Summary
Harry Potter never expected to be Sorted again.
After the Dementor incident leaves him expelled and fighting for his place in the wizarding world, an ancient Hogwarts safeguard reveals a startling truth: the Boy-Who-Lived was placed in the wrong House.
Resorted into Slytherin at the start of his sixth year, Harry expects hostility. What he finds instead is a group of students who ask uncomfortable questions. Questions nobody has ever asked before.
Questions like why Harry hides food.
Why he flinches when people raise their voices.
Why he thinks sleeping in a cupboard is normal.
One casual conversation about house-elves changes everything.
Because Harry isn't the only one listening.
And once Severus Snape learns the truth about Lily Potter's son, some secrets can no longer remain buried.
Featuring protective Slytherins, reluctant mentor Snape, slow-burn Drarry, political intrigue, and a Harry Potter who finally learns what it means to have people in his corner.
