[Harry Potter] Kindness and Crown

James Potter was killed by Voldemort. He was killed by Voldemort, who burst through the door on his son's birthday. But after his death, he made an exchange: he regained his life and returned to more than ten years earlier, when he was a fifth-year student at Hogwarts. Everything seemed unchanged. His friends, teachers, and parents all seemed so young, so full of life, and so unaware. Only the Dark Lord who had killed him stood at the height of his power, with the entire Wizarding World under his dark rule. He alone knew the tragedy that was about to come. To prevent it, he made a second exchange. Yet James would never have imagined that his two exchanges would lead everyone toward the most heartrending ending of all, and make him witness a twisted, chilling truth he had never expected, buried beneath the dust of history. ...The above is the serious teaser. In short, this is a story about how the Lion Founder teaches the little lions to cheat properly. The pairing is Voldemort/James, Slytherin/Gryffindor (the slash indicates top/bottom). Slow burn, lots of foreshadowing, serious in tone, not biased toward Slytherin, and neither demonizing nor whitewashing anyone. I aim to recreate the most authentic Wizarding World possible. There will be new settings and characters, but my abilities are limited, so please bear with me. Thank you for reading. Theme:
