One moment, Y/N is falling asleep in her dorm room, listening to the rain hit the glass in the autumn of 1975. The next, she wakes up in an unfamiliar four-poster bed. The room is dead silent, the air cold and heavy with the scent of silver polish and lake water. The bedside table holds two things. A schedule showing everyone is supposed to be in double Potions. And a copy of the daily profit that reads October 20th 1995. Twenty years vanished in a single breath. In 1975, her friends searched for her until the whispers faded. Eventually, the castle moved on. Her name became a ghost story, then a footnote, then nothing at all. Y/N is back in a Hogwarts that has entirely reshaped itself without her—surrounded by strangers who bear the faces of her old classmates and desperate to figure out how she lost two decades of her life.
