Focuses on an inquisitive Harry as he discovers that magic is real and learns about his place in the world. Ultimately, he will have to face off against a reborn Tom Riddle/Voldemort while discovering Ancient Magic that has long protected Hogwarts. This is a repost of a lost/deleted story and I am editing/posting again. Harry/Cedric SLASH. Paternal RL&SB. Supportive MM&SS.

What if the Goblet of Fire had a requirement to protect its champions from harm/death outside of the tournament until it was completed? How would that have changed the course of Harry's life if the goblet had altered the killing curse that had been aimed at Cedric to something else instead? Slash. Harry/Cedric initially but then Harry/Charlie. Character Death/Incapacitation.

Focuses on an inquisitive Harry as he discovers that Magic is real and learns about his family. Starting from the summer before his first year. I will try and keep the essence of the characters while mixing canon/non-canon events. There will be war and character death. Slash: Harry/Cedric. Currently in third year.
