Around the time most young children's do, Harry's hair goes from his father's dark locks to his mother's bright, most-likely-magical red hair. It changes everything about who Harry identifies with, who he wants to grow up to be, and who he thinks he is. Instead of having James Potter as his idol, Lily Potter turns out to be a much better influence. So instead of seeing a scruffy, most-likely-a-muggleborn boy standing beside him in Madam Malkin's before their first year, Draco only has eyes for the scarlet haired, green-eyed creature who just walked into his life and instead of an enemy, he finds a reason to be better than he'd been raised to be. Not that Harry will ever notice, given he's trying to simply survive at Hogwarts. And Severus might not make it to see these boys graduate when his heart kept giving out seeing his very-Slytherin godson repeat his own history and go chasing after a green-eyed, red-haired Gryffindor. Turns out the Malfoys aren't that bad and Dumbledore definitely is. Remus is at his wit's end and Sirius gets a chance to actually live up to his title as Harry's dogfather. Tom Riddle is not prepared for any of this. Story Discord: https://discord.gg/cgywDum3

AU of PoA. Harry wakes in the night to a voice calling him from somewhere in the castle—and when he follows it, everything changes. Updated every Friday.

A letter from home? A letter from family? Well, Harry Potter knows he has neither, but all the same, it starts with a letter from Surrey. Whatever the Dursleys have to say, it can't be anything good, so Harry's determined to ignore it. But when the Potions Master forces him to read his letter, Harry gets sent down a path he'd never have walked on his own. It will be a year of big changes, a year of great pain, and a year of Harry confronting his worst fears.But from the most unexpected of sources, Harry Potter will finally get a chance to have that which he has never known: a family. A sixth year fic, this story follows Order of the Phoenix and disregards any canon events that occur after Book 5. Warning -- the comments can contain massive spoilers so proceed with caution!

After a bout of accidental magic when Harry is six, Vernon goes too far. When Harry wakes up, he is gravely wounded and more than fifty years in the past in another world. After some shuffling, Harry ends up at Wool's. There, he meets Tom Riddle, his mysterious roommate, eventual best friend, and the love of his life. Inspired by a doctor he meets in the past, Harry is determined to go into medicine and protect other children like himself and Tom. Tom has his own dream of becoming Prime Minister. The boys quickly become inseparable and are determined to help each other down their paths to build a life together. He wanted Harry. He had never coveted anyone this much. Tom understood now that some part of him had never given up on having a… friend. Someone who understood him more than anyone else. Someone who would always take his side. In a flash, he knew he would do anything to have Harry Faye’s loyalty.

Harry gets his magical inheritance as a Necromancer on his 16th birthday, the first in centuries. Unsure of his future or even who to trust after the Light shuns him, Harry turns to the Dark, the only other side that can assist him in seeking his revenge. However, it's all just temporary. It's just an alliance until his goals are met and then that's it. Just temporary...right?Slight Dumbledore and some Order member bashing. Sane Voldemort but Horcruxes do exist. A Harry/Voldemort but incredibly slow-burn. Not really graphic in deaths at least not yet. If that changes the rating will change.

They sought her out for conversation sometimes, cornering her in the garden or at the park, not that they ever had much to say. Really, Harriet thought snakes were rather dull. --------- Harriet Potter has always been odd. Between having a shadow that moves on its own and chatting with grass snakes, learning she's a witch really isn't the strangest thing to happen to the bespectacled girl with a lightning scar on her neck. Harriet attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where she makes new friends, encounters a prickly Potions Master, learns about the Boy Who Lived, and meets the enigmatic Defense Against the Dark Arts instructor, Professor Tom Slytherin.

This summer was the breaking point for Harry Potter. On top of the verbal and physical abuse he went through, he now has to compete in a competition he did not sign up for. Harry's 'friends' have abandoned him, his teachers not believing him and is left to fend for himself. Harry sneaks down to the Chamber of Secrets to release tension and panic in private but ends up discovering Slytherin's Personal Library.Armed with magic, shielded by a Horcrux he discovers inside himself, Harry vows to no longer become victim to manipulation. In doing so, Harry breaks the hold that was on his magic, discovers his creature inheritance and maybe ends up saving the world with his so thought enemy.

“Go.” She said, not quite yelling but suddenly intense as she herded Harry back, away from the pillar and towards the tracks. “Go now, boy, or you’ll miss your train!” He looked behind his shoulder, there was a train....he hadn’t heard it approach. The doors were open and waiting, and for no good reason at all, he stepped inside. The strange little woman didn’t follow him on, she simply stood there watching him. that same incomprehensible smile on her face. “Which path will you choose?” She asked again, just before the doors closed, replacing his view of her with his own, pale reflection. =================== Sirius was gone, and Harry's world was crumbling through his fingers. All he wanted was a little peace, just a moment to himself. Maybe it was a wish come true. Maybe it was just the machinations of a strange little witch and her enchanted locket. When Harry found himself, now fifty years in the past, on his birthday he doesn't question it too much. He just take the opportunities set before him.

Death was not what Harry thought it would be. An empty train and a being proclaiming himself to be the Death, telling him that, “sorry, no afterlife for you” certainly wasn't anywhere near his expectations. And having his soul and magic crammed back into his four year old body, being told that he can never die… That was another painful kick to the groin. But Harry is British, and the phrase “keep calm and carry on” is practically a part of him by now. He realises that this is a second chance at life. To actually live and do whatever the hell he wants without being someone else’s pawn. It is a new beginning, and things are going to be vastly different this time around. UPDATE: As of Novmber 2024 this story is in the process of being updated/rewritten.

Sequel to The End Is The Beginning! After years of living and healing in his younger body, it is finally time for Harry to return to Hogwarts, the seat of Dumbledore's power. Like a caterpillar he has matured and is ready to break through his metaphorical cocoon and spread his wings. Plans are unfolding, plots are solidifying and the future will never be the same.

Revenge is the misguided attempt to transform shame and pain into pride. Being forsaken and neglected, ignored and forgotten, revenge seems a fairly competent obligation at this point.Skylar is the boy who lived, that's why he's important. I'm not Skylar.Going to Hogwarts is part of the plan, waking the basilisk is part of the plan, taking potions, learning spells, being tortured, murdering others, watching people di- I’m going to tell you a story, although it’s a bit long. I’m going to make you listen, because I want you to understand how you made me a monster. I’ll call this story antithesis, and you’re going to learn every single moment where things went wrong. I want you to cry, and beg for me to kill you, and when I’m done with this, you’re going to want to do that to yourself. You’re going to listen, because in the end, you owe me that much. You owe me so much more, but here we are, and this is how it’s going to end. Who knows, maybe this useless battle between you and me and this bloody world, well, maybe we always were fated to kill each other. Do you know what it is like to be unmade?

What if the prophecy kept at the Hall of Prophecies was manipulated to suit the needs of an old manipulator? What if the recent Dark Lord forgot his original goals in his quest to attain immortality and cheat Death? What if the Boy-Who-Lived accepted his death even before he knew he was the Boy-Who-Lived? And what if the Fates intervened to start a new game of 'chess'? ---------“Dumbledore seriously needs to check his morals! He wants a child to kill a grown-up wizard! Not to mention one of the most powerful dark wizards in Britain!” “The prophecy does say you’d be his equal," Atropos pointed out. “Only raw magical power won’t be able to do anything," Harry pointed out. “I can’t just fire off spells at him and hope for the best. Besides, he must have had at least three decades worth of experience over me.” “Five decades actually," Lord Death supplied. Harry slumped slightly. “You guys and Dumbledore both are insane!”, he proclaimed. “We didn’t say you will have to kill him really," Atropos pointed out.

Have you been missing a time travel Tomarry where Harry and Tom are on somewhat equal footing? Where Tom is a plausible budding political leader? Where Harry can stand up to him and their relationship doesn’t seem toxic? Where the surrounding events and characters don’t go unnoticed? I have, so I gave writing one a try. “The war is over and the Wizarding Britain has been slowly rising from the ashes. Harry just wishes none of it ever happened – what will he do when he’s given a chance to change the past? Was Dumbledore right about “the power he knows not” after all?“

Harry Potter has been reborn again and again into new bodies as the Master of Death, some of them not human, none of them exactly like his old one—but he has always helped to defeat Voldemort in each new world. Now he’s Harry Potter again, but his slightly older brother is the target of the prophecy, and Harry assumes his role is going to be to support Jonathan in his defeat of Voldemort. At least, that’s what he thinks until Voldemort comes that Halloween night, discovers what Harry is, and kidnaps him. The story of a long fight between Voldemort’s sadism and Harry’s generosity.

Harry has been blamed for being the Heir of Slytherin, and it seems like everyone in the school is against him. All he wants is to not be Harry Potter and have a normal life for once. A wish that is impossible when you are known as the Boy-Who-Lived. This will be very different from my "Serpent Lies in Crimson." This is a slash. I don't own any of the Harry Potter books or movies. As I could never match the genius that is J.K. Rowling. Enjoy

There is something wrong with Hermione. Dramione non-cona/b/oAU- no Voldemort.Draco Malfoy is much older than Hermione in this fic.Alpha Draco, Omega Hermione.Dark story. No underage sex. Will update tags as I go along. Please heed the tags! *** Do not plagiarise. ***

Curiosity killed the cat, satisfaction brought it back. Harry's curiosity leads him to exploring the Chamber a bit more thoroughly before he leaves for the Summer. What he finds there gives him a new responsibility beyond just himself and a lifelong satisfaction in the choices he makes from there on.

Third story in the "Like None Other" universe. During his final year at Hogwarts, relationships will splinter as Harry confronts secrets long-buried and faces the greatest challenge of them all. Warning -- the comments can contain massive spoilers so proceed with caution!

Harry Potter is a very special, but very abused little boy. When a giant drags him into a world unknown, he'll need all the help he can get to understand his newfound belonging. Lucky for him, he has a snake, a dragon, and a horde of protective allies on his side.

Harry Potter was Sorted into Slytherin after a crappy childhood. His brother Jim is believed to be the BWL. Think you know this story? Think again. Year Three (Harry Potter and the Death Eater Menace) starts on 9/1/16. NO romantic pairings prior to Fourth Year. Basically good Dumbledore and Weasleys. Limited bashing (mainly of James).

Rose Potter spent twenty-one years as the Chosen One. Reborn as Harry Potter's twin, he alone has the scar after that Samhain night. Harry knows there's something odd about his sister - she's too old, too mature, and knows far too many things she shouldn't - but he loves her anyway. He's been there for her ever since they were born, so Rose'll be damned if she lets history repeat itself. (In her past life, Hogwarts didn't unite until the very end and everyone suffered for it) (Lily Potter was willing to do anything and sacrifice everything for the safety of her family. Rose intended to do nothing less) In which not all Slytherins are evil, not all Gryffindors are good, and the Wizarding World is more than just an extension of the Muggle one. Years 1-3

Harry finally heads to Hogwarts with his serpent Jax and a determination to better his lot in life and maybe even make a couple friends along the way.

AU. Voldemort cursed Harry in the graveyard so that he can only speak Parseltongue. Harry embarks on his fifth year alternately furious and despairing and trying to learn faster writing, British Sign Language, and nonverbal casting all at once. It turns out that not all Slytherins are Malfoy or Snape, and not everyone is frightened of Parseltongue.

Harry Potter returns to school after a first year filled with peril, brotherly battles and a changing world. Conflict follows from school to Privet Drive and back to school, where an altogether too mysterious man of fame and fortune is their new Defence teacher - and it only becomes worse when the Petrifications start.

Harry never gave much thought to how he would die, not after the war at least, however being mauled by werewolves was certainly not what he’d had in mind. It was painful and sort of embarrassing. He’d assumed that would be it, that he’d pass over and join his loved ones in the afterlife. He’d assumed wrong. He found himself reborn in a world filled with violence, deception and depravity, where a Mad King burned people alive for the slightest offence, real or imagined. Harry was a prince, heir to the Iron Throne after his father, which was a curse more than it was a blessing, one he hoped he would not have to bear until he was old and grey. Harry should have known not to tempt fate... This is NOT a Harry/Daenerys or Jon/Daenerys story!!! Please stop suggesting that they get together.

Some children are afraid of the dark. But not all. There are those children who find comfort and protection in the dark. No one can get to them then. They are safe. Their protector comes with the shadows, not the light.In which Pitch Black is also the Guardian of Abused Children.

Harry and his snake's first summer away from the Dursleys and second year at Hogwarts. Featuring an awkward summer, an even more useless Defense professor than the one that had spent a year trying to murder him, a voice in the walls, a slew of petrified children, and a mysterious diary that seems oddly compelling.

A lonely eight year old Harry Potter learns he can talk to snakes, shaping future events in a way not many would have expected.

Abused by the Dursley’s and ignored by everyone else, Parseltongue becomes Harriet Potter’s escape and brings out her Slytherin side. After a chance encounter with Draco aged 8 brings her abilities to light, the Malfoys, and eventually Severus, take an interest and induct Harry into the magical world (not that they know she’s really Harry Potter!).

As Harry Potter slays the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, blood and venom get in his eyes, mostly blinding him. While Harry learns to adapt, he makes some new friends. But this is more than a story of adaptation and friendship as there are threats... and Harry isn't the only one with a past that haunts him. 10-20-2021 I've started recording a podcast of this fanfic, find it on spotify:https://open.spotify.com/episode/0F1WFCHXmZs68LObsQORbh

What if Harry decides that all of the death from the war was pointless and does something about it? So, he gets ahold of a time turner and purposely travels back in time to stop Voldemort from rising with no intentions to return to his proper time. How does Harry's life and the future change because of this decision?

Harry and Jax’s second summer at Spinner’s End and third year at Hogwarts. One filled with new and exciting classes, a surprisingly competent Defense Professor, and a few revelations that nobody saw coming, least of all Harry himself.

The Emperor was tired. After 1000 years of concubines he finally wanted something more. He wanted someone to last, to live the ages with him. He needed a Consort. (There will be a rewrite for this story but it won't be forthcoming until later in 2017.)

The Dark Lord has risen. An unexpected ally returns to deliver troubling news. As Voldemort gathers power it is a nerve wracking summer for Harry and Jax as they are sequestered away from their home and Spinner's End. With fifth year also come O.W.L.s and a new Defense teacher that seems more interested in suppressing the truth than preparing them for the coming danger.
