of the planet.
Albus Dumbledore, however, would disagree. With the resurrection of the Dark Lord Voldemort, all eyes have turned to a prophecy predicting a wizard who would be the Dark Lord’s downfall. The nation’s hopes rested on James Potter’s son Nate, famous for surviving the unsurvivable and killing the Dark Lord as a baby seventeen years previously. But as the only person to have heard the full prophecy, Dumbledore was uncertain. And his search for the real savior keeps drawing him back to a little boy everyone assumed was a squib.

Summary
They sought her out for conversation sometimes, cornering her in the garden or at the park, not that they ever had much to say. Really, Harriet thought snakes were rather dull.
---------
Harriet Potter has always been odd. Between having a shadow that moves on its own and chatting with grass snakes, learning she's a witch really isn't the strangest thing to happen to the bespectacled girl with a lightning scar on her neck.
Harriet attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where she makes new friends, encounters a prickly Potions Master, learns about the Boy Who Lived, and meets the enigmatic Defense Against the Dark Arts instructor, Professor Tom Slytherin.

Summary
“Here we go.” He tossed the first folder aside in favour of flipping open the next. “A woman filed a report after her parents returned from a trip to…Willowsea? Wherever the fuck that is. Apparently they…oh.”
Granger leapt forward, reaching for the folder. “Let me see.”
“No, I’m reading it.” He turned away from her. “It says here that they’ve lost their magic.”
“What?”
In the small coastal town of Willowsea, strange happenings occur. Magic vanishes, memories fade, and an odd young couple have an unfortunate habit of asking too many questions.
