The year 2001
Things at the ministry appeared normal
Albus Dumbledore had been appointed Minister of Magic, despite rumors of the Dark Lord’s attempt to destroy the long time rival. The Ministry seemed to be more successful than it had been in years. With the appointment of the Dumbledore’s only daughter as Headmistress of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the school was, likewise, thriving.
Despite the Death Eater’s continued aggressions,
things seemed to be progressing more smoothly than anyone might have expected.

Despite the Death Eater’s continued aggressions,
things seemed to be progressing more smoothly than anyone might have expected.
But, things wouldn’t remain as such for too long…
With the intention of making the world an even better place
A skilled wizard ventured back in time.
To attempt to prevent the Death Eaters from attempting to take Albus Dumbledore’s live
And to protect Ariana Dumbledore from the troubles her life would bring her
The wizard couldn’t have predicted the wide reaching effects his attempts to manipulate the past would have.
But, indeed, the future had been changed
It was not Harry Potter whom the Dark Lord had marked as his equal…
It was Neville Longbottom the Dark Lord had come to kill those many years ago. The Longbottoms had sacrificed themselves to save their son. In this new page of reality, it was Longbottom who the Dark Lord had transferred some of his power to. Neville Longbottom had grown up, followed with the reputation as the Boy Who Lived.
Harry Potter had grown up in a normal family, cared for by two loving parents. The young Potter had been sorted into Slytherin house and become close friends with Draco Malfoy. The parent-less Neville Longbottom had been raised under his careful gran’s eyes but lacks the true love of parents. As a Gryffindor, he became close friends with the muggle-born Hermione Granger and pure-blood Ronald Weasley.
As before, the year is 2001. Albus Dumbledore still sits behind the desk of the Minister of Magic and Ariana Dumbledore still watches over the students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. However, little beyond that remains the same as it once was.
