The Prophecy Rewritten

“Enough idle talk. You expect me to stand by and watch my daughter marry into a family of blood traitors?” Her gaze swept across the room, landing on James with open disdain. “The Potters have no respect for tradition, for purity. They are an insult to everything the Black name stands for.”James shifted uncomfortably, glaring back at her. “Oh, I’m sorry, Mrs. Black. I didn’t realize ‘family honor’ included raising a bunch of people who think the sun shines out of their own—”“Enough.” Dumbledore’s voice, quiet but commanding, sliced through the escalating tension. “I understand your concerns, but I must remind you that this union is not a matter of personal preference. It is a necessity for the survival of our world. To birth the boy of the prophecy, to stop the rise of Death Eaters.”===Or, if Regulus Black was born a female. In this world, James Potter never married Lily Evans. Instead, he entered an arranged marriage with his best friend’s sister, fulfilling Dumbledore’s plan to bring the child of the prophecy into existence. Harry was born, Regulus still discovered the horcrux—but this time, she was not alone. And that one change turned everything upside down.
