The birth of the true Dark Lord draws nigh...born to those who shall thrice defy the Fallen Lord, born as the seventh month dies... He shall set to rights the unbalance and claim the immortal throne...his army shall be legion, and Death shall be his Servant... The lily and the stag watch over him and the Wolf and Dogstar nurture him...The cat shall guide and the Serpent train him...Marked by the Lady's Own Hand...The birth of the true Dark Lord approaches...born to those who will thrice defy the Fallen Lord... When Harry learns of his true purpose, his life is thrown into chaos. He finds himself trusting people he never thought he would while others are not much of a surprise. How will Harry and his allies react to the threats that rise up against them?

Harry was made deaf by his abusive aunt and uncle at the age of five and has over all just had a tough life. He gets refuge in the comfort of Slytherin house, his new best friend Draco Malfoy, his best friends parents, and a certain Severus Snape, who actually, might just become the family and safe haven he's always wanted.

What will happen when Harry Potter is re-sorted into a different house. Will this cause emotions to run high or will it put him in more danger?

Harry Potter is broken and ready to give up. Severus finds himself in the unusual position of wanting to help. Draco, Luna and a secret organisation called The Shade all have their parts to play too, because the balance of magic is faltering, and that means far worse things than just war. AU Snarry / SSHP

During third year, Harry makes a rash decision and quits Divination, following in Hermione's footsteps. It turns out to be the best thing that happens to him, as he us quite gifted in the subject.

Harry always knew something was not all well in his life. No matter how hard he tried to pretend everything was fine, an uneasiness was always present in his gut. Of course, it was normal to grow feathers during the night, right? At least, he assumed so. But as time goes on he realises that there is something terribly, terribly wrong not with him, but his magical family. He cannot ignore the icy glares sent his way when Dumbledore thinks he isn't looking, or the disgusted expression Ron adopts when Harry's back is turned. But it isn't until one night a few days before his sixteenth birthday that this fragile falsehood collapses, and harry must face the reality that all is not well at all. WARNING- abuse, gay shit

Harry Potter was severely abused. He is a little and afraid of what will happen when others find out. Snape is the first to care for him as Harry, not as the Boy Who Lived.
