    Summary

    Harry loves being a wizard, but he never developed any patriotic feelings for wizard society, having grown up muggle, nor a love of British wizards, having faced alternating dehumanising adulation and vilification for three years with nothing real in between. When his name comes out of the Goblet of Fire, he has the support of Remus and Sirius, and they can't get out of Britain quick enough.
    Harry graduates from Ilvermorny, agrees with Hermione on a slow plan to take back Britain from Voldemort without any great battles, hoping to minimise the loss of life on their side that the civil war in the 1970s saw, and with the goal of eradicating the status quo.
    They get their masteries and enlist a small group of similar minds to start a school for the muggleborns that are no longer accepted at Hogwarts. They live in hiding and try to protect the muggles from the Death Eaters in small skirmishes.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Someone’s decided to do the resistance right. The initial stations of the canon bit is presented in a fun and readable way, but the point seems to be to get us to The Resistance in a believable way, which I believe the author has achieved.

    Summary

    When Sally-Anne Perks sets off for her first year at Hogwarts School of Magic, she never expected how hard making friends would be. She always felt a little like a background character in her own life. Now, unfortunately for her, she'll be spending a lot of time in her first year at school. She has to. Because if she doesn't; people will die...

    Follow one of the background characters of Hogwarts as she tries to navigate the magical world whilst saving the friends she makes along the way, all whilst trapped within a time loop she can't seem to escape. Giant trolls, dark lords, giant snakes, and more await Sally-Anne Perks. Hopefully she doesn't die too often!

    Wow. This is so good. Kind of harrowing, but also sweet. Not a trace of mean spirit either.

    Summary

    What if Harry had taken a look at the dragon in the Tournament and realised he wasn't facing a challenge but a monster? And instead of being a hero had noped out; and ended up with a whole other kind of adventure? One with Merlin, and magic, and more friends, and solving problems with his brain. Oh, and Ron doesn't mysteriously lose his strategic abilities, Malfoy gets seriously into philosophy, and Neville has a bigger part to play.

    This is so delightful. :)

    Also good. Let us just say that Merlin’s take on magic is a bit. Different.

    This is really well done. Author is really trying to portray the characters as real, fallible humans.
