    Summary

    Elodie Merriman couldn't accept that her favorite character didn't survive the books. She went to sleep in her bed in America in 2009 and woke up in a boarding house in the UK in 1994, having switched places with her magical self in another universe. Magical Elodie had a wand, a career, and a friend named Albus Dumbledore who had saved her from her jerk mentor--and now, Muggle Elodie had taken her place, magical ability and all.

    Step One: learn more magic, fast. Step Two: don't screw up the Wolfsbane her predecessor had started. Step Three: try not to forget how things are supposed to go, once you actually meet the real life Remus Lupin. And Step Four: nothing ever, ever goes to plan when Sirius Black is involved.

    On its face this is a Book Fan Wakes Up In Book World story. Inside, though, it’s a rich celebration of the adult characters in the books, with a trip through a slowly altered canon as the main character seeks to change things in a way that doesn’t get herself sent to Azkaban.
