[Harry Potter] The Heroine Doesn't Want to Predict the Future

Prophecies flicker through the dreams of a young Seer, but Ethelyn Shafiq has no idea that she has seized the tail of fate.

The orphan living at Shafiq Manor keeps two things beside her pillow: her mother's alchemy notes and the brass orrery taken from the Astronomy Tower.

"Ravenclaw!" The Sorting Hat announces, shattering Ethelyn's dream of being sorted into the same house as her new friends. Harry is still marveling at her straight O grades, while Snape insists she serve the seventh detention of the school year: "Miss Shafiq clearly needs more time to think."

The most terrifying thing isn't seeing death in advance, but that none of the fragments ever show her own reflection.

At last, Ethelyn understands: she has never appeared in the prophecies because she is the most important knight on the board.

She will prove that the greatest magic isn't the Killing Curse, but letting those who are doomed to die see tomorrow's sunrise. As the Death Eaters storm Hogwarts at Voldemort's command, Ethelyn tosses a pile of shattered Horcruxes onto the ground. "Sir, which one are you looking for?"

Over 300,000 words are already written.

Content warning: At the beginning, the heroine's prophetic gift is not powerful. Her prophetic dreams are no different from ordinary dreams. They can be chaotic, and it's perfectly normal for her to forget them when she wakes up.

Ethelyn's gift becomes clearer as she starts school and her magic grows stronger. It's simply one area where she differs from other wizards in the magical world, much like Harry's talent for flying, Hermione's talent for spells, or Neville's talent for herbology.

This can be read as the story of an ordinary witch with virtually no golden finger.

About the male lead: The story focuses on the heroine's everyday life and is told mostly from her point of view, rather than being a romance. Her pairing is Severus Snape. But S.S. is not a pedophile, so the main couple's romance won't begin until Ethelyn is around fifteen.

Theme: From observer to creator
