Upon killing his Uncle Vernon, 10-year-old Harry's journey into darkness is complete, but his journey into the wizarding world is just beginning. Despite Dumbledore's meddling, Harry receives his invitation to Hogwarts, and sets out to gain one simple thing: power. Of course, he has no idea of the dangers involved...or the secrets... Gray/Smart!Harry.
Three teenagers wake up in different parts of the world, and find themselves inexplicably drawn to a castle in Scotland. The brilliant Hermione Granger, Salem Institute prodigy. The battle hardened Ron Weasley, raised by his brothers at Durmstrang. And Harry Potter, brought up in Seattle by Dumbledore, scarred from a night that no one remembers. The road ahead is not easy...
Grindelwald beat Dumbledore and conquered Wizarding Britain. He crafted the Society, where few Muggleborns survive, and people live in a state of perpetual fear. Hogwarts is Grindelwald's training ground; 16-year-old Harry is his protege. But when the school receives a certain new student, and when a resistance group called the DA rises...that's when everything begins to change.
