Harry Potter - Pandora's Box (13-17) (Patreon)

First! Please remember that there is an Important Poll Ongoing regarding My Hero Automata! Make sure you get your votes in!

With that reminder out of the way...time for this story to finally get a fresh infusion of content! It's been since, dear goodness, last June! Even then it was only a small update, sheesh! Well, better late than not at all, and this update is a solid 14,500 words. It also just about finishes up Harry's First year.

Yes, that's fast.

Under 45,000 words to get through Pre-Hogwarts and his first year, in fact.

Frankly, I always intended for the first 2-3 years of Hogwarts to go by relatively quickly. I'm not skipping them as they are important to establishing this very different Harry's motivations, goals, and build up phase. As in, showing him actually working up to the skills he has, rather than just giving them to him in Mary Sue OP protagonist fashion. As I hope most of you have realized by now, I try to show at least somewhat realistic power curves and development for characters. Since the really exciting stuff (to me) will happen in the later years though, I always intended to move through the first few years more swiftly.

That said, I think this particular release is a very nice mix of building up the basic pieces farther...and showing just how little respect I have for canon in this story. Ending with a solid bit of Harry getting to be a badass as that point is driven home ;-).

As always, the new bits of story are attached here in various formats, and I'll be updating the Master Files in the Pinned Post shortly. Enjoy some more of Harry Potter - Pandora's Box after entirely too long!

*Edit: You aren't crazy if you thought the chapter numbering was 14-18. I accidentally misnumbered the chapters (skipping chapter 13 unintentionally). Fixed versions are up now.
