What If Albus Dumbledore Raised Harry Potter

Join us for an alternate Harry Potter story. On November 1, 1981, Albus Dumbledore refuses to leave baby Harry on the cold pavement of Privet Drive. He wraps the child in his traveling cloak and carries him to Hogwarts. Harry grows up within the stone walls of the castle. Dumbledore raises him personally. Life at Hogwarts shapes a very different Harry. Under Dumbledore's guidance, he studies wand theory and library books years ahead of his classmates. He knows who he is. When he boards the Hogwarts Express on September 1, he steps onto the train calm and self-possessed, without the fear of a boy kept in a cupboard. Dumbledore's lessons change Harry's confrontation with Tom Riddle's memory in the Chamber of Secrets. In his third year, Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew meet a boy who already knows the truth beneath the Whomping Willow. The trials only grow harder. Can Harry withstand Dolores Umbridge's detentions at Hogwarts, and the ambush waiting in the Department of Mysteries? When Voldemort returns, he finds Hogwarts ready. Harry does not face the dark alone; he stands with Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix. In the headmaster's office, Fawkes rests on his golden perch beside rolled parchment and a pot of tea. Settle in and unwind. Made for relaxing or falling asleep, this calm Harry Potter story lets you rest inside an alternate wizarding world.
