6	InAWorld where Tom Riddle [[ButterflyOfDoom launched a political party instead of a war]], there is widespread and legally enforced [[FantasticRacism discrimination against non-purebloods]]. [[GenderFlip Harriet Potter]] grew up with both of her parents and all of the Marauders [[SparedByTheAdaptation alive and well]], but as a half-blood, she isn't allowed to attend Hogwarts (and [[BureaucraticallyArrangedMarriage worse]] [[MalignedMixedMarriage restrictions]] are coming).

8	She isn't going to let that stop her from getting a world-class Potions education under Professor Snape, though, and so she plots with her pure-blooded cousin Arcturus Black to [[TwinSwitch swap identities]] during the school year. Too bad that they didn't realise how outstanding she could really be, and how much attention "Rigel Black" would attract from those who would use or control "him" -- especially Tom Riddle himself.
