17: Charismatic Harry

AU fanfic.

Harry has the power the two old men in his life know not… he is well-liked! Or, to be more accurate, he has the drive and skill to be well-liked wherever he goes. Skilled at navigating any social situation, an adept at telling how people feel and how to react, more than a little power and intelligence… he has it all! Sadly, this leads to a rather lonely life as everyone around him… doesn't really know him. Just his façade. That is, until one night when he finds a lonely soul wandering the Hogwarts corridors alone and shoeless. The two of them bond, and their affection for one another changes the world for the better.
