What if when Harry's parents died on that old Halloween's eve, he died with them? What if Dumbledore already knew the need for Harry to live? What if Dumbledore did something he shouldn't have, in order to save the magical world when the time was right? Harry James Potter lived in a house afraid, hidden due to the decaying skin and smell of death that surrounded him. Slowly, his mind broke and set to one of a child, he found the small bits of pain that came to him interesting, against his numb body and loved to see how far he could go. A broken child and his broken body soon to arrive at Hogwarts gates. I do not own Harry Potter or the characters.
