Summary
Voldemort, unexpectedly short on money and growing tired of both Wormtail's existence and Nagini's incessant pleas to eat the wizard, has a most brilliant idea: crowdfunding, and the first reward tier is a livestreamed broadcast of Nagini getting her wish. It is a massive success - and the people demand more.
Said 'people' just so happens to include one Boy-Who-Lived.

Summary
A missing scene taking place sometime between chapters twelve and thirteen of Dark Livestream:
In order to resist the Imperius Curse, one must naturally practice breaking free of it. And when Assistant admits he has managed some level of resistance already, Sir puts the curse on him to gauge the accuracy of that claim...
(The first chapter can be considered entirely canon-compliant to Dark Livestream, and the second chapter is a "what-if" bonus canon divergence from a particular point in the first.)

Summary
The morning after a divination ritual fails, Assistant wakes up in a very weird situation.
Harry Potter, meanwhile, is frustrated that he seems to have woken up in another place entirely, rather than come back to life from being hit by the Killing Curse.
(or: Assistant switches bodies with the Harry Potter of canon in the climactic arc of Deathly Hallows. This works out remarkably well for everyone, in the end.)
