Summary: Before Hogwarts, before the fame, Harry was just a boy in a cupboard—searching for strength in silence, knowledge in shadows, and safety where no one looked. When the Sorting Hat says “Slytherin,” Harry begins rewriting his fate.

Story Notes:
This is the first story I've ever written, so it might not be perfect—but I hope you'll enjoy it.
Since English is not my first language, I’ll be using ChatGPT to help with grammar and structure.
The story will begin by exploring Harry’s character development and focus heavily on themes of neglect and hopelessness. Harry might come across as slightly more mature and clever than usual, but please remember he had to learn to rely on himself at a very young age.
This story will also explain why he wasn’t sorted into Ravenclaw.
I’ll try to update regularly, but I’m still nervous and uncertain about the direction the story will take—or how Harry’s relationships with some characters will unfold—so please don’t hesitate to leave a comment if you have thoughts or ideas.
