So, I have only even read one fanfic where Harry Leaves Hogwarts Early and Runs Away to Africa to become Potions Collector. I loved the fic (though I can't find it anymore, can someone help me with that?), I don't see anymore like it. And I don't trust myself to write one.

So here is my prompt:

Harry is a self sufficient, completely independent, intelligent, and powerful (pre-)teen and because of the years Harry had spent under the rule of the Dursley, he discovered his magic early on and used it to survive. He deliberately gets into Gryffindor to avoid a social and media outcry and Hermione and Ron's persistence was the only reasons that he ever played hero. All he wants is to just live his life on his terms and no one else's, not even Fate's.

There are several options for other on how Harry leaves Hogwarts to become a potions collector (reason for career is up to the author) after he finally gets fed up with the Wizarding World: Harry leaves Hogwarts before his sixth year because he feels that he will die if he stays in Britain; Leaves after first year because someone tried to kill him and he killed someone and no one seems to care about what he did or went through; Leaves after second year because of incompetent teachers, the pettiness of the school, he was forced to play hero and a basilisk tried to kill him; Leaves after third year because he is sick of all of the stupid adults around him and the stupidity of the Ministry of Magic; Leaves after fourth year because he is sick of the pettiness and stupidity of the Wizarding World, as well as realizing that staying in Britain will make it easier for Voldemort to find and kill him; Leaves after fifth year because Sirius dies, the ministry of magic is full of idiots, Voldemort would have kidnapped him if Dumbledore had been a second late, he realizes that Voldemort know about the abuse, as well as realizing that staying in Britain will make it easier for Voldemort to find and kill him (or does he still want to kill Harry? That is up to the author)

Voldemort must be sane and has to have found out the abuse that Harry suffered. Harry went through some serious stuff, but it is up to the author just how extreme the abuse can be. Voldemort wants Harry, but the author can decide in what way and Voldemort is obsessive and possessive and persistent yandere.

Voldemort knows… The author can decide just how much Voldemort knows

Dumbledore Bashing is encouraged but not required + Traitorous Ron Bashing is encouraged but not required + Severus Snape realizes the error of his ways too late

Harry has to be traveling a lot and have many interactions with native tribes and magical creatures from the country(ies) that he is collecting from. Harry has to show a natural talent with magical creatures and diplomacy when he finally stops pretending to be someone that he isn't.

So yeah… I might add on to it later… So have fun… All I ask is that you send me a link to the new story in a review… Please.
