Summary
Six months after the war, Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts—not as the Boy Who Lived, but as someone learning how to live again. Haunted by memories and unsure who he is without a battle to fight, Harry finds himself untethered in a school that feels both familiar and foreign.
Then there’s Theodore Nott—quiet, sharp-tongued, and infuriatingly hard to read. A Slytherin who shouldn’t matter, but somehow keeps showing up. With every teasing word and unreadable glance, Theo begins to slip past Harry’s defenses, settling into his life in ways Harry never saw coming.
But nothing was ever simple for Harry Potter. The battles he fought are not truly over, and the past is not done with him. Secrets linger in whispered voices and forgotten books. Shadows stretch out from bloodlines and betrayals, and the truth—about his family, about Theo, about himself—is darker and more complicated than he’s ready to face.
While forming an unlikely group of friends, and slow-burning feelings, Harry realizes that surviving the war was only the beginning. Because some curses don’t kill. Some bind.
And some were cast long before he was born.

Summary
Harry Potter's summer before his fifth year isn't easy. Struggling with the memories of Voldemort's return and Cedric's death, and stuck at the Dursleys', he's cut off from the magical world. A sleepless night leads him down the cobblestone paths of Diagon Alley in search of answers, where he unexpectedly bumps into Theodore Nott. He asks him for a small favor, sparking a series of events that deviate from the original storyline.
In this alternate universe, the prophecy linking Harry and Voldemort is different – it's not about Horcruxes anymore. Harry still has to deal with him, while at the same time escaping Dumbledore's manipulative games, in which he drags Harry to ensure the 'Greater Good' for Magical Britain.

Summary
“I’m leaving.” Merlin says, because this situation already cost him his Duolingo streak, and he’s too tired to deal with Arthur when the food Gaius is serving him looks like it belongs on a list of war crimes committed by the Canadian soldiers.
“Where to?” His mentor asks, and Merlin shrugs, before going to his room and packing his bag.
“India. Gaius, I have decided I don’t give a damn, especially not when having to eat that bland food. I’ll be back in three months, make sure Arthur doesn’t die when I’m out.”
“Merlin!” And maybe, if he was younger and didn’t travel back to the past last month, he would’ve actually cared about the ‘eyebrow of disapproval’.
Or, a 1500yo Merlin gets zapped to the past during his vacation to Cuba. You’d think he’s happy to see Arthur again. He’s not.
