Hogwarts: The Grey Wizard

Is "Harry Potter" a fairy tale?

Before Anton lies a wizarding world on the fringes, a world of dark wizards casually casting evil curses, of deceit and treachery, of stench and decay, a world like a quagmire.

In places beyond the Ministry of Magic's jurisdiction, even Snape's fearsome reputation for slaughtering people like flies echoes far and wide.

How to survive? That's the only thing he needs to consider.

Perhaps the Hogwarts acceptance letter's arrival will be the sunlight piercing through the gloomy clouds.

But before that, he must rely on himself.

Only himself!

"Crucio!" The curse's light illuminated Anton's face. He laughed with such exhilaration, "Yay, I survived again."
