From within the intrigue and drama of Slytherin house, Harry must navigate the perils of his first year- friends, enemies, blood politics... and in the middle of it all, Lord Voldemort is hunting the Philosopher's Stone hidden in Hogwarts. Crossposted on FanFiction, AO3, and now here, with DeviantART soon to be added to the list! Gemcycle, Year One Trigger warnings: This story contains fairly extreme bigotry. Bigots are not nice. People will be hurt by the bigots. The bigots will not get their comeuppance for a while. But it will come. There are themes of child abuse. People will die on-camera. There will be non-graphic descriptions of violence. I can't predict what all I'm going to write as the series goes on, but overcoming bigotry and hatred is the central theme to this work. It will not be easy, and the story will reflect that. The Wizarding Society I've manipulated to create this story is not nice. There are arranged marriages, bigotry is endemic, and it will not be fun for our protagonists to fight. But they will get their victory in the end. This series will contain LGBT+ themes.
