[[!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. This would have some decent interaction with McGonagall about career placement options. * 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. There's another decent opportunity for career counseling comedy here. 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. For a Y15 example, see [Harry's Had Enough|http://m.fanfiction.net/s/7573003/] and [Damn Wizards|http://m.fanfiction.net/s/7782623/] by [sprinter1988|http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2936579/]. [Potter's Wheel|http://m.fanfiction.net/s/6500428/] by [esama|http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1137344/] is an amazing oneshot of this meta-plot in *Y17* of all years.
