Summary
If there was one thing the Dursleys taught Harry, it was that there is no such thing as a free lunch. When Hagrid fails to explain the basics of his own world, Harry turns to the first person who treats him with a modicum of respect: Daphne Greengrass. Choosing Slytherin isn't an act of rebellion—it’s the only logical choice for a boy who wants to survive a school full of monsters and ancient rivalries. Harry Potter isn't "dark," but he is tired of being played like a pawn. It’s time to change the board.

Summary
Harry’s skin prickled. He swallowed. “They’re… they’re my family.” The word tasted sour even as he said it.
“Family?” The laugh was harsh and mirthless, as it cut through Harry like a knife. “Fools who starve you, beat you and chain you in this box—they are not family. They are cattle. If I were flesh and stood in this house, they would not live to take another breath. I would see their throats cut before they laid a hand on you.”
Harry froze as his breath caught in his chest. He knew he ought to be terrified. The voice was cruel and frightening, promising death as if it were nothing. Yet something twisted inside him. Strange and small. The Dursleys never protected him. Never cared if he was hurt. But here was a voice, wicked and cold, saying it would stop them. Saying he didn’t deserve this.
He whispered into the dark, “You… you’d do that? For me?”

Summary
“Get back here!”
Harry had never run faster in his life. He wasn’t thinking; his mind was stuck in a loop. Get out, get out, get out. He sprinted down the street. He needed help — he needed help now. He barely made the curve.
Everyone he knew would send him back here if Dumbledore asked them to. The thought was there before he could stop it.
Not the Order.
His feet hurt from how hard they were hitting the ground. His thoughts lagged behind, chasing him too. He didn’t slow down to let them catch up.
——-
One evening, Vernon goes too far.
Harry runs.
He knows he can’t ask the people he knows for help — not about this.
So he runs to the one person he knows would never, under any circumstances, send him back to Dumbledore.

Summary
Was it Harry Potter or Lord Voldemort who woke up in St. Mungo's after the battle at the Ministry of Magic? The boy certainly didn't know. His mind was in knots, and with Dumbledore, Ron, and Hermione bugging him about his ever-changing behavior, he began to wonder whether being the Boy Who Lived was really worth it.

Summary
“Do you know what I think, Harry?” He barely paused to allow an answer. “Albus has done well instilling you with his ideals, molding you to be the perfect dutiful soldier, but you’ve never developed your own code of ethics. You’ve never had to. But what happens to an animal that’s been fed all its life, when the automated machine finally breaks?"
He found the man approaching with an unnervingly gradual momentum. But no- that couldn’t be exactly right, because his feet had stayed firmly planted at the edge of the rug the whole time, which meant-
Harry was the one stepping closer.
“Do you know?” he cocked his head, next words more snarl than speech. “It starves. So tell me: are you sure you weren’t just looking for an excuse to disguise your own interest in the dark arts?”After the Sectumsempra incident, Slughorn has a suggestion. As a result, the whole castle is thrown into disarray, and everything Harry once thought he knew is turned on its head. It appears that no one is exactly what they seem, not even himself- and now, he’s somehow considered both a Gryffindor and a Slytherin. To make matters worse, he just cannot seem to get a decent night’s sleep.
