The Main Idea

On October 31, 1981, Lord Voldemort chose to go after not Harry Potter, but Neville Longbottom.

Neville's parents died to save him, sending him to live with his grandparents. He grew up being called The Boy Who Lived and getting praise he never thought he really deserved. Even so, he got his letter like all the other wizards his age at eleven and embarked on his magical educational journey.

New trials awaited at Hogwarts, but somehow he scraped through his six years there alive.

It has been sixteen years since that night.

Albus Dumbledore is dead, having left the Chosen One with an impossible quest of destroying Voldemort. The only question is, will it happen this time around? Everything is different in these twisted times.

Harry Potter has grown up safe and happy under the watch of his parents. Both familiar and unfamiliar faces flood the darkened halls of Hogwarts. Regulus Black is alive and ready to assist Neville.. if he can find him. The Chosen one has disappeared on his quest, and the future ahead looks bleak as the Death Eaters bring down the world.
