The Serpent's Heir | Dark Harry AU
20 parts Complete MatureWhat if Harry Potter never became the Boy Who Lived, the hero destined to save the world? What if the years of cruelty under the Dursleys didn't harden his heart into resilience, but twisted it into something darker? Abused and unwanted, Harry learns early how to lie, to manipulate, to act the part the world demands, all while nurturing a quiet, venomous hatred for the Muggles who raised him.
When he enters the wizarding world, he discovers not salvation but a mirror of himself in Lord Voldemort. Bonded by similar childhoods and a shared contempt for Muggles, Harry joins him, not as a follower, but as an equal. Behind the mask of the Golden Boy, he becomes a nameless assassin whispered of in fear, wielding his cunning and power to reshape the world. Together, he and Voldemort hatch a chilling vision: to tear Muggleborn children from their families, raising them to know only magic and strength.
In this world, the Dark Lord isn't just one man, he has an heir. And the Wizarding World may never recover.
