Summary: James Potter was not the great Gryffindor everyone claimed he was. Terrible secrets and evil deeds plagued his mind, his soul. In order to rid himself of these, he erased his memories, keeping them only in a small leather Journal where he revealed the entire terrible truth. This was locked deep inside a Gringotts vault with the hope of locking them away forever. His secrets are ready to seep out of the old, faded pages, changing people’s lives forever. All lies must end... "I was lied to about James Potter; a liar, a cheater, a thief. I was lied to about Lily Potter; her family, her past. Worst of all I was lied to about Harry Potter, for no such boy existed."-Horris This story is part of the series, Forlorn Saga. The next story in the series is The Ammodytus.

Story Notes:
"I was lied to about James Potter; a liar, a cheater, a theif.
I was lied to about Lily Potter; her family, her past.
Worst of all, I was lied to about Harry Potter, for no such boy existed.
And yet, here I am, forced to endure what dreams may come
and fight with friend and foe alike.
I know not which is which, they know not which am I.
But here they stand, against my very wish, and push me toward my goal.
Not with fists or words or thoughts,
but by their very hopes and dreams, they call for me to live."
~ Horris
