+[[!meta title="Unwilling"]]
+
+This is something of a meta-story; Harry decides to abandon the wizarding world,
+and stops cooperating with authority figures. I'm fond of the meta-plot,
+especially because the resulting plot would seem to depend *very* heavily on
+which year Harry makes this decision.
+
+The starting points I hope to use:
+
+* Y11: Harry is never interested in the wizarding world to begin with. Most
+  likely this depends on nice!Dursleys. Harry just wants to be normal.
+* Y12: Harry has just had a professor attempt to murder him. He is not inclined
+  to repeat the experience.
+* Y13: Upon seeing the electives offered at Hogwarts and going through career
+  counseling, Harry realizes that Hogwarts is unable to prepare him for the
+  future he wants.
+* Y14: Being unwillingly thrown into a life-and-death competition is the last
+  straw for Harry, and he decides that maybe he'd be better off without magic.
+* Y15: Voldemort is back, and the Ministry refuses to listen to reason. Harry
+  had grown to accept that he'd have an evil supervillain out to kill him, but
+  he's not going to put up with the government badmouthing him in the press and
+  torturing him in class.
+
+Y16 and onwards Harry is already somewhat too heavily committed to wizarding in
+general, and rebellion stories no longer seem appropriate to this meta-plot.
