Summary
Albus Dumbledore's letter inviting Tom Riddle to interview for the Defense position after his travels abroad made it clear he had no chance of getting hired. Instead of subjecting himself to a doomed and humiliating job interview, Tom Riddle invited himself to the Slug Club’s Beltane Soiree of ‘67. He had unfinished business with Horace Slughorn. Unbeknownst to him, so did Seventh Year Lily Evans.

Summary
The storm of war has finally passed, and the Dark Lord is gone. For Petunia and her chosen family, surviving the war was hard enough – but peacetime has presented new challenges to them all: The Evans sisters have a business to get off the ground. Regulus and Alastor have to find a way to balance their love life and their work life. Severus has to find his way as a new professor with students not much younger than himself. And the remaining Marauders must come to terms with their actions and the betrayal that almost destroyed them all.
As the adults try to navigate the ups and downs of their post-war lives, the children of the war spend their days blissfully unaware. All Harry, Ethan, and Neville want to do is play and explore together – but there are many important things for them to learn about themselves and the magical world around them before they head off to Hogwarts someday.
Set in the immediate aftermath of the First Wizarding War as established in Flowers by the Wayside and carrying through till September 1991 when the Boy Who Lived, his cousin who shouldn’t exist, and The Boy Who Almost Was will take their first steps towards destiny, to one day pick up the fight that their parents began.

Summary
After her husband is unfaithful and her cookie-cutter perfect world is turned on its head, Petunia Evans Dursley finds herself in her old hometown, full of regrets and feeling that her life has been without purpose. Before she can quietly take her own life, she is given an impossible offer by a long-dead figure from the magical world: return to the past, and rewrite her own history. Seeing it as a chance to make up for her biggest regret, Petunia accepts and finds herself in the middle of a Wizarding war she knew little about, protecting the younger sister she tried to forget by seeking help from the one person in the magical world she knows how to find.
A what-if story beginning in the latter years of the first war against Voldemort, where an unlikely alliance turns into an even more unlikely romance, and the bonds that bloom from it will change the course of Wizarding history.
