    Summary

    This is a post-war fanfiction for Harry Potter where, just after the battle, there was another prophecy which is that when the Dark Lord is defeated, the closest ones to the boy who lost his life for him come back, so on the same day as he finishes Voldemort. And when he was standing on the bridge and breaking the elder wand, everyone, Fred, Hedwig, Dobby, Snape, James, Lily, Charles, Dorea, Sirius, Remus, and Tonks, Cedric came back, all except Dumbledore, because he chose his death, but they were in the place where they died, and then, realising that they were alive.

    Summary

    Summer after the traumatic end of the Triwizard Tournament, instead of Harry Potter getting visions of the latest evil plot from the Dark Lord, it is Voldemort who gets visions of The-Boy-Who-Lived’s childhood.

    And they’re not pleasant.


    When Newt accepted to become one of Harry Potter's secret guard as a favor to Albus Dumbledore, he hadn't anticipated being faced with a choice concerning the welfare and safety of a child: obey Albus Dumbledore's orders or stay at Voldemort's side to protect Harry.

    Though difficult, the right choice was clear.

    Summary

    Euphemia and Fleamont Potter have spent their lives fighting—first for the world, and then for their son. From the moment James is born, they know they cannot protect him in the ways they wish. So Euphemia turns to the past, uncovering the truth of what it means to be a Potter: not wealth or invention, but something older. Something inherited. Magic tied, through the Peverell line, to a power that predates the Ministry itself. The Lineage Court—ancient, forgotten, and governing the balance of magic between noble houses. When Sirius Black places the Black House—its legacy and magic—into the hands of Harry, he unknowingly names him heir to more than one house. And power like that does not go unseen. As James and Lily go into hiding, Euphemia reaches her breaking point. With Fleamont and Sirius as witnesses, she calls upon the Court, invoking magic older than the war itself. But ancient magic does not answer quickly. And it does not answer kindly. By the time it responds, James and Lily are dead. And when Rubeus Hagrid comes for the orphaned child, Harry Potter is already gone. Because the Court has passed judgment. And the last heir of House Potter has been taken home.

    Summary

    Sirius wailed, tears falling onto James’ cold skin as he held him. The only thing that made him pause was the shrill cry of a baby inside the room next door. Sirius propped James up against the wall, touched his face one more time, and swiftly ducked into the room.

    Lily was dead. Harry was not.
    ...
    Or, a cannon-adjacent fic where Sirius, Severus, and Remus try to get over their differences to protect Harry from his only living family. They move in next door and try to play a nice group of muggle roommates. Tensions rise; will they fight to the death, or will past hatred turn into something else? I don't know yet, so we'll see where it goes!

    Summary

    Delilah Garcia didn't exactly plan on a second life. But here she is — settled into a quiet little house on Privet Drive, living something that almost feels like it could be hers.

    Almost.

    Because she knows this street. She knows what's hiding behind the perfectly trimmed hedges next door. She knows who that small, quiet boy is and everything he's going to have to go through before it's all over.

    She's not going to get involved. That's the plan. Keep her head down, keep her distance, and remind herself that knowing something isn't the same as changing it.

    Except Harry Potter isn't just a story anymore.

    He's literally next door.

    And Delilah has never really been the type to look the other way.

    Summary

    After Harry kills the basilisk and escaped the chamber, it's time to head home. The last place on earth he wants to be. After being told "No, you can't go anywhere else and MUST return home" time and time again, he gives up and accepts his fate, hoping to live to see the castle again in two months, after all, what could really happen in the 65 days between then and now?

    OR

    After being forced to go home for the summer, Harry sees a big black dog and writes a letter to his friends about it, so they know he got home and is... questionably safe, as they asked him to. Snape intercepts his mail and calls for an emergency meeting with the Headmaster and his Head of House as he suspects Black has already found Harry and they discuss the necessary further steps to keep him safe. Harry's summer is about to get flipped upside down and inside out in a way he would never have expected or anticipated. And oh man, is he unhappy about it.

    Ten years, he had left Harry alone.

    Summary

    Four year old Harry Potter’s life at the Dursleys is not just unhappy- it is torture. Uncle Vernon’s cruelty has grown at the same rate as Harry, from the moment he arrived at Privet Drive as a baby, til now, where he is living no better than a beaten, neglected house elf. After one particularly brutal incident, Harrys magic tries to save him. A Patronus charm is cast, unbeknownst to the boy, and it may be the last chance he has.

    The message finds its way to one very reluctant recipient- a moody, sharp-tongued Potions Master, who realises with sinking certainty, that he has been given a task he could never have forseen. Severus Snape is forced into a seemingly impossible position: pulling a broken child out of an abusive home, outmanoeuvring Dumbledore’s dangerous plans, and confronting ghosts he has spent a lifetime burying- all whilst learning how to care for the small troubled boy, who cannot help but steal his heart.

    Summary

    The Dursleys have had enough and decided well, since Harry is now a teenager surely he can work for his own keep and sent him off to get a job as they will no longer be providing him with his needs (not like they did that anyway) and surely he can start helping pay the bills. Harry fortunately found a job that is nearby, a grocery store. As Harry settles in on this new routine he gets used it until one day on the checkout line he runs into the last person he wants to see.

    "P-professor Snape?"

    "Potter!"

    For Harry it appears to be that things seem to be getting worse but finds that perhaps this is the start of something good.
