The Serpent's Masquerade (On Hold Indefinitely)
13 parts Ongoing At the age of five, Harry Potter flees the Dursleys' home, unknowingly guided by survival instincts far beyond his years. As a Metamorphmagus, he learns to blend into the shadows, slipping through the cracks of society and stealing to survive. A fateful encounter in Diagon Alley at six years old unveils the truth-he is a wizard, one destined for far more than mere survival.
Determined to control his fate, Harry hones his magic in secret, embracing the cunning and resourcefulness that life has forced upon him. But the manipulations of Albus Dumbledore loom ever closer, seeking to mold him into a pawn for the so-called Greater Good. When Harry arrives at Hogwarts, he defies expectations and is sorted into Slytherin, setting himself on a path of power, deception, and defiance against those who would control him.
With hidden allies, dangerous enemies, and a talent for slipping through the cracks of fate itself, Harry Potter will forge his own legend-one not of a boy who lived, but of a serpent who thrived.
