New Fanfic and Crazy Year (Patreon)

Sorry I went radio silent.  The new story is giving me grief, and a teacher quit, leaving the rest of us having to cover the end of the year.  Wild times.  Anyway, I am struggling with the tone on my Dakota story, so I went back to Harry Potter to get a sense of the writing magic.  I ended up rewriting the first book, taking huge chunks from the original text as I worked on tone and pacing issues I'm having with my story. Anyway, if you want to read a slightly changed universe, you're welcome to it.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Butterfly

Philosophers argue that if a butterfly flaps its wings, the cumulative effect of small changes can cause a hurricane on the opposite side of the globe. Harry creates one small change. He’s embarrassed that a shop keeper wants Hagrid to move out of the way, so he decides to distract the man by asking for a book. Fate keeps trying to pull the world back toward its initial path, but as the changes start to accumulate, this world will be forever changed. Maybe Draco is a prat, but what will happen when he has a friend who will call him out on that? Lucius might be a Death Eater, but can he hate a young man he will come to know as his son’s friend? In fact, Harry’s one choice might upend years of manipulation and plotting and leave Dumbledore wondering what happened to his glorious plan to rid the world of Voldemort
