Title: Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality
Description: Unlike J. K. Rowling's original books, in which the orphaned Harry Potter is raised by the abusive Dursley family, in this story Harry's aunt Petunia marries Oxford University Professor Michael Verres-Evans, and Harry is homeschooled by his parents in science and rational thinking before learning about magic and traveling to the wizarding school Hogwarts.
At Hogwarts, this alternate universe Harry first attempts to apply the scientific method to the study of magic. The story proceeds to describe a more complicated system of politics in Magical Britain than found in the original books, with Harry liaising with Quirrell, unaware he is possessed by Lord Voldemort. The story ends with Voldemort's defeat but Dumbledore's banishment to an alternate dimension.
The story takes place during a single year, covering the same time period as the first volume of Rowling's original series.

Definition: When you have a thought, you write it down.
You figure out whether, if your life were a fantasy novel, these words would be spoken by figures wearing black robes, and speaking in a dry, whispering voice, and they are actually withered beings who touched the Stone of Evil
If so then you don’t listen
