Harry Potter exists in a world where Lord Voldemort (Now Minister Marvolo Peverell) has won, his father drinks the pain of his mother's murder away, his godfather has just gotten out of prison, and he's in Ravenclaw. He's determined to make the best of it all and with Hermione, Draco, and his friends in Ravenclaw, and with the exception of his prodigal talent in Defense, slips under the radar. Harry's happy with this life he's carved out for himself and is on the cusp of adulthood, but that is all threatened when the Minister takes a great interest in him.

Just what does the Minister want with Harry?
