    Summary

    The Ministry of Magic states that The First Wizarding War began in 1970. It was about - as war always is - power. The before and after of it was struck from history books. Students did not learn how He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named came into power, nor did they know that the war was cold before the first attacks began, that the Ministry of Magic was slowly taken over by supporters of the so-called “Dark Sect.” Students did not know that when Harry Potter, The Boy Who Lived, defeated the “Dark Lord,” a slew of scared, tired, and foolish ministry officials began to twist history.

    You, dear readers, know as any citizen knows that their government is not to be trusted completely. If you were a child, introduced to this world for the first time, would you accept the truths that authority gives you? Or would you search for more?
    This is not the story you thought you knew.

    Summary

    Inspired by a post on Tumblr, this is a AU story set during Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts, with one big, foul-mouthed difference. Instead of Horace Slughorn, the position of Potions professor will be taken on by...Gordon Ramsay.

    Summary

    Before his third year of Hogwarts has even begun, Harry faces three whole weeks of unsupervised time in Diagon Alley. In that time he takes a trip to Gringotts - and that changes everything.

    Burdened with the knowledge that Dumbledore has been blocking his family magic, and manipulating far more than he ever thought possible, Harry doesn't know who he can trust; but he knows he can't keep going that way. There's a whole world of lore and politics and history to catch up on, and the more he learns, the more Harry realises his true place in the world, and how much is being kept hidden from him. All the while, Dumbledore's twinkling eyes are constantly watching, and Harry can't let on how much he knows.

    With help from unexpected places, Harry starts on a journey to end the war, and reshape the wizarding world. With how much he looks like James Potter, people have forgotten one important thing about him - he is Lily Evans' son, and she was one hell of a witch.
