Chapter 1: The Deflection at Godric's Hollow
Everyone in the wizarding world knew that James Potter and Lily Evans were a couple. However, only their tightest, innermost circle knew the deeper truth: they were in a polyamorous relationship, secretly dating both Regulus Black and Severus Snape. In that same trusted circle, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin were also happily dating.
Together, this unconventional family lived in hiding at Godric’s Hollow, fiercely protecting one another from the raging wizarding war.
On Halloween night in 1981, Voldemort breached their wards. He expected to find a helpless infant, but the soul resting inside the crib belonged to none other than Wei Wuxian, the legendary Yiling Laozu.
Born with full memories of his past life and his exact original body, Harry immediately understood the danger his family faced. As Voldemort raised his wand and shouted the Killing Curse, Baby Harry didn't cry. Instead, he reached out into the atmosphere, instantly manipulating the dense, ambient resentful energy created by the sheer terror and oncoming murder in the house.
He formed a flawless, pitch-black barrier of dark energy. The green light of the Killing Curse slammed into the barrier and cleanly reflected straight back at Voldemort, completely vaporizing the Dark Lord's physical body on the spot. Because his infant body was too young to actively hunt down the remaining, disembodied specter of the Dark Lord, Voldemort's broken main soul fled into the night as a weak, tattered ghost.
