Of Halloween Nightmares Past

Dick Grayson was born less than a week before Halloween. This puts him 15 months younger than Harry. What if they are brothers and circumstances lead them to live separate lives, both without knowledge of the other, for reasons that fall entirely to fate, only to meet years later after Dick has retired from being Robin and Harry has just watched Voldemort return. Toss in some batfamily, with Jason and Dick still learning to be brothers. Oh, and now Dick suddenly has an older brother... who has magic. Huh, maybe Gotham isn't the strangest place on Earth. But only just maybe.

This is canon compliant for Harry Potter up until the end of book four, and canon divergent after that point. Any differences in canon for prior to book four can and should be explained by a lack of records, and an extreme need for secrecy.Canon divergent for DC, because well…. The comics kinda suck at continuity, so, I just pulled a bunch of it together.Note, in one version of comic canon Dick was born in Oct. the week before Halloween. Also, in a version of canon (who even knows which one) the Graysons died on Halloween… and plot bunnies. So basically, Dick is biologically related to the Potters and was adopted by the Graysons, an idea which was inspired by a fic by the lovely and amazing DreamersMyth27. This fic will take inspiration from Young Justice and various other, well everything really. It does take place after Dick retires from being Robin, and, for the sake of this story, he is 14. This is before he starts as Nightwing. Additionally, Jason has been taken in by Bruce, he is 12, and he is somewhere early in the year or so of training he undergoes before he starts really going out as Robin. There will be a lot of canon divergence, but I will try my best to accurately portray aspects of each character, and as things will diverge, certain things down the line might be drastically different. Much of my research is through the two friends who know way more about canon than me, as well as the internet.Not giving it any specific dates as years go… more just dates relative to one another. Technology is probably going to be the only indication of year, but…. Bruce Wayne and Justice League all exist, so if you want, you are welcome to pretend it is the Harry Potter timeline. Or not.So, without further ado, the story.
