(Slytherin Harry Potter) There are many moments in our lives that add up to define who we become, and some things that we simply are with or without any choice in the matter. Getting to Platform 9 3/4 by himself and finding a toad roaming the train, one small moment among thousands, really should not matter all that much in the grand scheme of things... Except it does. -- Or, Harry never meets Ron on the the train to Hogwarts and goes to Slytherin instead. This changes everything that it can.

Harry Potter was never meant to survive what he became. When dragons tear the sky apart and ancient magic shatters every boundary holding the world together, Harry vanishes-leaving behind a war won, a love broken, and a promise unkept. For years, the wizarding world mourns him... or learns to move on. Daphne Greengrass does not. Forced into a marriage she never chose and trapped inside a household that treats her as a political trophy, Daphne learns what it means to endure. Love becomes a memory. Hope, a dangerous luxury. Until the night a forbidden necklace awakens-and the man she thought lost returns from the shadows, colder, stronger, and willing to burn the world to keep her safe. Harry has crossed lines no one should cross. He wears power like a curse, hunts monsters like prey, and carries a devotion that borders on ruin. To protect Daphne, he will become the thing everyone fears. But love has a cost. As dark factions rise, bloodlines fall, and old ghosts resurface, Daphne must decide whether she can stand beside the man Harry has become-or if loving him means losing herself all over again. Some loves heal. Some loves destroy. And some are worth setting the world on fire for.
