NGC Recs Minor to Major
A collection where a character that is usually a minor character* is one of the lead roles. In general, this means they are one of the POV characters. Otherwise they are prominent, reoccurring characters in the story.
* What qualifies as a “minor” character may vary. In general, my thought is that canon treats them as a minor character + they don’t make up one of the top ships in the fandom.

Summary
Percy Weasley is not particularly reckless, until he is, once, on the anniversary of his brother's death. For most people, the idea of sending oneself through time to correct one's mistake would remain a fantasy, something to dwell on in the middle of the night, but Percy has always been too capable for his own good.
Featuring: a reluctant spy, an unlikely friendship between a ghost and a lonely student, a portrait, very few friends, several very lengthy conversations about soul magic, and far too many Horcruxes.
(Or, an attempt to answer the question, if someone intelligent was sent back through time, armed only with the word 'Horcrux' and a general knowledge of the main timeline––not to mention a keen understanding of the Hogwarts curriculum––could that person logic his way to defeating the Dark Lord? Only time will tell).
COMPLETE.

Summary
“You’ve got a fever,” Wei Wuxian says soothingly. “You just keep still as well as you can. We’ll have you fixed up soon.”
Lan Sizhui recognizes his tone—this is the voice that Wei Wuxian uses on hurt people and young children, a very calm and no-nonsense voice that has none of the mischief and cheer of the way he sounds the rest of the time. Lan Sizhui looks up and meets his eyes, and they are dark, stormy gray, muddled and concerned.
“I’m all right,” he croaks.
“Hush,” Wei Wuxian says, in a low croon, like someone quieting a baby. Then he blinks, and looks away, awkward. “I mean—you shouldn’t speak. You’re tired. Rest if you need to.”
—
lan sizhui gets sick on a night hunt. wei wuxian comforts him. they both have a lot of feelings about it.

Summary
“What is Gege looking for in a spouse?” San Lang was clearly in a teasing mood. It was no use being flustered. Xie Lian’s only option was to play along.
“They’d have to be kind.” He started thoughtfully. “And they couldn’t be too particular, I lead a pretty simple life and I can’t imagine that changing very much, even after I get married…. Oh! And they’d have to get along with my kids.”
San Lang abruptly started coughing. “Gege has kids?” He choked out.
Banyue and Pei Xiu find Xie Lian before he can leave them in the desert. All of a sudden, Xie Lian is a single father of two.
