We all know the story of Harry Potter- how he met the Weasleys at Kings Cross, how they showed him how to get onto the platform and how he became friends with Ron. But what if he never met the Weasleys? What if, instead of the Weasleys, he met Hermione at the station. What if they started their journey together? And what if the Weasleys had different intentions than just showing Harry where the platform is? Why don't you read and find out? .................................................................................. Got top in #harmione, as well as #harmony quite a few times so it's probably worth at least a quick scan. I also have to warn you, there is some serious Idiot!Ron bashing, as well as Dumbledore!bashing.

I ABANDONED THIS STORY YEARS AGO AND AM CURRENTLY WORKING ON RE-WRITING IT TO THEN FINISH. The new vs old chapters will be labeled. After the war Harry distances himself from everyone, feeling empty. He spends a year in solitude, only writing letters to communicate. When he's finally drawn from Grimuald Place by the Weasleys, Hermione appears at his front door with urgent and unsettling news. Harry realizes the hidden horrors of his years at Hogwarts and, together, with the help of Hermione, the two formulate a plan to redeem it all. Though, when it all goes sideways, Death shows himself to Harry, his master, and offers him a once in a lifetime opportunity. Will he take it? -- WARNINGS: 1. This is a slow burn, and I mean major slow burn (trust, it'll be worth it) 2. Tom is a manipulative little shit 3. Chapters are not at all consistent, I'm a double major in college guys, I only have so much extra time T^T
