Title: Truth Is Wilder
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing this story for fun and not profit.
Pairing: Mostly gen, background mention of James/Lily
Content Notes: AU (Harry is not the Boy-Who-Lived), mentions of violence, Harry gets away from the Dursleys, present tense, humor, trauma, implied child abuse, angst, minor character death
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: This part 4500
Summary: Harry has always known he was a Squib child left with his aunt and uncle, and that his parents are still alive, and that he won’t receive a Hogwarts letter. What only he seems to know was that he has magic; it’s just wild and does what it wants and refuses to show up for most people who have tried to investigate it. Harry leaves the Dursleys’ house at eleven to go find a way to tame his magic, while his twin, David Potter, the Boy-Who-Lived, starts his first year at Hogwarts.
Author’s Notes: This is one of my “From Samhain to the Solstice” fics being posted between Halloween and the winter solstice. It should have several chapters. Please note that it alternates between humor and seriousness, and Harry has an odd perspective, so the tone may be odd as well. This came from thinking about what ‘wild magic” means and deciding to do a different take on it.
