    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.

    And in the midst of all the confusion, there's a glowing screen with the words HARRY POTTER.

    Summary

    James Potter thought that his last year at Hogwarts would likely turn out uneventful. And Regulus Black was looking forward to some peace and quiet at Beauxbatons.

    Neither of them could have ever expected that the Triwizard Tournament would return after nearly two-hundred years.

    Hundreds of students will enter to have a shot at the coveted Triwizard Cup. But only three will be chosen – and only one will take home eternal glory.

    As soon as James had heard that the Triwizard Tournament would be returning to Hogwarts, he was sure he’d never wanted anything more than to win it. But James would soon learn, upon meeting a certain contender for the tournament from Beauxbatons, he hadn’t yet known what it meant to truly want something.

    Summary

    "Regulus knew the story of his birth well, his mother never missing a chance to tell him how he nearly killed both her and himself just by being born. She resented him for it and made it clear. But sometimes, late at night while he lay alone with his thoughts in his room, Regulus began to wonder if maybe he really did die that day, and now he was only a ghost haunting this lonely house. He drifted through the halls of Grimmauld Place silently, spending almost all of his time between the four walls of his room. Unlike Sirius, who got all of his parent’s attention, both good and bad, Regulus could go for lengths of time without being spoken to. He tested it, to see how long he could go before he was remembered, and it was always invariably Sirius who found him and spoke to him.

    He learned to fade into the background. When he was silent, his mother didn’t reprimand him with sharp slaps and sharper words. A ghost cannot be hit, cannot be hurt."

    Or:

    Regulus Black dies the day he is born. Somehow, this is the beginning of his story, and not the end.
