Hogwarts: I'm More Than a Dark Lord Novel

William Richard, a freshly graduated wizard, reluctantly accepts a teaching position in Defense Against the Dark Arts from Headmaster Blake at Hogwarts Castle in 1892. However, he unexpectedly travels through time and finds himself in London a century later. Upon receiving an owl from Hogwarts, he decides to return to the school to continue his magical studies, this time enrolling as an unusual fifth-year transfer student. Despite his unusual behavior and mysterious past, William earns the respect of those around him. Dumbledore recognizes him as a diligent and devoted student, though puzzled by his cryptic remarks about holding people as children. The Sorting Hat struggles to place him, while Tom Riddle fiercely objects to any disrespect toward William. Even Harry Potter, despite hearing rumors that William uses Unforgivable Curses as lighting spells and has constructed a tower of troll and goblin heads, chooses to believe in his fundamental goodness.
