    I'm looking for an old fic. The premises was the following: a muggle woman was victim of a death eater attack in a muggle bar, her fiancé died. For some reason she wasn't obliviated and managed to uncovered more about the wizarding world.

    Being a teacher, she thought Hogwarts methods were shit and decided to open another school. It's called the Wickham Academy, or something like that I'm not so sure.

    Basically it combined muggles+magic studies, it also had 1 or 2 extra years of studying for specialization. Various sports, etc.

    I was wondering if anyone have either a link or an archive of the fic. I was quite sure I had the thing on my alert/fav list on ffnet, but I can't find it anymore.

    Thank you!

    Why can't people just use google for stuff like this?

    The reason the OP couldn't find the story in his ff.net favs is simple: The author deleted it and started a rewrite under another title. It's not very long -about 18.000 words- but it's really easy to find.

    http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6477516/1/Footsteps-on-a-Different-Path

    And there is a much longer ("original") version on some server with .txt downloads of old fics- you'll have to reformat for comfortable reading:

    Basilisk, your google- fu is weak.

    Amazing how an 'y' can change everything! I didn't thought to change the way I was writing Wyckham. Kept getting Pride and Prejudice fanfic though >.>

    On another note, I still had it in my favourite! Not knowing the title I passed right over it.

    The doc .txt is that the fanfic before going into the new version? Formatting seems alright when in full screen mode.

    Thank you all the same!
