Summary
There is a picture in one of the books of a worn young man, heavily scarred with gentle eyes. Remus Lupin, he is identified as. The man who was watching Charles, and presumably Harry. The man who died defending them. Harry traces his fingertips over the man’s face and wonders.
And then he stops, and reels all those thoughts into a tangled knot and tucks it away.
They didn’t want him; that’s fine. He doesn’t want them either.

Severus Snape owes debts to a child presumed dead and the child's tormented godfather; and now he has a cunning, paranoid snake to charm all without tipping anyone else off to the boy's true identity.

Summary
“Such ego,” Harry breathes out shakily, though his voice trembles with strain.
Riddle grins, and with deliberate intimacy brushes a finger along Harry’s cheek, the touch soft and horrifying in equal measure, “Whatever happened to you, Hadrian…get over it. I’m going to be so much worse.”
Or
Harry Potter dies, and Hadrian Peverell survives. Tom Riddle is just what comes next, or perhaps, what was always there.

Making It Work by drarrily-we-row-along (fearfully_beautifully_made), fearfully_beautifully_made

Summary
Harry Potter has gone through six auror partners in the past four years but it's not his fault that so many people can't just see him as an ordinary bloke who just wants to do his job; they've all got some weird hero-worship complex.
Robards thinks he's found the solution by assigning Draco Malfoy to be his new partner. And while it's true that Malfoy probably doesn't have any sort of desire to save Harry over other people, it's also probably true that Malfoy is just as likely to kill him as anyone they might face on the job. Harry's pretty sure this isn't going to work but they're running out of people to partner Harry with at this point, so he has to give it a try.
He didn't expect that he'd ever be able to get along with Draco Malfoy, and he definitely didn't anticipate having to deal with all of the other feelings that have gone along with it.

Summary
“Pansy, I’m still not seeing what this has to do with me. You all clearly know more about the curse than I do. So what could I…”
“Granger...” Pansy interrupted. “We need you because aside from Astoria, who is worsening with time…”
Pansy had to take a breath and steel herself at the words before she could continue. Astoria gave Pansy a brief nod and squeeze of the hand.
“You’re the only person who has ever survived it.”
*****
Or: Astoria's been cursed. Hermione may be the only person who can cure her.

Harrison Potter and the Intervention of Fates by the_Lost_Wanderer
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
07 May 2023
Tags
Summary
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.

Summary

Summary
Voldemort intended the object to be used by his most loyal follower in the event that his horcruxes were destroyed, but it ended up in Hermione’s possession instead.
It sent her back to a time when he was much less the monster that she’d always known him to be. Nothing could have prepared her for the intelligence and charm of Tom Riddle.
He isn’t who she thought he was.
Hermione discovers that it’s a dark descent into the madness of the man she should hate, but can’t… a descent she will never emerge from.

The Prince of Slytherin by TheSinister_Man
Fandom: Harry Potter - Fandom, Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
22 Mar 2025
Summary
Harry Potter was Sorted into Slytherin after a crappy childhood. His brother Jim is believed to be the Boy Who Lived. This will not be the story you expect; follow Harry through a changed world as he learns of a world that was hidden from him, battles prophecies kept from him, and finds a place in it all despite adversity.
Year Four (Harry Black and the Resurrection Game) is currently ongoing. No romantic pairings prior to Fourth Year. Basically good Dumbledore and Weasleys, with limited bashing (mainly of James). Eldritch magic, and occasional breaks from canon - always with a purpose.
