Summary
It was a warm and sunny day in London, with no clouds in sight. On this sunny day, a little girl stood on Charing Cross Road staring at a seemingly broken-down old shop. In reality, this young seven-year-old girl was staring at the Leaky Cauldron.
That little girl was me. Belladonna Burton, seven years of age, and now a confirmed witch.
I sighed as I stared at the Leaky Cauldron sign. “What a fucking mess.”
A lady gasped at me in horror before hurrying along and disappearing into the crowd, and I couldn’t fault her. I would probably also be unpleasantly surprised at hearing a 7-year-old girl utter those words.
The problem was that, according to my memories, I knew what was to come in the future. At first, I thought I had been reborn, like in one of those books, but that was hard to prove as I couldn’t really remember a previous life. What I did know was what would happen in the future, both in the Muggle world and the Wizarding. I just didn’t have any memories of myself in either world.This story explores Bella Burton, an OC, as she navigates being a muggleborn in the wizarding world while making the most out of her knowledge of the future for purely selfish purposes.

Summary
At the end of his life, Harry is given the chance to alter the course of the dark reality his son Albus and Albus' friend Scorpius create when they use a Time-Turner to save Cedric Diggory's life. With the hindsight bestowed by a lifetime as Auror, Head of the DMLE, husband, father, and friend, he will make very different choices as a seventeen-year-old wizard to try and save the people and the world he loves.
But if he has to do it all over again, simply defeating Voldemort won't be good enough: there's a never-ending scroll of tragedies to avert and one newly-installed Headmaster of Hogwarts to talk around (if he manages to get a word in edgewise before getting hexed). The good news is, as always: he's not fighting alone.
**This story contains major spoilers for Cursed Child and minor ones for Fantastic Beasts but does not require knowledge of either.**

Beautiful, in a way that makes me want to be the author's friend. Occasional soapbox asides, includes nonbinary OC Sol of the Yaxley line. Complete.

I love this. It is perfect. My headcanon for Hudley in 'To Skin a Cat' and Harry in 'The Boyfriend'.
Really glad to have it on the archive, though I hope they got Boston Bitch's permission.
