    Summary

    In a world where magic is not a source of hope, but of despair, Harry Potter is no hero. Traumatized by years of abuse at the hands of the Dursleys, Harry's existence is defined by neglect, pain, and a profound sense of alienation. As he grows older, his heart becomes hardened, his trust shattered, and his sense of self lost in the shadows of his own mind.

    At nearly eleven, Harry’s life takes a cruel turn when he discovers that he’s a wizard—an unasked-for burden that ties him to a world as dark and twisted as his own. The magic that flows within him is no gift, but a curse, one that only serves to further isolate him from the rest of humanity.

    Skeptical and cynical, Harry prefers the quiet darkness of his own mind to the hollow promises of those who claim to care. His only friends are the ones who can see past the mask he wears—Luna Lovegood, who shares his disillusionment, and a few others who see the broken boy behind the so-called "Chosen One." But with magic comes power, and with power comes danger. Harry is drawn into a world of dark wizards, betrayal, and moral ambiguity, where even his closest allies may not be what they seem.

    Summary

    Draco Malfoy has done a lot of wrong in his past. With the gift of hindsight, he's able to see that now. He was a prat, and a git, and every other name you could possibly use. All he needs is a chance to fix things. But after everything that happened in the Second Wizarding War, no one in this world is going to be willing to give him that chance.

    Well. Almost no one. He just needs a couple people to hear him out. Maybe, with the right magic, he can go back and make things right. Then maybe he could earn forgiveness in himself.
