Summary
Oliver Stone once said: "The first casualty of war is innocence."
Harry Potter was the lone survivor of a plane crash when he was just five years old. Recovered by an unknown militant group, he grows up without innocence as it is the only way to survive. The wizarding world isn't ready for this Savior.
And, once he does return to the wizarding world, it starts to change. The war brought by the Dark Lord escalates and even the Ministry of Magic changes in response. War is encompassing, but where there is darkness there is still hope.
----
Inspired by the web comic "Teenage Mercenary" (also known as "Mercenary Enrollment")
Part one of this series was the one-shot inspiration for this full length piece. "Casualties of War" has diverged from the original one-shot.Series
