Summary
They called it the Maw. A ring of blood and ruin. A place for monsters. A home for children who had none.
Harry Potter never made it to Hogwarts.
Brought unconscious to the dark alleys of Knockturn, he should’ve died— cold, angry, and forgotten. Instead, he carved out a place for himself with bloodied hands and stolen wands. He built an empire from an abandoned factory, guarded by outcasts and orphans, where creatures fight for food and every day is a struggle. He’s not a boy anymore. Not a hero. Not a victim. He’s a thunderstorm.
Then, his name comes out of the Goblet of Fire— a name no one should know— he’s dragged back into the world that left him to starve. The world of robes and rules, where boys live in castles and forget the rest exist. He’s not welcome there. He doesn't want to be.
And yet, in the middle of all this, stands Lord Voldemort— beautiful, terrifyingly human, and wearing a smile like a knife. He offers Harry an alliance. Harry knows better. But monsters recognize each other, don’t they?
And this time, Harry Potter isn’t here to play by the rules.
He’s here to burn the house down.

Summary
As the summer stretches on, Harry feels a change within him. He hadn’t realized how hard he’d clung to his childhood innocence until it was ripped from him too soon. It died in that cemetery along with Cedric Diggory. He feels the gaping wound it left behind. It’s fleshy and tender and aching. Bitterness fills it.
What once was raw and vulnerable crystallizes into something much more solid and resolute. He imagines the weeping flesh around his heart becoming smooth, black marble.
OR
Harry is formally expelled from Hogwarts after the dementor incident at the end of summer. Upon his re-enrollment, he must suffer the sorting hat once more. Everyone he knows thinks it’s a ridiculous formality that will end with him being placed back in Gryffindor. Harry’s not sure he shares their confidence.Something has shifted inside him after the events of the graveyard; or maybe it’s been broken. Either way, he feels changed. This, along with other developments over the summer leave him wondering if he no longer fits into his old house. He’s got bigger things to worry about, though. Besides, what difference does it make, which house he’s in?
As it turns out, it makes all the difference.
