Anyone But Me

Harry Potter has never once asked, ‘Why me?’ Not when he went to save Ginny Weasley from the Chamber of Secrets. Not when his name came out of the Goblet of Fire. Not even when he learned about the prophecy. No, he’s never pitied himself for his situation or wished for relief from his responsibility, but for his friends he would ask that someone strong and worthy take his place. This is the story of his search for that worthy wizard or witch. Set in the Prelude to Destiny/Backfire Universe.

After making a wish and being sent to a different reality, Harry must come to terms with the strangers that raised him and the friends he does not know.

Harry had already been to the Chamber of Secrets. He knew the entrance. He could help fight. But in this new world, he could not speak to snakes or open the sink. So he had to watch others go before him. For the first time, knowing what it was to be on the sidelines.

Naomi Ryan woke up, but Harry Potter hadn't been the one to save her from the Chamber. He thought he should feel relief, but he didn't. He just feels empty.

In a new world where he recognizes no one, Harry is learning that even here he has never been just another boy.
