If called upon by a ritual -
most demonic beings follow the call.
And on the other side of the magic stands -
a human being, in a trance.
Their wish will be heard and fulfilled for a price -
in exchange for a soul, demons play nice.
When a desperate person calls out into the void - what happens when the void stares back?
Lily Potter is a strong woman, but in the face of almost certain death, even someone like her can come to the conclusion to fight fire with fire, and call upon a demon to fight the inhuman Dark Lord tearing down her home.
Once called, Nightmare takes on Harry as her child... this doesn't bode well for the sanity of everyone else involved, especially once she finds a very special letter addressed at herself years later.
Disclaimer:
The Nightmare in this story is a (far) future version of the Nightmare found in my other story.
The 'Sex' tag is for roughly two sentences implying it in a chapter near the middle (hence this story's rating).
The 'Death' tag is for, well, the death of Harry's parents.

Interesting.
What an unfortunate way to introduce gender dysphoria into the story.
11103446
What's gender dysphoria?
11105593
Being uncomfortable with one's own body/sex. Usually a sign that someone's gender doesn't match with said body that can lead to... some difficult feelings, let's put it like that. >.>

If the character is gender fuild it would not matter to them being male or female. They would be happy being themselves.
I can't wait to see what would happen.
I love this story. I also love that it is in the perspective of Nightmare Moon. I look forward to your next chapter.
Also if you decide to include a romantic sub-plot later might i request you pair Harry with Fluer instead of Ginny. I also would love to see a wonderful, deep, and strong friendship bloom between Harry and Fluer also!
Did Death just offer Hary the opportunity to revive an ancient wizerding family line?
As far as last words go that is hard to beat

Well R.I.P Hogwarts

Goodness knows we need more Harmione+CMC stories. 
Why not pair Harry with Hermione?
11241760
More like R.I.P. Wizarding World.
Are you gonna pair Harry up with Hermione, or just stick to canon?
11258077
I plan out one year at a time, not all seven.
At this point, I honestly can't tell yet.
11258080
Will you let me know when you do?
11258085
Were I to promise you that, I probably would in the end forget to do just that. So, I’ll just say that I’ll write this story to the best of my ability.
11258087
[As Pinkie Pie menacing] Okie-dokie-lokie.
Thank you for continuing this, it is very much appreciated.

Don't worry, I'll keep poking him. I don't have the time (or energy) to help dear Moterius with editing, but the direction where this is going looks very promising already.
While this may seem a bit rushed, I have read the entirety alley scene so often that I don't mind skipping the scenes that stay true to Canon.
Great chapter glad to see you back again
is she just gonna show up with an entire observatory?
what is heir to house Perevell even means? It's not like the bank account related to that house still exists or the house wasn't absorbed by other living descendants before Harry

Bragging rights.
ok i can say this story is really good and will be on my watch list.
I only see one problem and that is the up date time frame.
I think you mean "desecrate", which is to violate or destroy that which is sacred.
As opposed to "decimate", which is to destroy a tenth part of, (or much of in a violent way, in modern usage).

thanks for pointing it out

Gender fluid and gender dysphoria are not the same things. A person whose gender is fluid and is happy like that does not have gender dysphoria.
someone eventually is gonna have to ask this question so it might as well be me. soo are there any plans for an update in the immediate future?
11377079
The answer to that is more complicated and stupid than I'd like. I actually have written out a version of the story until the end of the first year, but I havent published past this point because that is where inconsistencies start to appear.
Once I had some time to go over those, I'll start updating the story again.
11377819
thanks for the info and good luck.
Good to see you are back, and with such an amazing chapter as well.
I almost forgot about this, I just love seeing these kinds of stories, hopefully it won't be half a year between chapters again.
And finally some uncertainties, meaning potential problems coming. Not that this needs any, I'm content with just seeing pony/wizard interactions
A very nice chapter, good to see this story progresse. I'm sure you have a reason for the time-travel stuff but I can't figure why
11473207
Half world building, half plot reasons
That final paragraph sounds like you've ended up with two of them.
Oh a new chapter and a really good one.
loving this story.
Would love to read more of your fic. I like everything so far, keep it like that.
is the chapter title a pun?
Update when?
"so why was almost all the energy of the spell returned?"
is this refering to the fee, for buying the book, not published in time?
Seriously, though; you really need to continue this story, publishing the rest!
I'm somewhat confused, so there's Harry aka Nebula and "Nightmare moon" but she refers to Nightmare moon as a seperate entity?
11568182
Only in speech. She is, after all, acting out a role.
Waiting for an update, really like this story so far, please update 🥺 🙏
Wait a sec, this NMM is from EqG?
Yeah. Don't count.
At least many people appreciate night
