    Summary

    A world with no Dursleys was a world Harry Potter was bound and determined to stay in. To do that, Harry Potter wanted to be great. To have every opportunity the wizarding world could offer. So, he used the Restricted Section. He learned. He studied with Hermione, made friends, and did his best to have a normal, happy childhood. Anything so he would never have to go back.

    But when a troll was released his first year, when he was betrayed in the Chamber of Secrets by Lockhart, and when every adult in his life failed him, that was when Harry and his friends knew the adults couldn't be trusted. They'd been burned one too many times. Then, when Voldemort returned, they had no reason to believe that would change. Harry and his friends would survive.

    History was filled with great wizards of distinct moral alignment: Voldemort, Grindelwald, Herpo the Foul; even Merlin walked a dubious line. No one with purely good intentions would expand their power so outrageously. Harry hoped he could be the first. Because he knew if he was going to stop Voldemort and protect his friends, he needed to inherit that legacy of power.

    Harry Potter was hungry for control.

    Summary

    After witnessing Harry’s return with Cedric’s dead body at the end of the Triwizard Tournament, Draco begins to question his father’s ambitions and beliefs. His mother reveals her, and, therefore, his non-human heritage soon afterward, and they realize they must go into hiding or suffer as all non-humans will when Voldemort comes into power.

    They go to the only person they think might be able to help and also be too noble to use their situation against them:

    Harry Potter - whose mother may have had more in common with Narcissa Malfoy than anyone expects.

    Summary

    With everything having gone completely off the rails (explosively, irreversibly, and quite literally), the Order of the Phoenix are busy picking up the pieces and fighting the war the Ministry still insists isn't actually a war.

    Meanwhile, Draco Malfoy has his own far more pressing concerns:

    * Where are the remaining Horcruxes hiding?
    * Who’s auditioning to replace him as Riddle's unwilling accomplice?
    * When, exactly, can he see Harry (his boyfriend, thanks for asking!!!) again without it being a high-stakes ordeal?
    * Why is he being harassed by a kooky old time wizard?

    And the dreams about flying? The ludicrously odd things that keep happening? Well, that's completely normal for magical puberty...

    Probably.

    Summary

    While the tiered system within the magical world isn’t perfect, it has thankfully outgrown the power dynamics present within its structure.

    Harry Potter hoped when he presented that he would be unremarkable. That he wouldn’t have to deal with the world seeing him as ‘special’ anymore. He just wanted to be himself. He just wanted to be left alone. He wanted to be happy without worrying for others.

    But of course, nothing comes easy for Harry Potter.

    Summary

    Harry has a horcrux in his scar. Remus has a wolf in his head. Sirius still lives with the nightmares of Azkaban. And Regulus carries the guilt over his time with the Death Eaters.

    As the inevitable war draws closer, the residents of Grimmauld Place all face difficult questions. Can they trust their allies? Will they be able to destroy the horcruxes? And most importantly, how deep will they sink into the magic of the mind in order to heal their wounds and win the war?

     

    (This is the sequel story to “More than Magic” and will probably be difficult to follow if you haven’t read the original story.)
