Harry Potter never made it to Hogwarts.

Brought unconscious to the dark alleys of Knockturn, he should've died- cold, angry, and forgotten. Instead, he carved out a place for himself with bloodied hands and stolen wands. He built an empire from an abandoned factory, guarded by outcasts and orphans, where creatures fight for food and every day is a struggle. He's not a boy anymore. Not a hero. Not a victim. He's a thunderstorm.

Then, his name comes out of the Goblet of Fire- a name no one should know- he's dragged back into the world that left him to starve. The world of robes and rules, where boys live in castles and forget the rest exist. He's not welcome there. He doesn't want to be.

And yet, in the middle of all this, stands Lord Voldemort- beautiful, terrifyingly human, and wearing a smile like a knife. He offers Harry an alliance. Harry knows better. But monsters recognize each other, don't they?

And this time, Harry Potter isn't here to play by the rules.

He's here to burn the house down.
