Summary
While on the hunt for Horcruxes, a chance encounter with Death Eaters ends with Harry being sent back in time to 1942 and de-aged to five years old. The horcrux inside of him leads Headmaster Dippet to the absurd conclusion that Harry must be Tom Riddle’s son from the future. Dippet believes it is best for model student Tom to take care of Harry until they find a way to send him back to his time.
Tom is not happy with this arrangement at first.

Summary
While on patrol, Jason Todd finds a tiny, shivering puppy behind a dumpster. He can’t just leave it there. Bruce shouldn’t be the only one who can take in strays.
Tim Drake did not expect to be transformed into a dog while stalking Batman and Robin. He certainly didn’t expect Robin to take him home. Tim really should tell them he’s not actually a dog but they keep cuddling him and it’s not like anyone will notice he’s gone.

Summary
Welcome back to Harry and Tim Drake's second year at Hogwarts.
It has been nearly two years since Harry Potter successfully escaped the Dursleys and found himself in Gotham. Since then he's faced a Cerberus, saved a unicorn and faced his parents murderer who, for some reason, didn't seem that interested in killing him.
Harry thought his life couldn't get any crazier but nothing could prepare him for a baby ninja, a disembodied voice in the castle walls and an escaped convict who is apparently very interested in killing him. Tim is going to need a lot of coffee to get through this year.

Summary
Argus always wondered why Albus Dumbledore had ever hired him. He couldn’t do magic, he couldn’t stand children and more than anything else he hated mess.
