Prolog

Harry Potter, the Boy-Who-Lived, was now 27 years old and lived far away from the British Isles. Having defeated Voldemort at the age of 14, and sat his OWLs the following summer at the Ministry of Magic, he had left the wizard world behind, changed his name, and severed nearly all ties to his old life. He still kept in touch with the few friends he had made, but most magic-people were quite miffed with him, and couldn't understand why he had no desire to stay. To Harry, the list of reasons to leave was quite long, however. Beginning with the fact that he had no desire to cater to a people that put their own lives on the shoulders of a single child, yet they turned their backs on said child at the drop of a hat. Furthermore, wizards had a distinct lack of common sense, and a twisted view on good and evil that made equally less sense.

Harry had grown up isolated from the wizard world, and only learned later on that a single man had planned his life to a very early end. Harry was an orphan, having lost his parents at a very young age, then credited to have defeated the same man that murdered them, and ending a war in the process. Harry had grown up with magic-hating relatives; his mother's sister and her family, which had nearly lost him his life. His aunt, Petunia, was verbally abusive, and would smack him over the head with a frying pan whenever he failed at cooking; being treated like a slave was apparently how he 'earned his keep' in that house. His uncle Vernon, was physically abusive, and he had a temper that he took out on Harry for every little reason he saw fit. His cousin, Dudley, took after his parents, and would gather his group of friends to play 'Harry Hunting', in which, if Harry was caught, he would be beaten up. Harry also got the blame for all the misdeeds his cousin and his gang did, earning Harry a very bad reputation.

Harry later learned that he was deliberately raised like this, so that he would believe his own life to be worthless, hence willing to sacrifice himself for 'the Greater Good'. Friends of his parents were ordered to stay away from him, for that same reason, and the manipulation just kept going. That plan went out the window when Harry was eight, however; Vernon had come home with a full blown temper, and Harry had nearly been beaten to death. Harry still didn't know what had triggered the man's anger, but that near-death experience had reawakened an ancient force within him, and, from that day on, his relatives never bothered him again. Cadis Etrama di Raizel was no man to be trifled with, not even in the body of a child, and, while he had never harmed them, his relatives came to regret the way they had treated him.

Three years later, Harry was reintroduced to the wizard world, and to the fame of being the only person to ever having survived the infamous 'Killing Curse'. People he had never heard of, had read all kinds of made up stories about him for years, and many were left confused when their image of him proved to be as false as they come. The fact that he only spoke when he saw it necessary, was off-putting and confusing, especially when, the few times he did speak, he never said what they expected him to. Harry also learned that, while everyone had been told that he looked like his father, though he had his mother's eyes, he actually looked more like his mother, with his father's hair-color. His hair was straight, not at all like the messy bird's nest that his father had, though his eyes were indeed just as bright as his mother's. His scar, described as a fresh-looking lightning bolt, was faded to the point where it was nearly invisible. The soul-fragment that had once occupied it, was long gone.

Harry didn't like the pushy red-haired boy he had met on the train, and he liked the boy even less when he made a girl cry, ultimately resulting in her being attacked by a troll. Harry had skipped the Halloween Feast to keep her company, even if she told him she didn't want his help. Though, she had eventually come out from the toilet stall she had hidden in, and sat with him on the floor, thanking him for being there, even if he didn't say anything. Harry had liked Hermione; she may have been on his case for staring blankly out the windows in classes, but she had grown on him. She had cornered him after class and dragged him to the library to force him to study, then taken it upon herself to explain everything to him, then ordered him to come to the library to study with her every day, but, despite her bossy, know-it-all attitude, she had continued talking to him, and he had gotten to know her when she wasn't in full-blown student-mode. She saw him as Harry – the weird quiet boy – not as the boy-who-lived, and she had cried in happiness when his first words to her were a confirmation that she was, indeed, his friend.

Hermione was the first person he told about his past life; after seeing his power against the troll, she kept his secret by telling the teachers that they had never encountered the troll at all; ultimately making the staff believe the troll had merely been a prank. Hermione had told enough of the truth to make a very believable story, and the red-haired boy, Ron, had gotten detention for bullying. She also never left Harry's side after that, and continued trying to get him to talk more, though she never forced him. She knew he was listening, and that was enough for her. She also knew he would never lie to her, so, when the matter of the third floor came up, she listened when he told her the Philosopher's Stone was a fake. He had been there when the stone was removed from Gringotts, and he had felt no power radiating off whatever it was that had actually been in the vault. Furthermore, Headmaster Dumbledore was no idiot, and would likely make it impossible for anyone to steal it, even if it had been the real deal. Respect for authority aside, Hermione would normally be the one arguing to stay out of the matter, and let the adult take care of it, and she did not appreciate the sudden and uncharacteristic need to 'save' the stone, especially when she realized her need was to get Harry to save the stone.

Harry had watched her talking to herself when she got to the conclusion that she was being manipulated, and he could practically see the how the sense of betrayal crushed her 'adults are always right'-ideal. She had been in denial at first, insisting it was another student wanting them to get into trouble, but that all came to an end when Harry revealed that Professor Quirrel was possessed, and the wards around the castle would've informed the Headmaster, who was doing nothing. At the end of the year, Hermione nearly had a panic attack when she learned the headmaster had left the castle, only to be furious to learn it was just another spell. At the House Cup Ceremony, Hermione's last sliver of denial was stomped when she noticed the way the headmaster looked at Harry throughout the Feast. It was a look she would never forget, and she became determined to keep Harry alive from that point on. As the years went by, Hermione was the one to unravel the conspiracy surrounding his life, and, in the end, she followed Harry's lead, and left.

In Second Year, Harry sensed the other soul-fragment before the Hogwarts Express had even left Kings Cross Station. He later tracked down its location, then had Hermione collect it, as he couldn't get it himself. He had destroyed the diary in a secret room on the seventh floor, where, the previous year, the two had discovered yet another fragment. This was also the year they had met Luna, an odd little Seer whom had recognized Harry for who, and what, he was, and became a good friend. Unfortunately, they had also met Ginny, another redhead, and BWL-fangirl whom kept insisting Harry should act the way she expected him to. She wouldn't accept that Harry wasn't interested in Quidditch, or that he wasn't even a Gryffindor for that matter. She was also very jealous of Luna, for being in the same house as him, but aside from this, the remainder of the year was quiet, except for Harry turning out to be a Parselmouth, causing all kinds of rumors to fly, though that mostly died down by the end of the year, while the headmaster just seemed more confused than ever.

That following summer, Hermione was the first to inform Harry of the escape of Sirius Black, and the first to discover he was Harry's sworn Godfather, something that, in turn, proved the man was actually innocent of the crimes he was thrown into Azkaban for. Magical Vows were dangerous things, and the Vows sworn by a Godparent were deadly if broken. As such, when Harry encounter the man, in the form of a black dog, he invited his Godfather inside for a talk. Then, though the man didn't like it, Sirius stayed with Hermione's family until Harry could arrange for a proper trial, and a good lawyer. Sirius was a free man by the end of the calendar year, just in time for Christmas, meanwhile Harry had to deal with another so-called 'family friend' while at Hogwarts. Remus Lupin, a werewolf, had no idea of his true power, and Harry was not happy with how the man kept trying to suppress his wolf. He also didn't like how the man had not told him of his relationship with his parents, upon orders of the headmaster, but the man's tune changed when Harry visited him during a Full Moon, out in the Shrieking Shack. Being 'Awakened' by Harry, Remus had gotten a taste of what a true werewolf was, and the man had since dedicated his life to teaching other werewolves the same.

For Harry, awakening Remus had also confirmed a very important difference between his current life and his past life. While his past life was living on a limited Life Force, using up his life as he used his power, he no longer felt that drain as Harry. He could feel his life replenishing, though he wasn't entirely sure why. Hermione and Luna both believed it was the fact that he was a wizard in this life, and that he was able to absorb ambient magic in the environment to replenish what he had used. Hermione suspected that he would still damage himself from the inside if he used too much power at once, but that theory remained unconfirmed to this day. Either way he was grateful to have that burden off his shoulders.

During the remaining school year, Sirius returned to his childhood home and found a fourth soul fragment, along with the discovery that his brother had died betraying the Dark Lord. Acting on a hunch, Sirius had then sent a letter to Gringotts, resulting in a fifth fragment being discovered and consequently destroyed. In the following fourth school year, Hogwarts played host to two other magic schools as the Triwizard Tournament was being held. Hermione, acting on a hunch that Harry may be entered against his will, ultimately prevented just that from happening, and they could see the reaction of both the headmaster and the new DADA professor when only three champions where chosen. At the end of the year though, Harry was kidnapped; sent to a graveyard in a place called Little Hangleton. There, the Dark Lord, had been waiting for him, but stood little chance against the Noblesse. Harry destroyed the homunculus that inhabited the Dark Lord's spirit and incapacitated the man who had framed Sirius for betraying his parents. Then, Harry had sensed the last fragment in a nearby forest, in a hidden house filled with traps. Destroying the fragment, Harry returned to Hogwarts and to his worried friends.

At the end of the year, Harry paid a visit to the headmaster, confronted him about his plan, and supplying him with the destroyed remains of the Dark Lord's Horcruxes, and informed the man that the one inside his scar was also gone, something that was confirmed by the man's phoenix. Dumbledore could do nothing but stare in shock as his whole plan was unraveled before his eyes, and he had no choice but to accept the fact that his actions had driven the boy-who-lived to leave. Harry informed him that he would be sitting his OWLs a year early, and would never step foot in the wizard world again, after that. That following summer, Harry sat his exam at the Ministry, as the last member of an Ancient and Noble House, then shocked everyone as he sold or gave away everything he owned in the wizard world, transferring his money to a mundane bank account, and then disappeared.

Hermione and her family, along with Remus and Sirius, then helped Harry catch up with his mundane education before he and Sirius moved to South Korea, where Harry enrolled in Ye Ran High School. Harry had been shocked to learn his past life's servant had, in fact, build the same school that Harry had chosen to enroll in, and was acting as the Chairman and Principal. However, ultimately, Harry chose not to approach the man. The following year, Hermione also left after taking her OWLs, and continued her mundane schooling in the same school as Harry. Luna followed another year later, and Remus moved in with Harry and Sirius once Luna was out of Britain.

Then, when Harry graduated, he then chose to return to Ye Ran as a teacher, where he has worked ever since.
