Description:

Harry Potter is sorted into the house of Slytherin and becomes best friends with Draco Malfoy. Together, they explore the dangers lurking around every corner and the dark truths about themselves, navigating their strange lives with only the trust of each other as their lives spiral rapidly out of control. But even then, will their unwavering loyalty to each other be enough to keep them together, or will the forces of fate eventually have its way with them?

(Title from the song 'The Red Means I Love You' by Madds Buckley)

Notes:

There will be A LOT of text and dialogue taken straight out of the books and films. I'm just going to say that I do not own Harry Potter or any of the book's characters, that all belongs to J. K. Rowling. This is a piece of fiction written by a fan with pieces taken from the original books and edited/added to to create my own narrative.

I decided to write Harry with a stutter for no real reason, I just wanted to. Harry having a stutter isn't the focal point of this story, it's just another element to it. The first book explores Harry's struggle with it more than the others will because it's kind of necessary since it's the introduction to this AU and all. This fanfic is not intended to mock/insult anyone with a stutter/speech impediment. Of course, there will be characters (coughcoughdraco) who will make fun of Harry, simply because that's how they are as a character. I want to be as respectful as possible when I portray Harry with a stutter, but if you think there is something worth correcting in my writing and I've messed up, PLEASE let me know and I will act accordingly.
