What if Harry Potter never said "Not Slytherin"?
What if he simply... stayed silent - and let the Hat decide?
In this reimagined tale, destiny twists its path.
Harry doesn't rise through Gryffindor's light -
but descends into Slytherin's silence.
Here, the hero is not a symbol of glory,
but a boy tangled in shadows,
whispers, and choices he never truly made.
The Years of Shadow is not a story of good vs. evil,
but of the quiet war within.
Of identity. Of silence. Of the cost of survival in a world that expected him to shine.
Dive into an alternate reality...
where Hogwarts still breathes magic -
but everything is colder in the dungeons.
