There are poisons that blind you, and poisons that open your eyes. The pride of a Slytherin is in his resource and cunning, and in the serpent's discerning gaze. At Hogwarts, Harry Potter learns to value pride, loyalty, and poison over mercy. Slytherin!Harry, platonic H&Hr duo, shipping later. Featuring ambiguous heroes, equivocal villains, and original and canon characters alike.

The Serpent's Gaze by DictionaryWrites
[ - ]
Series summary: When he came to Hogwarts, Harry was sorted into Slytherin: he had no idea how much this would affect the connections he'd make, or the friendships he would foster. Follow Harry through his Hogwarts career, avoiding goblin plots, murderous fanclubs and even Lord Voldemort himself. No Horcruxes, no Riddle diary, no Lord Potter, no creature inheritance, etc. Canon divergent; first year's is similar to the canon, and after that, every year is quite different to the original.

By the time Harry arrives for the term of his fourth year at Hogwarts, he's battled doxies, puffskeins, and even the dangerous teenage moodswing.
