    Summary

    In the grand scheme of things, one single person isn't much. They are a grain of sand in the vast desert, and they are lost without a trace, only to be briefly rediscovered when one looks at their family tree, or finds their gravestone hidden beneath the dirt and grass that cover it.

    But, for some unlucky people, the world seems to focus on their single grain, and gives them every bit of pain and suffering that it can.

    And for Harry Hartford, formerly known as Harry Potter, he is that grain of sand.

    But god, how he wished he wasn't.

    A retelling of the Harry Potter story which, while it generally hits the same story beats, falls off the wagon rather quickly. Where Harry grows up knowing he is loved, and he finds a new set of friends, and yet, at the same time, quickly learns that the world has it out for him for circumstances outside of his control.

    And because of that, he must find a way to survive without completely losing himself in the process.
