** Alliser Thorne is shot down by Lord Commander Jeor Mormont when he counsels for war with the Norfolk. The Night's Watch is less than a thousand men strong with bad equipment while the Norfolk is around twenty thousand ''at least'' with brand-new steel weapons and a leader actively using witchcraft to cull the enemy. No matter how much you squint, it would be a ''slaughter'' for the Watch.

* WhatTheHellHero: Stannis flat-out condemns his royal brother's desire to add the Norfolk to the Seven Kingdoms as foolish. No lord or landed knight would accept to leave their warm castles to go [[GrimUpNorth beyond the Wall]], fighting bloodthirsty barbarians only because their king is ''bored''.

->''After the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry Potter decided to travel the world.

'''Story summary'''

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11132113/1/The-Difference-One-Man-Can-Make The Difference One Man Can Make]]'' is a Franchise/HarryPotter-Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire {{Crossover}} fanfic by joen1801, that begins twelve years after the Battle of Hogwarts. Since Ginny started a relationship with Neville while Harry was hunting the Horcruxes, he decided to leave England and WalkTheEarth to learn more about magic and other cultures. When he returns to England, Harry helps the Ministry prevent a group of fanatic purebloods from taking over the Department of Mysteries, but during the struggle, an accident sends Harry to a mysterious, cold land in a continent called Westeros.

Joining the inhabitants of the land, the Free Folk, which are much more up his alley than the Seven Kingdoms, Harry decides not just to live with them, but also help them make use of their great potential to establish a new civilization. However, soon he learns that, once more, he is the linchpin on which many people's destinies depend on, and that a threat thought dead is making its comeback, which means that he might have to do much more if he wants himself and his new people to survive.
