    Summary

    What if Voldemort attacked both Neville and Harry that Halloween night?
    The world crowns Neville as the Boy Who Lived. Harry is presumed dead, lost in fire and legend.

    But far from magic, a boy with strange powers grows up unseen, unnamed, and forgotten. And in the shadows, a fugitive godfather risks everything: prison, death, and worse; for one impossible goal; to give Harry a name, a future, and a home.

    A Name in the Ashes is a canon-divergent take on the “Wrong Boy Who Lived” trope, told with a focus on emotional realism, character depth, and slow-burning tension. It avoids character bashing in favour of layered perspectives; people may clash or fail each other, but no one is villainised for the sake of plot. Though not a crack fic, the series carries a thread of humour, especially through character dynamics and interactions.

    Part One of “The Seven Names of Harry Potter.”
    Spans from Halloween 1981 to just after Harry's tenth birthday.
    A quiet beginning to a larger story of identity, memory, and found family.
    No pairings.
    Complete.
