    Summary

    chi·me·ra
    (noun)
    a thing that is hoped or wished for but in fact is illusory or impossible to achieve; an impossible dream.

     

    Harry Potter arrives at Hogwarts on September 1, 1991 and is everything the wizarding world expects. He is the Boy Who Lived: a brave, brash Gryffindor who will stand as a beacon for the Light.

    It's almost a pity that it's all a lie.

    (OR: an AU where Harry is taken from the Dursely's by a resurrected Voldemort and raised by loyal Death Eaters. To the world he's the Light's Golden Boy but his true self exists beneath a delicate bone mask and stands as the Dark Lord's equal)
