    Summary

    The first thing Wei Ying became aware of was cold steel at his throat.
    Not one blade—several.
    He did not move.

    Sleep still clung to him, heavy and disorienting, but instinct burned through it fast enough. His eyes cracked open to darkness cut by lantern light, and beyond it, the rigid silhouettes of Gusu Lan disciples. White robes. Swords steady. Not trembling.
    Not a mistake, then.

    Wei Ying let out a slow breath, careful not to shift against the edge pressing lightly into his skin. “Well,” he said, voice rough with sleep, “this is a new way to wake up.”

    No one laughed.
    That, more than the swords, told him something was very wrong.

    “You will come with us,” one disciple said. Young. Formal. Afraid—but hiding it well. “You are to be detained and questioned.”

    “Questioned?” Wei Ying echoed. His mind raced, sifting through the previous day. Punishments—yes. Lan Wangji standing over him like a silent judge. Copying rules until his wrist ached. Kneeling until his legs went numb. Nothing new, nothing unusual, nothing that should end with… this.

    He frowned. “Did I break a new rule I haven’t heard of yet?”

    Summary

    "Yer a wizard, Harry..."
    "You are mistaken, sir," Henry said firmly. "I’m aware of what my parents were. But I am not… that sort of person. I’m normal."

    "I'll be a dentist in a year," Hermione replied with a pleasant smile when Petunia asked. The woman's eyes sparkled, and she shot a look at Henry.
    "I'm delighted you joined us, Miss Granger," she said with visible pleasure.
    "Hermione is just fine," the young witch assured quickly.
    Henry knew what his mother was thinking. He didn't correct her. Not that he would engage in a relationship with Hermione. Well... if she were a dentist, he could, but a full-time witch? Not a chance.

    Harry Potter quickly adjusted to living with the Dursleys. He quickly adapted their norms as his own.
    Hogwarts? No, thank you. I'll be an Oxford-educated lawyer, let's be serious.
    But what if deleting such a huge part of his identity wasn't really a good idea? Or was it?
