Unbound: The Fourth Champion

Harry Potter was never meant to be in the Triwizard Tournament. But when his name is pulled from the Goblet of Fire, everything begins to unravel-not just the tournament, but the life he's been forced to live. Abandoned by friends, doubted by his mentors, and caged by hidden magical restrictions, Harry finally makes a decision:

He's done pretending.

No longer the obedient student, no longer the Boy Who Lived under everyone else's control, Harry begins to rewrite the rules. He studies in secret, masters forgotten magics, and allies with unexpected students-particularly from Slytherin. As he walks through fire, faces dragons, dives into freezing lakes, and navigates deadly mazes, Harry forges a new identity: one not defined by prophecy or fame, but by freedom.

With Fleur Delacour at his side-not a fantasy, but a fierce, intelligent partner-and Gabrielle as his loyal shadow, Harry's world expands beyond house colors, school walls, and old legacies.

This is not the Harry you remember.

This is the one who chose to live Unbound.

✅ Powerful, independent Harry
✅ Slytherin friendships, slow-burn romance
✅ Magical theory, creature lore, political rebellion
✅ Found family, emotional growth, no clichés
✅ Canon divergence with meaning and bite
