Starting Differently

What if Harry Potter had a much different start to life?Harry Potter, Boy-Who-Lived, was left at his Aunt Petunia's doorstep when he was little over a year old. He remembers very little of that first year despite an eidetic memory, trauma he supposes, but he has flashes of people who he assumes were the most important ones in his life. His aunt raised him on stories of his mother as a child and growing up, the stories his mother brought home about his father, and the knowledge his parents were sacrificed for a cause they never truly believed in.Harry has many ideas about what he can do with the future of the Wizarding World, and none of them include following the teachings or desires of Albus Dumbledore.Come on a journey to see Harry take the Wizarding World by storm, making unlikely friends along the way and changing things forever.

Just to start off, thank you so much for reading this story. I am writing this for myself, I believe that Harry deserves more happiness than anyone. All characters and places do not belong to me, I am giving them a makeover. This story is also entirely unbeta'ed, it's all done by me so please excuse mistakes. Also, does anyone else play the game "guess where the author is from"? Is that just me? Regardless, let's see if you can tell ;)
