Finding Family in the Shadows

What if everything Harry had ever been told about his life was a lie? What if he wasn't a Potter? What if he wasn't an only child? What if the Dark Lord wasn't dark and didn't want him dead? What if his trusted mentor was actually his worst nightmare? What if he wasn't even human?OrHarry learns the truth about who he is and where he comes from. He learns who he can trust and who he should stay away from. He learns that the Dursleys aren't even his family and he had a lot more family out there in the world than he could ever imagine. People who love him and want him happy.No longer on Hiatus but will be updating slowly.

For those who have already read this chapter I did a minor rewrite during the section from Dumbledore's point of view. It didn't work with how I want the story to go, so I changed it a bit.The Triwizard Tournament took place in Harry's fifth year instead of his fourth. Umbridge happens during his sixth year. This is written because of an idea that popped into my head and would not leave me alone. I hope you all enjoy it. For those of you who read my other stories. I have written the first chapter of the second part of Surprises, Soul Screams, and Secrets. I will be posting that tonight as well. I will be working to keep up with all three stories so the updates may be a little further apart than when I originally started posting. Happy reading.Warning: Explicit Language, Non-consensual Kissing, Loss of Control, Mentions of Character Death.I do not own Harry Potter or anything from the original books. I do not own the original ideas of the Dragel world. I have borrowed ideas and characters that belong to J.K.Rowling, Scion, and Cheyla. They are my inspiration and deserve all of the love. The spell I use for the ritual was also borrowed from The Book of Shadows from the original Charmed Tv show.
