    Summary

    Before his third year of Hogwarts has even begun, Harry faces three whole weeks of unsupervised time in Diagon Alley. In that time he takes a trip to Gringotts - and that changes everything.

    Burdened with the knowledge that Dumbledore has been blocking his family magic, and manipulating far more than he ever thought possible, Harry doesn't know who he can trust; but he knows he can't keep going that way. There's a whole world of lore and politics and history to catch up on, and the more he learns, the more Harry realises his true place in the world, and how much is being kept hidden from him. All the while, Dumbledore's twinkling eyes are constantly watching, and Harry can't let on how much he knows.

    With help from unexpected places, Harry starts on a journey to end the war, and reshape the wizarding world. With how much he looks like James Potter, people have forgotten one important thing about him - he is Lily Evans' son, and she was one hell of a witch.

    Summary

    “Please forgive me, Mom. I’m sorry, you were right,” he kept saying. “Forgive me.”

    Then Abby finally broke out of her stupor, rushing to his side. She didn’t hesitate before gathering Neil in her arms, holding him tightly against her chest even when his tears wet and stained her shirt.

    “I forgive you, Neil,” she whispered. “Sweetheart, I forgive you. It’s okay. I forgive you.”

    Summary

    “You remember your time with The Ravens, don’t you?”

    Nathaniel is still reeling—can’t tear his eyes away from the gun—but nods all the same. He stares down at the envelope without opening it.

    Ichirou makes a vague gesture. “Go on.”

    Nathaniel tears open the seal with quivering hands. He pulls out the first thing he can feel, a thin packet of paper with The Ravens’ logo stamped onto one corner.

    "Form of Agreement: Assistant Coach," it reads. "Edgar Allan Ravens."

    “What is this?” Nathaniel whispers.

    Ichirou doesn’t miss a beat. “My uncle is not in good health. He has a reputation to uphold, and is in need of a second coach. You will assist him until his condition improves.”

    “I haven’t played Exy in years.”

    “Brush up. Prove to me that you can be trusted. Miss Malcom will fill The Butcher’s position until a decision can be made about you.”
