Rumour Has It

by delmar.alani

Everyone thinks they know Harry Potter, after all they have been hearing about his exploits for years. He's the quintessential hero! However, they couldn't be more wrong. He is a far cry from a hero. Harry was of the opinion that there really was no good and bad in this world. There's only opportunity, circumstance, and justification.

1. Prologue

Many have heard the name, Harry James Potter, but few have ever met a child such as he. There are rumours, yes. Rumours and stories of outlandish feats of bravery and magic have traveled through many a grapevine and created wondrous and fantastic images and ideas of who this child might be. However, it is but a guarantee that all of the rumours and whispers of his name are filled with lies. You see… Harry James Potter is not a great child. He has never gone on epic adventures filled with incredible beasts and feats of magic or saved damsels from dragons and boggarts. The child that the wizarding world has labeled a hero is in fact nothing of the sort. No, Harry James Potter is a far cry from a hero.

AN:

This is my first Harry Potter fanfiction. Whether or not I will continue with this story will depend on the responses receive from the readers. I am not the owner of the Harry Potter series. That privilege belongs to J.K. Rowling. I am but a humble fan writing a fiction borrowing the characters.
