Rise To Power

Harry Potter is born in the summer of 1980, 35 years after the last War. Peace in his time was promised, but may not be provided. Voldemort met his end at the hands of fate on Samhain, 1981. But now, in 1991, a famous French alchemist is found dead. The French Senate blames Britain for the murder... and theft. Tensions rise in Europe. And in Nurmengard, an old man plots. [AU]
