Title: Heirs of Jörmungandr
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Pairing: Harry/Tom Riddle, background James/Lily
Content Notes: AU (no Voldemort), Minister Tom Riddle, angst, violence, Parseltongue, pureblood bigotry, politics
Rating: : R
Summary: AU. After Grindelwald made his way to magical Britain itself during the war and panicked the populace, the purebloods in control of the Ministry managed to both authorize the casting of a spell that makes magical British areas hostile to witches and wizards not born there, and to pass a law that ensured only those possessing the Gift of a pureblood family can inherit money or houses. Decades later, Harry, who wasn’t born with the Potter Gift, is preparing to leave for the Muggle world when Minister Tom Riddle finds him and persuades him to try a risky ritual that will make him a Parselmouth if it succeeds—and change their prejudiced world.
Author’s Notes: This is one of my “From Samhain to the Solstice” chaptered stories being posted between Halloween and the winter solstice. As you can see from the summary, it’s a massive AU, so don’t assume things function as canon. It should have six to seven parts. In Norse mythology, Jörmungandr is another name for the Midgard Serpent, the ouroboros that encircles the world.
