Summary
What if, instead of being caught completely unprepared when the Dark Lord Voldemort came for them that fateful Halloween night in 1981, Lily and James Potter had made a fail-safe plan for the worst-case scenario? What if they were more than just loving parents—they were strategic and ready to protect their son at all costs? Imagine a world where Harry grew up loved, cared for, and cherished as he always deserved. Now, picture him returning to the Wizarding world, fully prepared, and ready to fight for his rightful place.Disclaimer: I do not own the Harry Potter series; it belongs entirely to J.K. Rowling. I receive no monetary benefit from writing this fanfic, nor will I be publishing or distributing it for profit. Update: Guys, I am taking a haitus on this fic for the moment.
Note
This story explores how Harry Potter's life could have been different if the adults around him had been better prepared for the war. My goal is to give Harry the best possible life while addressing some of the plot holes in the original series.Please keep in mind, this is my very first fanfic and my first attempt at writing anything substantial. You don’t have to love it, but I kindly ask for respectful comments. Any kudos would be greatly appreciated, and constructive criticism is always welcome.This hasn’t been beta-read, though I’ve gone through it a couple of times. There may still be some mistakes. If you come across anything particularly egregious, please let me know so I can address it promptly!P.S.: Please do not post my work on other websites—especially without my explicit permission. Also, feel free to reach out if you're interested in translating this story. Thank you!
