Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
When a Wizard Wishes Upon a Star
by RandomBirdEvent
Harry Potter is stuck in a cell. The war is lost and he has been captured after his whole ‘coming back to life’ scenario. Whilst he wishes he could be positive and productive, it is fairly hard to do so when you know that all of your friends are either dead or sentenced to it, and you are stuck, powerless, in a cursed cell. So, Harry wishes on a star, in a bleak, melancholic sort of way, for it to give him a chance to make it all right and save the day like he was supposed to.He doesn’t expect for it to actually work. He certainly doesn’t expect for it to work so much that he would be sent back in time. And yet, there he is at King’s Cross Station, inhaling the fossil fuels of the 1940s, bound for Hogwarts. He should have asked the star for an easier ride.
