Polyjuice and Prophecy: A Tale of Dark Deception by Astrangefan
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
It all starts with a prophecy. Lord Voldemort has been given a new prophecy, one that will guarantee him untold magical powers. Unfortunately his success depends on the fulfillment of the prophecy by none other than Draco Malfoy.
Draco Malfoy's 16th summer was not like other boys' 16th summers. Lucius goes to prison, the Dark Lord takes up residence in Malfoy Manor, his mother, on the verge of collapsing from the trauma of it all, has other responsibilities that don't include mothering a 16-year-old boy.
Draco must weather what is to come on his own.
Draco receives the Dark Mark and is given two missions: Kill Albus Dumbledore and fix the Vanishing Cabinet in the Room of Hidden Things. Piece of cake, right?
But, before he can go back to Hogwarts, he is sent to train with his aunt, Bellatrix Lestrange at Lestrange Manor, an insane woman who considers torture an art and training a happy benefit of that. For Draco to even make it to Hogwarts he must endure what is done to him and above all survive.

Summary
In Harry's fifth year, Dumbledore makes a decision that changes everything. Snape will not be teaching him Occlumency. Instead, Draco Malfoy, brilliant, cruel and far too good at slipping past defences, is forced into the role. Their lessons are brutal, memories colliding in flashes of pain, fury and secrets neither boy means to share.
But Occlumency isn't tidy. It drags up more than nightmares of Voldermortm it reveals stolen glances, unspoken desires, and the cracks in Malfoy's polished mask. As Harry learns to fight back, he uncovers a truth far more dangerous than Voldermort's shadow, sometimes the person who knows you best is the one you're supposed to hate.
Enemies. Rivals. Prisoners of each other's minds. Somewhere in the middle of a war, something darker and more intimate takes root.

Summary
I must not tell lies… carved over and over on Harry’s hand, and damn, it really looks gruesome from third person. Snape rifles farther back, uncovering hours worth of memories of the punishment. Harry is unable to throw him off, and his shields are trying and failing to slam down on the intrusion.
After he’s seen Harry’s detentions for the past five days, Snape withdraws on his own, surprisingly gentle. Harry pants, disoriented from the forceful invasion of his mind. When Harry chances a look up, he’s dismayed to see Snape’s face is contorted in wrath. Harry says nothing, and he clenches his shaking fists to hide their trembling, staring at the floor.
or: Snape sees something interesting during their routine Occlumency lessons. (Scrapped scene from Crux)

Summary
A/N: I posted this a couple of years ago, abandoned it, and am now doing major revisions.
A sentient magical object awakens in the teenaged hands of Severus Snape, and briefly glimpses his future. The stark, lonely life he faces needs more room for hope, it thinks.

In 2014, Elinor O'Connell, an exchange student at Hogwarts, searches for answers about her mysterious parentage. When all the usual means of discovering her roots fail, how far will she be willing to go to find them?
In 1996, Severus Snape worries about placing all of his hopes for success on Harry Potter, the-boy-who-lived-to-be-a-pain-in-his-arse. He wonders if the odds might be better served by bringing Hermione Granger into the fold.
In 1996, Hermione Granger is determined to do everything she can to help Harry succeed against Voldemort, even if that means dedicating all of her free time to learning how to survive a war.

Summary
Harry Potter is unraveling.
He’s quieter now; more withdrawn, more tired. Between dreams haunted by Tom Riddle, growing isolation, and scars that never truly healed, Harry turns to the only thing that gives him control: art. But even sketching can’t keep the darkness at bay forever. The whispers never stop. The dreams grow darker. And his magic—wild, powerful, and unrefined—starts slipping through the cracks in ways even he can’t control.
Once again, Harry finds himself placed under the reluctant care of Professor Severus Snape for more Occlumency lessons and supervision. Neither of them is prepared for what follows.
Snape expects arrogance. Harry expects cruelty. What they find instead are pieces: of truth, of memory, of each other. As the boundaries between student and professor shift, long-buried trauma surfaces, secrets unravel, and the Horcrux inside Harry begins to take a toll neither of them expected.
Title changed from: someday i'm gonna be somebody people want (June 23, 2025)
