Like I hate this fic but it's also the first fic I ever wrote
Might orphan this fic because I unorphaned Harry
By which I mean Voldemort just never existed
This fic was written by a traumatized eleven year old
so it's pretty bad
This entire fic is the equivalent of
Kissing a boy whilst still not being over your
'Boys have cooties'
phase as a child
Summary
Basically, Voldemort just never existed. No war ever happened. Harry Potter is an ordinary eleven-year-old boy living in Godric's Hollow with his parents and four younger siblings about to go to Hogwarts Academy for Witchcraft and Wizardry and he's super excited and so are the large amount of adults involved in his life.A cringey fic with way too many original characters (the ideal amount is none, if you wanted to read about new people you'd just pick up a novel) about Harry's first year at Hogwarts, except he's not The Boy Who Lived he's just the son of a wizarding journalist and an ex-quidditch player.
Note
I have a mixed relationship with this fic because I wrote it when I was eleven and going through some serious shit for an eleven year old, so getting a fictional traumatized eleven-year-old some loving parents was like a coping mechanism. It's been years since I last checked this fic and on one hand it's badly written and on another it was the only thing that gave me joy and I really wanted to post it back then. And it may be bad but eleven-year-old me deserved some love and happiness so I'm going to fulfil her dream by posting this on ao3.
