Harry Potter escaped to the Equestria at nine, then got his Hogwarts letter. Ponies in both the wizarding and muggle worlds (see If Wishes Were Ponies)! Then the Changelings heard about the Ponies’ portal. Worker Infiltrator Cadet 370,456LE, Elly, and others, make their way in Harry Potter’s world a year after the Canterlot Wedding Debacle.
Great to see this series return! I feel sorry for these poor ‘lings if they ever learn the truth of Chrysalis.
So how much of this is going to be a retread of parts of the first two stories?
Nice to see this story saga to continue ♡
Damn that one dark ending of the invasion
Good to know there are other Hives, Lings going extinct would be a great loss for their world after all!
Thank for the update ♡
Damn dark chapter to consider how their entire race is near extinction
Their race is so full of potential and possible benefits to integrate into any society.
Thanks for returning and continuing the fantastic saga ♡❤️
Glad to see you revisit this fascinating world, looking forward to seeing more of the 'ling's side of things. They were quite a neat plotline in the main pair of stories.
Pleased to see this AU from the changeling point of view. But can someone remind me what happened to Chrysalis?

It's honestly kinda dark, regardless whether ponies or changelings won that fight. Chrysalis might have deluded her child that "good" ponies, as in the obedient and conforming ones, get to keep happy, but as changeling population increases and pony population decreases, more and more ponies would get podded and freedom is only reserved for those who haven't produced any foals yet, those that haven't undergo mandatory reproduction stage. Those that can't reproduce, have some disdain, or have physical/mental trait undesirable for their changeling overlord would get podded instantly.
To put it simply, pony victory like this one result in slow extinction of the changelings, and changeling victory means more and more of the ponies get livestock slavery treatment as time goes on.
Anyway, is "If Wishes Were Ponies, Book 3" not going to be continued ? I just need confirmation.
I am so here for this! Loved the 'ling part of If wishes were ponies books 1 & 2, so I'm excited to see where this goes.

Pretty sure she got treated to the magic railgun of love and wound up on the other side of the continent / ocean, along with a few 'lings who happened to be nearby.
We pretty much lose contact with her for the rest of the stories after The Attack On Canterlot.
Chrysalis is out the game, no point in returning to Equestria. She has to restart her hive and is now the enemy of all with her actions in this story.

12200780
Would be rather short sighted on both fronts, but they are that way apparently in this saga
Hey, it’s good to hear from you again
Hmm, I wonder if there are even other hives.
Anyways, it's great to see this story again!
Nice to see you around again, I am sure this will be a great read like all the other stories. Looking forward see more of this.

Tkepner has stated it is incredibly unlikely. They've cleared most of the plot points available to Harry and Co. From what's been released, this will be a changeling focused story (obviously). I think we can expect a few chapters of rehashed background information from various p.o.v. and hopefully follow Elly's new Queendom in England.
I would also like to know the fate of the main series. The integration politics between the Equestrian, 'Muggle', and Wizarding factions was very intriguing.

It's mentioned in this chapter that male drones like Earl, even a mature one, are not valuable since all the other hives have labeled any 'lings from Chrysalis' hive as defective.
Awesome to see this series continue. Instant fave.
12200839
I wouldn't call Chrysalis short-sighted. By Equestrian standards (If we account Celestia's plans, including her decision to let Discord confront Tirek in S4), she is a cunning strategist and a master manipulator. The only thing that caused her to fail is the deus ex machina love spell. S8 forwards just made her dumber than Rainbow Dash, in terms of social-smarts.
That's not to say Chrysalis is smarter than the average human in terms of managing her changeling empire, after all plenty of fanfictions have isekaied humans improving the changelings.
12201052
Ah well, one can only dream. I just hope someone else can continue this story, if Tkepner allows them.
Well this looks interesting as we see the start of a new Hive with Elly as the new Hive Queen and no competition from others. Shame IWWP isn't getting a Book 3 as there were IMO enough plot lines to work with both with the escaped Riddle (in the arguably least crazy soul part), the remaining Horicruxes, current Wizard/Muggle/Pony relations, and potential activities in Equestria.
12200661
It isn't the entire race it is one Hive, though the failure of the Invasion has made things a hell of a lot harder for the other Hives. Still it is possible that the other Hives could make a peaceful contact with Celestia and Luna as they haven't tried to do any attacks and can prove that they had been around for some time with no desires for war,
12200951
There are (it is mentioned that the other Hives consider Chrysalis' Hive to be defective and want nothing to do with the survivors.
Definitely a like and favorite from me, so far all Harry Potter stories here were a great source if entertainment ♡
Poor Elle, Chrysilis did a number on her. I can’t wait until we get to the point where she is dealing with the end of her second year.
Very hyped to see more

We still have some material left before we learn what comes after they manage to get to earth and build a new hive
I thought, in the original stories, that all wizards became unicorns and all squibs became pegasi (absent Discord’s involvement). No mention of earth ponies.

It's probable that she doesn't have a full understanding.
If the Hulk had been a Goblin, their hate wouldve crushed the planet beaneath him?
Even if it's basically what we already read, we all look forward to the chapter where everything becomes new and unpredictable
We should be soon getting to some new material. Still school and all the new material.
Even though this covers much of what I already know from the other story, I am still happy to have my poor memory refreshed.
BTW...
Something big was in the offing.
There is quite something ahead, yet i look forward for future chapters beyond the known stuff
Not bad, starting off with a centuary of payment for food and lodging even before any further resources?
Its a pity Changelings never got round to doing mythological beings such as the Goose that laid the Golden Egg due to suuch materials being so common in Equestria, and definitely n swamp dragons as no need for that level of complex internal chemistry being able to manufacture just about any fluid, which in the case of Equestrian dragons could include many liquid metals and minerals that average mortal would extremely short disagreements with?
Got to give Elle a big hug. She deserves it.
Future Bugwaifu must start small and shall become the biggest of them all.

👍
Since we talk about Equestrians magic... that might actually work with some work behind it
So is this a continuation? Book 3 or something else?
What is 370,456LE?
So far so good, and given knowledge is power, that hat just gained a fair bit more?
12221782
That was Elly's changeling "name".
And now we get her at Hogwarts. I wonder what side adventures she got up to we didn’t see?
Elly cover story working on Dumbledore says a lot about him, his position and their governments

Nothing of it good
Great re-reading of the subplot become main story
Nice introduction to Hogwarts. It will be interesting to see more of the events from Elly's POV.
The Hufflepuffs seem nice.

I think had been a refocus on the changeling side of things, this is from the first story.
12225970
I figured that I was more thinking like will it go further than just a retelling from her POV.
Great chapter!
Time to build a future

Unlike Chrysalis... this one will have good chances
I have occasionally in my life wondered into which house I might be sorted. My response to your description of the library, that near-instant pining, does imply Ravenclaw.
I like how her first day went. I wonder how love drunk she’s going to get once she finally goes?
I guess: we had to start somewhere, and this could be as good a spot as any other?
I suppose Elle not finding ponies cute makes sense. You don't want to fall in love with your prey, otherwise you might not eat it.
Only Pinkie would notice the Phased Shadow image of Discord doing his Mr Burns, Excellent pose in the back of the fireplace?
Being able to alter body form in small amounts means she will be able to change lengths of fingers and mass distribution to change rotation vectors so she can dodge and recover equivalent to haveing a far greater Luck stat?
Even to manipulating her skin hair to enhance grip and defense like AJ and Pinkies Mane control or extreme Paprikas Fluffmancer?
On one hand it is good to blend in, but she should try to be over the regular levels of good, she has to financially support herself after all.
Somewhere in another universe a pink pony princess feels very proud and doesn't know why.
