Why does nothing make sense?

Harry is plagued by a sense of wrongness. Things have been too coincidental for him to be content with.

It is time to delve deeper than he had ever let himself. Even if it meant going against the entire Wizarding Britain. Against everything he had been told and saw for himself, to find a narrative he liked.

.
This is a continuation of "I Hate You", I recommend reading that one first or the beginning itself will be strange for you.

Attention!!

📌 Canon divergence post-OotP.
📌 Deconstruction of legacy, identity, and magical inheritance.
📌 Reimagined family dynamics, including a non-romantic James/Lily marriage.
📌 Queer themes and queer historical erasure.
📌 Grief, betrayal, reclamation.
📌 NOT a romance; this is a character study of Harry Potter and his emotional journey.

If you're looking for canon ships or unaltered portrayals of the Marauders, this may not be the story for you. But if you're drawn to messy truths, hidden legacies, and Harry taking back the narrative - welcome.

The First Signs of a Storm - Prisoner of Azkaban - Book 1 by HRDerriman
44 parts Complete Mature
Set in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Book 1 in the Custos Terrae Series The destruction of war left little hope as darkness threatened to snatch the last beam of light that remained. It was a small flame, but it flickered brightly and innocently. For it was but a child. An innocent - having only lived for less than 5 Winter seasons. But, as usual, years pass both quickly and slowly simultaneously and the once devastating war, has been pushed out of almost all thought. But the child remains; now older, grown. And the flame? Well, it is burning bright - far greater than before. Because time does not stop for anyone and the childs' light is blinding. But it was only a matter of time until the darkness came knocking again.

What if Harry knew he could count on the adults in his life for love, advice & support? What if he had a support network? There is a work-in-progress sequel to this (Tones of Gray). Important: -Rated M for child abuse, adult themes & language, violence, etc. -Evil APWBD, some Weasley bashing. Slow Harmony. -No fanfiction should ever be assumed to be canon. FF is, by its very nature, not canon. If you want canon, re-read the saga. -If you are easily offended and/or have very close-minded opinions on religion, please skip this story. -Don't like, don't read. It really is as simple as clicking away. Disrespectful, abusive, or mean users will be reported and blocked. -I make zero revenue off of this. It is simply a creative outlet. I write as catharsis for the entertainment of strangers. -Many questions you have will likely be answered as you read. I will not answer a question if the response will be a spoiler. For legal purposes: All I own are my plot bunnies and original characters. It's J.K. Rowling's world. I am just having fun with her creation.
