Please read this before continuing, or you may be very confused.
I read a HP fanfiction a few years ago, of which I don't remember the title or the author, which I have since been unable to find. In it Harry Potter was abandoned early on by the Dursleys, and then went on to become a world famous duelist, by the pseudonym Joseph Seward (I think), known for wearing his trademark black beanie, which he used to cover his scar while dueling. I remember enough about certain scenes that I should be able to find the story again via Google, but have yet achieve any success.
The following fanfiction will be based as close to that story as I can remember, given that I read it once, several years ago. Most of the plot up to a certain point will not be my own. I'll try to indicate which is remembered and which is my creative license filling in the gaps. Given the already developed plot and my somewhat sketch memory, I'll be posting chapters as I remember them, which may or may not be chronologically, and will definitely be very confusing if you didn't read the original.
If anyone who reads this knows where the original is or who the author is, please tell me. If the original author decides that they don't want me playing with (and probably horribly massacring) their ideas, feel free to tell me and I'll take this down.
If not... turn the page.
