We all know about the night Lily and James Potter died. This is the life after Hagrid handed our little Harry to Albus Dumbledore. This will start that night but skip to when he's 10, a couple weeks before his 11th birthday. I OWN NOTHING!!! ALL RIGHTS GO TO J.K. ROWLING!!!!! P.S. There will be Weasley Bashing as well as Dumbledore Bashing, you have been warned. Also, in most inheritance books, they get their inheritances at 16 but I'm going to do mine at 13 so that I can move the story along.

Nico is deaf. He uses sign language, and can read lips. He scraped up enough money to go to college, but it's not the best college. There's homophobic Octavian and his gang...and the absolutely terrible teachers. Also, Nico doesn't have a roommate to stick up for him. He never minded though, because not having anyone was better than having another probably homophobe to deal with. - Will moved from America with his deaf sister and mom. His new college just happens to be Nico's....
