Silly question....

Say if Nathan Ciro is transported into Harry's body after Voldemort Avadas him in DH..... and of course Harry ends up 8n his body...

How would that turn out ?

How would Nathan navigate his new identity and relationships? Who would he end up with ?

I don't think Nathan would cope very well being in Harry's shoes at all. This is a boy who was at the end of his rope both mentally and emotionally - and his last memories are of a horrific violation.

Suddenly waking up in someone else's body, embroiled in a horrible war in a time he has no concept of, surrounded by people he doesn't know but who all seem to want a piece of him?

Yeah...no. I don't see him dealing with it well at all.

I suppose the only way it could possibly work out for him would be if ybtm was a more traditional time travel, and Harry actually went back, successfully avoided detection, and lived his life as Nathan up until the Battle of Hogwarts. He'd only just be brushing his 70s, which is pretty young for a wizard still.

I could see an older 'Nathan Ciro' absolutely bursting onto the scene just as Harry's body hits the forest floor and whisking him away.

Everyone is confused - Voldemort is confused. It's chaos and no one knows who that old dude was nor what he wanted with Potter's body but you can bet that Voldemort wasn't going to let that stand. He saw the curse hit Harry but the killing curse didn't stick the last time so he has to be sure.

Queue the Death Eaters trying to hunt down this random old dude body-snatcher, and Voldemort eventually figuring out that this was an old school mate of his who - last he heard - had tried to take his own life when they were in their fourth or fifth year.

'Nathan Ciro' never returned to Hogwarts after he woke from his accident, so Tom Riddle never paid him much thought.

But now he's playing catch-up, and the more he delves into what 'Nathan Ciro' has been up to in the past six decades, the more bewildered he grows because how the hell did he ever miss how insanely competent this guy was?

Meanwhile Nathan wakes up in a body that's not his own, and the first thing he sees is an older version of himself staring back at him.
