Ficrec: "Smart not brave" by Bluemaple.
Hi all,
Recommending a work that truly takes a creative turn from the start. An honestly fantastic professor Flitwick with both Harry and Neville ending up in his house. For those who feel Dumbledore's letting the rivalry get out of hand should have consequences, well..read at least to chapter 5. And there is hands down the best batman line ever! Oh and Neville gets a fantastic moment in the first potions class. Fine unique quality storytelling speaking personally. Smart, Not Brave by BlueMaple Summary: In another universe of possibilities where the butterflies are busy, young Harry's destiny changes on the twitch of an unwitting stranger's roving eye... "I told you, didn't I? That he left you on the doorstep?" she says bitterly. "On Hallowe'en night, with a note? A note, telling me that your parents... That my baby sister... Had been murdered? The man lives in some kind of self-narrated fairy tale, boy, and he's decided that you're his hero. Well, let me tell you something. Your mother and father were heroes. Your world... It was full, by all reports, of heroes, during that war that they kept going on about, and there are precious few of them... Precious few of them... Who were left alive at the end of it. And he was clear, very clear, wasn't he, when he left you here with instructions that you be kept safe, at the possible - no, definite - expense of my own family... That it wasn't over?" Eleven-year-old Harry says nothing. Petunia Dursley turns her head and looks at him. "Don't be brave, boy," she tells him fiercely. "Your parents were brave. They died. Be smart. Be smart instead, and live. On your own terms. No one else's. Ever." Enjoy, Kare |

I admit the summary drew me in such that I did not check the tags. It seems the writer intends a Harry Neville parring. Just being forthright. Kare On Thu, 12 Oct 2023, Sharon wrote:
