After Dementors attack Harry and Dudley, Vernon decides he's had enough of magic and enough of Harry. Nearly killed by his uncle, Harry unconsciously uses magic to call for help and is subsequently expelled from Hogwarts. Ending up in the care of Severus Snape, Harry finds himself brought on the professor's dangerous summer travels where they learn about Voldemort's past, Harry discovers he has an incredible rare magic, and they get to really know each other, so much so that Harry returns to Hogwarts as Snape's apprentice. With such a change in their relationship, the year at Hogwarts becomes an exercise in trust.

Ten streets burned before the wizarding world ever noticed the Boy Who Lived was missing. At seven years old, Harry Potter survived a gas explosion that tore through Little Whinging, leveling houses and leaving the suburb a smoking ruin. Pulled from the wreckage and covered in burns, he was not found by rescuers, but by a Romanian werewolf. The creature regarded Harry not as prey, but with a strange, keen interest—something kinship-like in its hunger. While the magical world celebrated the legend, Harry vanished from history, left to crawl through ash and shadow, alone and unprotected. Time passed in the wilderness, shaping him into someone neither child nor hero. By the time he resurfaced, he was no longer the boy they had once promised to protect.

Years passed before the Ministry found him — half-starved, feral, and living among Fenrir Greyback’s pack deep in the wilderness. The child they recovered was no hero, only a werewolf bound by scars and fear. To protect their image and the fragile myth of “The Boy Who Lived,” officials buried the truth beneath paperwork and propaganda. Harry was cleaned up, handed a wand, and sent to Hogwarts as though nothing had ever happened. But the frightened, silver-eyed boy who stepped off the train was a shadow of the savior they expected. He bore burns that refused to fade and eyes that never seemed fully human. In a world that worships symbols, Harry became a living contradiction: their symbol of hope now marked by monstrosity.
He did not stay long. Within months, Harry disappeared from Hogwarts grounds without a trace, slipping into the wilderness once more. Rumors spread — that the curse had consumed him, that the Boy Who Lived was truly dead at last. Two years later, he returned, changed beyond recognition. No longer merely a wolf, he bore the chill mark of another curse — a vampire’s bite, turning him into a creature neither alive nor dead, neither beast nor man. Now a vaewolf, Harry walks the line between predator and victim, caught in a war between instincts and humanity. But he is not alone in the shadows: Sirius Black, now a Death Eater, has learned of Harry’s survival. The godfather who once loved him has become a predator, hunting him to exploit his monstrous power and serve Voldemort’s rising schemes. Every step back into civilization is a risk, every return to Hogwarts a dangerous gamble against a hunter who knows him too well — and will not hesitate to kill.

Under Severus Snape’s reluctant guardianship, Harry must relearn what it means to live among people — to be student, not monster. Forced to repeat his first year, he sits among children two years younger, haunted by memories they could never understand. Every hallway whispers with his name, every candle flame flickers against his scars. Hogwarts itself feels different now, a place of watching eyes and half-truths. Yet as old enemies stir and ancient bloodlines begin to wake, the darkness within Harry calls for recognition. Somewhere between moon and ash, hunger and heart, he must decide what he truly is: human, beast, or the bridge between both.

The Boy Who Lived didn’t die — he just stopped being human.

Third year brings new troubles to Hogwarts, but none more than Harry Potter with the breakout the Dark Lord's right hand man, Sirius Black. Determined to finish what his master failed, Harry is sent back to the Dursleys where he can be safe within the blood wards and not allowed to visit the Weasleys at all nor contact his friends. To make sure of this, Hedwig is forbidden from being taken back to the Dursleys, yet after Sirius is sighted near Privet Drive, Professor Snape is forced to take control of Harry as an apprentice. However, when Snape arrives at Privet Drive, he discovers that Potter is missing. Is it Black that kidnapped him? Is it someone or something else more sinister? Harry is found in an unlikely place and taken away, forbidden from contact with his friends as he is thrust into the role of apprentice. Yet amidst these troubles, Harry discovers something about himself and a hidden crime that only a murderer and his best friends know, something that may change Harry's future for the better...or the worse.

“Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.” - Oscar Wilde

What if Harry forgives Snape for all the hurt? How would Snape react to this? Snape has, after all, spent so much of his time wallowing in bitterness. Being forgiven is not something he expected. But what if Harry enjoys the reactions forgiving his enemies brings? What if he starts a trend?
