While a superbly written story that skilfully tugs on the reader's heartstrings, it does require a great deal of suspension of disbelief. The fallacy in your story lies in the fact that you pit the childish wizarding world of Rowling against the real world. The magical powers if used imaginatively and competently against muggles would eventually lead to the triumph of the wizards. The power of the wizards lies not in brute force but in subtle tactics. Imagine muggles trying to defend against Legilimency, invisibility cloaks, polyjuice potion, imperius curses, veritaserum, animagus, metamorphagus etc. A well placed imperius curse or two will easily solve most of the wizarding worlds problems. And if the muggle world has nukes and assasin sattelites, who's to say that wizard don't have any doomsday weapons or biological plagues that they can unleash against muggles. What about unplottability- if you can't pinpoint on a map then you can't hit it with beyond visible range weapons. What about underground cities like those of the goblins. I really do think that the scenario that you have outlined is unrealistic - a world war between realistic muggles and wizards can end in only two ways- wizarding victory or mutually assured annihilation as the surface of the earth is made unlivable.

Hmmm, better response (if assassin-sats are on auto) would be to jump to close as possible to National Command Centers, and get them to target themselves. Take them down with you.

Sadly, I can easily see that happening. Combine Wizards' arrogance and Muggle's fear and hatred of everything 'different', and you'll get a genocide of Wizards.

Oh. My. God.
That was... Scary.
And terribly moving.

Because, of course, I'd never realised that could happen. I've never thought about the other side of Rowling's world.

Very well written story, for I find it very unbelievable. In America you can worship the Devil if you want, so for American to hunt for people that never did anything to them is hard to see. Now England has reason to have Issues with the Magical world, but it sad that England became another version of the Nazi's. England started hunted down a group of people for they did not like their way's and Idea's, In this case that Bully's win.

Wow, that was bleak. I liked it though. It was nice to see a story with a Harry who reached old age. Admittedly he had a bloody awful life but most people seem to let him get to thirty and he dies after a horribly long war, finally managing to defeat Voldemort.

Its also good to see Muggles kicking ass!

Thanks for writing.

I'm crying. Well, more bawling then crying. This story is amazing! I want to know the war story though. It would be awesome ifyou wrote what happened before this. :) great work!

Wow. This was cheerful. :)

This was a very interesting story idea, carried out expertly. I've read a number of "muggles do in the magical world" stories, but this is certainly among the best I've encountered.

Well, this was an amazing idea to write about. A really dramatic ending too.

oh man the world is screwed. Kinda reminds me of the prologue to so many redo stories that are out there

it's good...no better than that. made me cry.

Well that was good but I know I've seen this before on someone else's site.

Anyway, the technologically advanced nations are hell-bent on preserving snail darters and plague slime and such. They would not kill all magical creatures and wizards. They would put them in zoos and "wild" habitats!

That was amazing, and it sounds like what would happen if muggles found out about the wizarding world.
