Jona Diggory
By @M. E.
On a quiet Privet Drive evening, Dumbledore's plans for Harry Potter unravel. Petunia Dursley, confronted with the magical infant, incinerates the acceptance letter and discreetly abandons him three streets away. Fate intervenes as Marcela Rogers discovers the baby, her guests Amos and Celeste Diggory, along with their four-year-old son Cedric, present. Cedric, with childish certainty, declares the baby his new brother. The Diggorys, noticing embroidered broomsticks and snitches on his swaddling, assume he’s a wizarding orphan from a fallen Death Eater family and perform a blood adoption, erasing 'Harry Potter' from existence. Reborn as Jona Diggory, the scar vanished, and even the Diggorys perceive him as always their own. Now, in a world where Harry Potter is presumed dead and Neville Longbottom heralded as the Boy-Who-Lived, Jona carries a secret he doesn't even know he possesses. The magical world is oblivious to its true savior, and destiny, once averted, now seeks a new path.

Nathaniel Reed exists in the shadow of Theodore Nott, bound by a year-long unspoken arrangement. He's Nott's personal plaything, his heart entangled in a dangerous dance of desire and desperation. Nathaniel's only solace is the fleeting intimacy they share, fueled by a secret, unrequited love for the Slytherin heir. But Theodore harbors his own dark motivations, viewing Nathaniel as merely a means to an end, a pawn in a larger, more perilous game. As the lines blur between pleasure and manipulation, Nathaniel finds himself ensnared in a web of forbidden desires and political intrigue within Hogwarts' ancient walls. The wizarding world, already fractured, threatens to shatter as their clandestine encounters escalate, forcing Nathaniel to confront the brutal truth: his love might be the very weapon Theodore uses against him, and the price of his devotion could be his soul, or worse, his life. He must decide if he can break free from this toxic attachment before it consumes him entirely.
