what if

Summary:

Spin-offs for “The Difference Between Living and Not Dying” by Rbook that explore “what if” scenarios diverging from Rbook's fic.

Including, but not limited to, Draco recognizing “Wormtail”, having a conversation with Remus about wolves, Draco sending Dumbledore a howler, and Severus realizing that Draco is actually a time traveller.

NEWEST CHAPTER: Justin Finch-Fletchley rallies Hogwarts over the poor safety standards.

Notes:

As always, this is inspired by “The Difference Between Living and Not Dying” by Rbook, so spoiler warning!

However, these snippets will be diverging from what happened in Rbook's fic. Each chapter is unrelated unless stated otherwise.

Enjoy!

To Be Completed:

DONE! (…as of now)

 

Marked COMPLETE as of now - but feel free to recommend any other what if scenarios! 

Notes:

These works are going to be a lot shorter than the others in this series, probably less than 1k words per chapter. They're just fun little explorations on certain scenes from TDBLAND because Rbook's fic is amazing and the AU they have written has given me so many different ideas
