Prologue

(So first and foremost. JK can take a long hike off a short cliff with her own views. As if that needs saying at this point.

Second. I understand that the rules and logic of magic is never meant to be intrinsically the focus of the Harry Potter universe. However, given how I also [from my understanding] notice that there are so many things that don't make any goddamn sense about the magic makes me want. To try and mix it up.

Third. I like the Dresden Files, that's about the most you're going to get from my view on how the Magic is going to try and work here. Now as you probably saw, this is a reimagining of the Harry Potter plot structure from the ground up. I'm going to try and keep the original beats the same, and make the originally impactful moments still feel as impactful. Just let me try with this one, okay?)

Magic is a bloody fickle force in the universe as a whole. To those who are sensitive, it reveals a world unknown to them. Where ghosts, ghouls, demons, vampires, fairies and everything that conventional life says does not exist....does.

Those who have lived in this secret world know that there's an entire history unbeknownst to everyone. An underlying government that micromanages this secret side of society.

But of course...with society there is conflict. and with conflict there are wars. And when Magic becomes a factor, those wars can be the most devastating things anyone has ever seen.

Of course, magic also makes things far more complicated. Magic can tell the future, and someone learns of a prophecy involving a child. Destined to save everyone by defeating the ultimate evil.

This child has their parents killed, and lives with belligerent relatives that treat them horribly.

You know this story, you know how it goes.

But take a peek at the hypothetical. What if things changed? If someone actually had the Potter Boy's back from the start?

What if Harry always knew...he was a Wizard?
