|The Iron Duke, Lord Harry James Potter, '''''The Dark Wars: Empire's War''''' }}
 
It is Halloween, 1981. A dark wizard known as Lord Voldemort, after gathering information from his Death Eater Peter Pettigrew, goes to Godric's Hollow in order to kill the child prophesized to defeat him. After a fight with the elder Potters, he finds Harry Potter hidden in a closet, but when he casts the Killing Curse, it rebounds on a golden shield and kills Voldemort's body, and his spirit is then contained within an object by Matthew Potter and Alexandra Potter's fiancée, Maximilian Roberts. James and Lily Potter, knowing what may happen when word of this is spread, hide into the Muggle world with their three children (Alexandra, Matthew and Harry), Maximilian and their friends Sirius Black and Remus Lupin, only revealing themselves to the Magical world again sixteen years later, being inducted as nobles of the British Empire in the meantime.

Not your usual fanfic, eh?
 
''[[The Dark Wars]]'' is a ''[[Harry Potter]]'' fan Fanfictionfiction written by Panamanian [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1227033/# Marquis Black], consisting on four parts. It starts in September, 1997, when a Death Eater attack on Diagon Alley is stopped by a group of redcoats led by Lieutenant-Colonel Harry James Potter of the Imperial Army, ending with nearly all Death Eaters dead or dying. This attracts the attention of Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft and leader of the Order of the Phoenix, who has spent much time in the last years attempting to find the Potter family after they mysteriously disappeared when Voldemort was first defeated. When Harry Potter and his army are sent to Hogwarts in order to establish camp there for attacks on possible Death Eater safe houses in Scotland, Dumbledore starts to make plans in order to make sure that the whole side of the Light is under his orders, but he doesn't know that other, stronger and stranger forces are part of the game, and what Dumbledore and many others had hoped would just be a chess game suddenly turns into something far more complicated and confusing...
