Title: A Path of Stones and Thorns
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Pairing: Eventual Harry/Draco/Theo, references to canon pairings
Content Notes: AU (Slytherin Harry), Neville is the Boy-Who-Lived, Potters live, angst, drama, blood prejudice, violence, Dark Harry, bullying, references to child abuse
Rating: R
Summary: AU. Harry Grayson comes to Hogwarts, knowing himself the bastard son of a Muggle woman, his Aunt Petunia’s sister, and an unknown father. When he’s Sorted into Slytherin, the only Muggleborn there, he does what he has to to survive. If that means allying with Slytherins who are willing to overlook his blood for how useful he can be to them, that’s what Harry will do. Honestly, he considers himself lucky to find as much joy as he does along the way.
Author’s Notes: This is a new fic based on a request for the backstory of my one-shot “The Peculiarities of Professor Potter.” You should read that first; it details how Lily and James Potter accidentally magically disowned Harry and left him to grow up in the Muggle world, considering himself a Muggleborn, while the same magic prevented them from telling the truth. This should be fifteen chapters long. The title is a variation of a quote by Kahlil Gabran: “March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life’s path.”
