Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Snake by gonzoclock

Summary
What I wanted to write was a quick one-shot that explored the idea of Harry being the biological son of Voldemort, only Voldemort doesn't know he has a son and is also as evil as ever. Meanwhile, Harry is just a charismatic kid with a snake and ridiculously powerful magic.
It turned into a series rewrite.
Here's book one, I guess.
Features Harry Potter trying to keep his friends from doing crimes, a tired Remus Lupin spontaneously adopting a traumatized child with absurd magical capabilities, Severus Snape doing the bare minimum which is still somehow more than what Dumbledore is capable of, and Harry's friends' growing exasperation with Harry's terrible decision-making skills.

It turned into a series rewrite.
Here's book two.
Features: a Harry Potter making a ridiculous amount of terrible decisions; an exhausted Remus Lupin that did NOT sign up for this but by god will he be there for Harry anyways; a Severus Snape who didn't actually think this year could be worse then last year and is proven wrong in a big way; Dumbledore being awful; and Harry's snake Merlin, who just wants to play quidditch ONE TIME.

Not Like The Other Weasleys by ThatOneHarryPotterFan

Summary
“I’m doing something here I don’t do very often. I’m giving you a choice. Ronald, do you want to follow your own path? Do you want to follow your ambitions? Do you want to be looked up to?”. Yeah, that sounded bloody nice, Ron thought to himself.
Ron always hoped he would be sorted into Gryffindor, just like his brothers. But after seeing his so far only friend Harry get sorted into Slytherin, he starts doubting it a little. So, when the hat tells him he can thrive in Slytherin, that he was not just going to be another Weasley if he goes to Slytherin, Ron accepts.
This is a long-fic spanning from first to seventh year, from Ron Weasley's perspective. It's a Harry/Ron slow-burn, and when I say slow-burn, I really mean it. It's going to be slooow.
