Summary
For Harry Potter, life was not a cupboard under the stairs, but a home. Raised in a loving sanctuary by his magical Aunt Petunia and gruff Uncle Vernon, he arrives at Hogwarts with his twin Benjamin and cousin Dudley, knowing only the strength of family.
But the Sorting splinters their paths. Harry, whose loyalty finds a home in Hufflepuff; and his brother Benjamin and cousin in Gryffindor. Thrust into a world far beyond his own, his fate becomes entwined with heroes and monsters of legend. And, as the first threads of conflict are pulled, Harry must learn what it means to navigate a world where heroes have dark pasts and monsters may seek redemption, and that loyalty is the only true compass.
No meritless bashing. Every character is treated like a reasonable human would and should. Wrong boy who lived, though far from the usual.
The first year (mostly) adheres to the framework of canon, save for crucial deviations. Beyond that point, most familiar paths are abandoned as the story progresses.
