hello! im searching for an old fic, and i was directed towards you guys. it was recommended to me through tumblr, and the link took me to a site that had pdfs of each book. the fic was extremely long, it was as if the author had rewritten the whole series. harry/Draco of course. harry has a twin, and when Voldemort comes to their house the brother gets a heart scar and harry either still has the lightning bolt, or something different. lily and james survive, and they raise the two boys. harry in slytherin, brother in griffindor. at the beginning of the series harry seems obsessed with protecting his brother. like it’s all he’s meant for. you find out later on it’s because his mother did some magic on him that tied his will or something to being his brothers protector, and she also basically abused him. there’s a whole trial about it later on. it’s honestly one of the best well written conflicting trauma stories ive read, it helped me a lot. magic is a bit different in the story. harry is so strong he’s on a whole different level of magic. it’s like a special kind of level, and Voldemort happens to be on it. we meet the other higher level wizards too, there’s not a lot of them. i don’t remember if there’s a special name for them. i think wizards declare themselves light or dark, and there is a lot of politics around it. dumbledore is a light wizard, but in the end he’s basically the worst, trying to keep harry under the spell and help Harry’s mother because he thinks it’s the right thing. snape becomes a mentor as well, though it takes a lot because harry has been through so much. wizards can also inherit special powers either through just being lucky or someone gives it to them. Draco isn’t lucky, and I think he created his own spell to ask an ancestor to hand down her power? and he gets the ability to go into peoples minds. like i said, extremely long! it felt like I’d read the Bible or something longer lmao
