   Summary

   From a very young age Harry Potter learned to hide and suppress his emotions. It was vital for his own survival, a way to deal with all the pain and hurt he was forced to live with. He was determined to eliminate them completely, he didn't need emotions. Not even if the principles of magic said otherwise. Not even when a certain snake warned him against it. A snake, who was a devoted Familiar to the Dark Lord; a chance encounter that naturally steered Harry towards a life-changing path.
