Betrayal. Rejection. Manipulation. Harry's life has been nothing but painful his entire life. He thought joining the magical world would changed that but slowly realizes that things aren't what they seem. In one instant, everything is ripped from him. Then there was one man standing in his corner when he had nothing left. Can this mean the difference in the battle for his life?

Sometimes he needed to get away, to leave the crowds of simple minded fools. Sometimes the only way to deal with the painful memories was to go back to the beginning. Sometimes a chance encounter can change the course of one's life. Complete for now.

"Her skeleton will lie in the chamber forever." Ginny has been taken to the Chamber of Secrets and Harry may know where that is. How would things have turned out if he had gone to a Different Professor?

If Vernon and Petunia were so concerned about their image why did they treat Harry the way they did? A child with a bad reputation living in their house forced them to tell tales, when it would have been much easier if they treated him like part of the family.

Harry Potter gets a lot of mail but he does not get much mail with stamps in the right corner. Muggle mail is a rare sight indeed.

The answer…Dudley Dursley.

Emotion and choice. Hope and despair. What is right and what is easy. Walking to his end, what does he feel?

How did Fred and George discover the passphrase to the Marauder's Map?

The house you are sorted into does not define you. Sometimes we allow ourselves to follow the patches of others to avoid conflict, but sometimes we just have to show that we are in fact different people with differing opinions.
