Hi, people! 'Sup? Akela here.

I have one story ongoing for Harry Potter. It's my attempt to write a more accurate, believable Harry than what JKR thinks is an adequate portrayal. I began conceptualizing it before Christmas '05 so some of the storylines might seem dated. I just never got enough of it down to make the story worth posting. Unfortunately, I'm just not as proficient and prolific as most other fanfic writers out there so please bear with me. This story will be updated extremely slowly.

It's an AU fic which generally follows canon up to the end of fifth year. After that it starts to go in it's own direction. The pairing is HarryMulti. I've taken some liberties with some of the details of the characters, the most significant of which are:

Hermione is younger than Harry in this fic. Her birthday is still September 19 but she's born a year later. That makes her two months younger than Harry rather than ten months older. She's the youngest in her class.

Tonks is a year younger. OoTP implies that she'd been an auror for about a year before she first met Harry, making her a sophomore on the force. That supports the timeline in the HP Lexicon. In this fic, Tonks meets Harry as a newly graduated auror--no rookie year. That means she was in her seventh year when Harry first arrived at Hogwarts.

The impetus for this fic came from my disgust at JKR's characterization of Harry. It's blatantly obvious that she has no clue about the mindset of a teenage boy in general, let alone one who has endured what Harry has. No teen worth his salt would be so passive, blindly-trusting, naive, forgiving and lazy in the face of what was in store for him following the events of the first five books. This Harry will not be Dark or Gray per se. He'll probably come off as occasionally sociopathic, ruthless, moody, driven and angry. Very, very angry. Which is entirely how any normal male teen would be if they lived Harry's life. I tried to make my Harry as plausible and accurate as I could.

I hope you enjoy!
