there’s so many time travel fics where harry potter goes back in time to kill voldemort and ends up falling in love with him instead and saving the world with the redeeming power of love but like. okay. what if harry from the very start was like ‘look, death is kind of a big deal, i can’t possibly kill even voldemort in good conscience, especially when he hasn’t even done anything yet. so i’m just going to punch him in the face instead, and see what that does to the timeline.’ 

like. he’s got his invisibility cloak. he can just follow tom around and bop him one right in the snoot whenever he starts fucking around with the chamber of secrets, or diaries, or vulnerable children, or whatever. just really lay one on him. 

this would be a lot less ethically ambiguous and a lot more satisfying than murder! harry could even take pictures of his confused and upset face each time. ‘tom learns not to mess with basilisks’ ‘tom learns not to ask weird nosy questions about death magic’ ‘tom learns not to encourage pureblood supremacists’. 

harry potter. the boy who lived to throw a mean right hook. 

there are no words for how much i love this
