Summary
Harriet "Harry" Lily Potter has never been the star of a Quidditch team, scoring points while riding a broom far above the ground. She knows no spells, has never helped to hatch a dragon, and has never worn a cloak of invisibility.
But oh, does she want to. The mysterious letter on the Dursleys' doorstep was the answer to a question she never knew to ask. This wondrous new world seems to be the key to everything she's ever wanted - knowledge, power, friends, and even family. A driven Harry is determined to put the past behind her; now that she's a witch, the Dursleys will never touch her again.
It isn't the Dursleys she needs to worry about.
She's not quite sure when it all goes to hell, but somehow she's fourteen years old, buckling under the stress, then waking up screaming from nightmares. She's fifteen years old, jaded and tired, then driven to recklessness by desperation. She's sixteen years old, drowning her guilt in a bottle, then soaked in her cousin's blood. She's not quite sure when it finally hits her, either, but by the time she's seventeen years old and walking to her own death, she's accepted her fate.
How did this happen to her?
