Notes:

PART 1-PATHS TO CLARITY
Summer before 3rd year, Harry goes to stay with a distant cousin in Aalsmeer, Amsterdam, who just so happens to be his potions professor’s husband.
What will happen in Amsterdam and more importantly, how will it affect Harry’s life from now on?

PART 2- SNAPE-BOUCHARD
Xander and Severus’s complicated love story unfolds through passion, secrets, healing, parenthood, and unexpected revelations.

PART 3-TIES THAT BIND US
As June turned into July, the Bouchard family—Harry now fully included—began to adjust to the new additions in their household. Between Catherine Bouchard (Xander’s mother), Sirius Black (the escaped convict turned innocent), and Peter Pettigrew (the traitorous rat), Pettigrew was ironically the least problematic, though he was locked up in the basement.

PART 4-WISHING AND HOPING
Lily hopes. James hopes.

PART 5-FALLEN PIECES
It's the start of the new school year at Hogwarts. The usual excitement and anticipation fill the air as students bustle through the halls, eager to begin another term. The enchanted ceiling in the Great Hall reflects the clear September skies, and professors settle in at the staff table, ready for the Sorting Ceremony.
But something is off—Albus Dumbledore feels it the moment he steps into the Hall. He scans the crowd of incoming first-years, his keen blue eyes searching, his long fingers twitching slightly. It's an unconscious habit of his, one that betrays his unease. The moment he can no longer avoid, the missing piece he dreads, strikes like a cold wind: Harry Potter is not there.

 

PART 6-FINAL BREATH
A year at Ilvermorny had changed Harry in ways no one could have imagined. When the Triwizard Tournament was announced, and Ilvermorny students joined in place of Durmstrang, the event drew schools from across the wizarding world to Hogwarts. But when Harry returned to his old school, his friends had barely even recognized the boy who had left, and soon, whispers spread. It wasn’t long before the truth came to light: the so-called Boy-Who-Lived had died long before Hogwarts ever had a chance to save him.
