After dying in her previous life, she wakes up in the body of Harriet Nicole Potter, and quickly realizes she was never actually gone. Her old memories were just sealed away, buried somewhere she couldn't reach, until the end of the Fourth Year, when Voldemort's Killing Curse cracks the lock wide open. Everything comes back at once. A modern past. A magical present. And the truth about a world she thought she already understood. Wizards are only the surface. Monsters, gods, and entire hidden worlds exist far beyond Hogwarts, and none of it was ever built around her. Now fully aware of what she's actually walked into, Harriet wants exactly one thing: a good life, as little unnecessary trouble as possible, and her freedom left alone. The world, unfortunately, has other plans. Hogwarts is only the beginning. So if getting strong enough to protect her own peace is what it takes, fine. She will. Not for destiny. Not for some prophecy nobody bothered to ask her about. Just for herself. ⸻ I do not own Harry Potter, High School DxD, or any other franchises or related characters, settings, or universes referenced in this story.
