Summary
The Deities have a funny way of apologizing, Harry decides. They don’t offer him a choice so much as they force one. Not as the Boy Who Lived, but as the grandson who never was.
Two years after the war, he’s tired, haunted by ghosts, estranged from friends, and uncertain what peace is supposed to feel like. When the Deities intervene, it’s not mercy that sends him back, but purpose.
The morning after the war’s anniversary, Harry wakes in 1977 with his grandparents alive, his father still a student, and Voldemort on the rise all over again. Posing as a distant cousin, he becomes part of the family he never knew.
But as Harry rebuilds what history took from him, his father begins dreaming of a future filled with war and loss.
And for the first time, the past and future Potters are fighting the same battle, to make sure the story doesn’t end the same way twice.
