Shadow of the Serpent: Heir of Darkness (Harry Potter Fan Fiction)

A storm brews in the shadows of the wizarding world, but this time, it isn't Voldemort who threatens everything. Meet Dorian Selwyn, the last heir of one of the oldest and most feared bloodlines in magical history. Hidden from the world for years, Dorian was raised in darkness, mastering ancient, forbidden magic—magic that even Voldemort has never dared to touch. As the wizarding world fixates on Harry Potter and the return of the Dark Lord, Dorian is quietly weaving his own sinister plan—a plan that will bring wizardkind to its knees and rewrite the rules of magic forever. Where Voldemort craves power, Dorian craves something far more dangerous: total destruction of the world as they know it, followed by its rebirth in his image. With both the Ministry of Magic and the Death Eaters unaware of the serpent lurking in their midst, Dorian strikes from the shadows, manipulating those on both sides to further his own ambitions. But when his path inevitably crosses with Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort, the stage is set for a war that will decide not just the fate of the wizarding world—but the very future of magic itself. This is not the story of a hero, nor a simple villain. This is the rise of a forgotten heir, the true master of serpents, who seeks to claim his birthright in blood and fire.
