Life Is A Messed Up Game ( SEQUEL ) ✔️ by NazAhmad8

Do we really know who the actual Harry Potter is. What if Dumbledore took him away from his parents? What if Dumbledore was the bad guy What if James Potter is alive? What if Harry's friend is only with him for his money and fame? What if these 'what ifs' were real? This story takes place in fourth year. GAY SHIPS. DON'T LIKE, DON'T READ. THIS IS ALSO A SEQUEL TO MY FIRST STORY YOU CAN CHECK IT OUT IF YOU WANT.

Harry, dissatisfied with Dumbledore's decisions, chooses to leave and live independently to train and confront Death Eaters and Voldemort. Along the way, he realizes the importance of friends for companionship and guidance. Choosing to be self-reliant accelerates his maturity, impacting his character development. In this H/G tale, Harry's decision shapes his growth and relationships, underscoring the significance of interdependence in personal development.

"Good luck, Rosalie Dorea Potter." The Dursleys played a huge role in shaping Harry's character. But what if Harry never existed? Instead, on the 31st of July, James and Lily Potter welcomed a beautiful baby girl. So when Mrs Dursley found a baby left on her doorstep one cold November morning, all she could think about was that this little girl could fulfil the one thing she had always dreamt of having-a daughter. Flash forward to 16 years later, Rose Dursley is looking forward to collage. She has a few goals, but being kidnapped by a handsome Dark Lord and unwillingly introduced to a world of magic is definitely not one of them.

Power, Magic, Runes, Freedom, & a Family (rewrite) by Son_of_Wayne

The Harry he was expecting was a weak Harry Potter who does not know his heritage, has no knowledge of magic, is timid, naive, and easy to mold into the perfect weapon. What he got instead was a strong, well-knowledgeable, independent, confident, cunning, and almost always prepared Hamilton Potter who grew up on the streets and has a monkey. When Harry was 9 years old the Dursleys abandoned Harry in America where he spent 2 years learning to survive the streets using his brains, skills, and magic.
