Hi folks,
Rather than send this to several lists at once..there are over 22 thousand emails in this inbox smiles, I am going to ask on one list..giving it time to provide the answer.
If it does not seem likely I will ask elsewhere.
What may? make the hunt harder is that I have not read the work as of yet, simply having an idea of the summary.
I also feel it might have been recommended here..some years back. Its why I am reasonably sure I have the work, just not a title or author.
Basically Harry has grown up in a rough setting, either on the streets, before reaching an orphanage..its possible it has only been an orphanage.
A young mundane couple decides to adopt him, aiming to ease his dark tendencies..without, I believe, knowing about magic at first.
Again I have not read the work, suspecting a darker than standard harry, Dark may be in the title.
Have planned to read the story, I go looking for it, find something else and..well.
Is there enough here for the work to ring a bell?
With appreciation,
Kare
