Prince of the Dark Kingdom

Prince of the Dark Kingdom is a Harry Potter For Want of a Nail fanfic under the premise that Voldemort won the first Wizarding War. The nail  is that Harry's parents fled the country instead of staying at Godric's Hollow. Not being defeated by Harry, Voldemort wins the Wizarding War and takes over the country as its new ruler. Instead of killing all the Muggleborns, he implements a series of policies to better integrate them into wizarding society. When Muggleborns first display signs of magic, an official from the Wizarding Youth Reclaimant Agency is dispatched to relocate them to wizarding orphanages, wiping their Muggle parents of their memories of their child.

Henrich, AKA Harry, is forced to live with the Dursleys when his parents are killed by addicts robbing their home in Germany. When Harry's Jerkass cousin Dudley mocks and licks a portrait of his mother, Henrich uses Accidental Magic in a fit of anger. Two days later, the WYRA arrives to reintroduce him to the Wizarding World and join the life his parents left behind, making new friends while meeting old relations and slowly carving out a place in the Wizarding World.
