We always thought it would be easy - or at least, easier than this.

Starting a family was the next chapter we were so ready for. After years of tour buses, locker rooms, sold-out stadiums, and quiet nights tangled up on the couch, we finally looked at each other and said, "Let's do it. Let's build something even bigger - a family."

I imagined it all: the baby shoes lined up in the hallway, lullabies replacing love songs, tiny fingers wrapping around ours. Travis would be the kind of dad who cried at every school play and coached little league with a heart too big for his chest. And me? I just wanted to see my whole world in someone's eyes.

But when the doctor sat me down, everything changed.

Low ovarian reserve.
Those words echoed like thunder, even as I smiled politely and nodded like I understood what that meant. All I really heard was, You might never have a child of your own.

IVF became our lifeline - our monthly ritual of hope and heartbreak. Shots. Pills. Early mornings. Hormones that made me feel like I was spinning out of control. We did it all for three years. Three long, soul-tearing years. Each cycle brought a new wave of belief and then... nothing. No heartbeat on the screen. No nursery to paint. Just silence and more space where dreams were supposed to go.

Travis held me every time I broke. He never tried to fix it - just sat with me in the quiet, wiping my tears, whispering, "We'll figure this out, baby. We will."

And one night, after another failed round and hours of holding each other on the kitchen floor, we finally said the words that changed everything.

"Maybe our child isn't supposed to come from me."

It felt like letting go and holding on at the same time.

We didn't give up on our dream. We just found a new way to meet it. A different kind of miracle. And somewhere out there, a child is waiting - just like we are.

Not born from my body... but born for us.

Anna Watson's life was far from easy. A battle with cancer left her frail, defeated, and questioning her life's meaning. Her final moments were filled with regret for dreams unrealized and paths untaken. But when death embraced her, it wasn't the end-she awakened in an entirely new world: the wizarding world of Harry Potter. Yet, this wasn't the familiar era of Harry, Ron, and Hermione. She found herself in the time of the Marauders, a generation before the golden trio. Even more shocking, Anna had a new identity: Petunia Evans, the famously non-magical, bitter sister of Lily Potter. But this Petunia is different. Born as Lily's twin, Anna retains her memories of her past life and discovers she has magic-a shocking divergence from the character she once read about. Her magical abilities open up opportunities and challenges, not only for her but for her relationship with Lily, her new family, and the unfolding story of the wizarding world. As Anna navigates Hogwarts alongside the Marauders, Severus Snape, and her own twin, she realizes that the story she once knew is shifting. Her choices ripple across timelines, altering destinies and alliances. Struggling to reconcile her knowledge of the future with her growing affection for this new life, Anna must decide: should she preserve the world's fate or carve out a new destiny for herself and those she loves? In this thrilling twist on the Harry Potter universe, the story explores themes of second chances, sibling bonds, and the weight of choice, painting a vivid and detailed picture of what might have been if Petunia Evans had the magic to change it all.
