The Boy Who Gambled

After the tragic death of his parents, young Harry Potter is taken in not by the Dursleys, but by Remy LeBeau, better known as Gambit-a master thief with a heart of gold. Raised on the streets of New Orleans, Harry grows up learning to navigate both the magical and criminal underworlds, trained in sleight of hand, card tricks, and combat, as well as discovering his own magical abilities.

But when a mysterious man named Albus Dumbledore arrives, Harry learns that his destiny is tied to a world far beyond the life he's known. Torn between the lessons of cunning and survival from Gambit and the call of a magical destiny at Hogwarts, Harry must choose his path carefully. With the looming threat of Voldemort and a unique blend of magic and mischief at his disposal, Harry must face the challenges of both worlds, all while staying true to the family he's come to love.

In this thrilling fusion of the Harry Potter and X-Men universes, The Boy Who Gambled explores how Harry's life and the fate of the wizarding world changes when he's raised by a master of cards and tricks
