Harry Potter is taken to Black Manor when he is seven. He is raised by feared duellists and cunning politicians. He goes to Hogwarts with unexpected allies and new enemies to look out for. Harry learns of a new path between Light and Dark: the path of Grey. The path that will keep Wizarding Britain in order, the path of balance.

I have survived life in the Seam, two Quarter Quells and a revolution. I mentored the Girl on Fire and led her to victory. I worked with the lost district. I turned Panem upside down. My name is Haymitch Abernathy and this is my story. From beginning to end; from the Second Quarter Quell to the end of the second rebellion.
