Summary
Creating horcruxes is a tricky business.
So… what happens when it gets screwed up? What if the soul shard was left unprotected or—even worse—attached to another soul? Well, it wouldn’t be good for the horcrux, that’s for sure. And god only knows what it’d do to the other soul…
Harry Potter grows up in an abusive home while also dealing with a Shadowy Voice in his mind. What does that sort of thing do to a child? Will he ignore his Other Voice and join forces with his long-lost twin brother, the so-called ‘Boy-Who-Lived,’ as heirs apparent to the Light? Or will he succumb to the voice in his head, and begin following the path of Darkness?
Or maybe he’ll choose something different. Can Harry maintain his fundamental goodness while traveling a journey full of theft, Unforgivables, murder, and mayhem?

Summary
Harry Potter was a weapon. Not because of a soul piece, or a talent, or sacrifice, or love. But because he was raised to be one.
He’s just… not quite the weapon Albus expected.
Harry is not the Boy Who Lived, but Dumbledore has big plans for him anyway. Also Snape did not want a child, especially not this child. But Harry has plans for him anyway.

Of Defense Against the Dark Arts... Right?
