David Hull was lucky enough to be reborn in the Wizarding World, and he has no desire to waste his good fortune by getting involved in anything so useless as politics or the Plot. Instead he plans on living out the second Blood War behind the safety of his wards, researching what catches his fancy and abusing his knowledge of the future and his magical prowess for every Pound it's worth. Unfortunately for David, fate rarely cares for the whims of mortals.If he wants to keep his comfortable sea-side town safe from the coming storm he just might have to fight for it.
