This is an extremely AU crossover fic that asks the question what might have happened if Petunia Dursley hadn't found a young Harry Potter sleeping on her doorstep on the morning of the 2nd of November 1981. After all, Dumbledore was a bit careless with the savior of the Wizarding World that fateful night. Further, what if Dumbledore hadn't managed to find Harry again until the summer of 1996 and then had to convince a very different 16 year old Harry to attend Hogwarts?
I loved this story so much! Don’t be put off by the fact that it’s a crossover; I haven’t a clue what the other universe was, but it in no way spoiled my enjoyment of this story. It’s only ten chapters, but those are ten long chapters, packed full of action and humour.
Harry is rescued from the Dursley’s doorstep by an elite master assassin, and raised as his son until Dumbledore finally stumbles across him when he is 16 years old. While Albus wants Harry to come to Hogwarts as the long lost Boy Who Lived, Harry sees no reason to leave the family who have loved and raised him - while also training him as a deadly assassin. In the end Dumbledore gets him to Hogwarts by hiring him to assassinate Voldemort.
A wonderful story that had me laughing out loud at Voldemort’s ineptitude and Harry’s sexual escapades. Yes, sex is mentioned a lot, but not described in detail, and is fine for teenagers to read. There’s no romantic pairing in this fic, but plenty of witches falling into Harry’s bed.
