    Summary

    Voldemort is back. Dumbledore is bearing down. And Harry? Well, he wants nothing to do with it. He's smarter than he lets on and ambitious to boot-- just like the Hat saw back in first year-- so he plays the waiting game, letting time tick away until he's able to get away from it all. But everything's about to change-- for everyone.

    Alternatively titled Harry Potter and the Night Dumbledore's Dreams Died a Swift Death.

    Summary

    Snape does not know how to teach, always shouting rather than guiding his students to the correct answers, so why would he know how to teach Occlumency? Harry's mind is far more fragile than he knows, and tearing into it rips him open to bleed.

    Voldemort feels one of his horcruxes, fluttering in death throes, and acts.

    Summary

    ‘We hoped you might know his true name.’
    Harry glanced over at the body again. He briefly pictured himself going over to it, folding back the sheet to reveal the handsome human face of Tom Riddle as he remembered him from the Pensive sessions and the confrontation with the Diary, except grey-haired and wrinkled the same as other seventy-one-year-olds.
    A person no one ever loved.
    Once again, Harry pitied Tom Riddle.

    ‘Give it here.’ He said, holding his hand out for the clipboard and quill. The Ministry man handed it over without question and Harry wrote:

    Tom Marvolo Riddle, 31.12.1926  Next of Kin: Harry James Potter

    Summary

    Harry Potter has just escaped the clutches of Lord Voldemort. The Wizarding World is ecstatic, Harry is more famous than ever (much to Snape’s annoyance), and Draco Malfoy can finally catch a break.

    Things would be back to normal, if it wasn’t for Harry’s continued dreams with a certain Tom Riddle. A young and handsome man who’s more connected to Voldemort than Harry ever imagined. Tom Riddle is a fantasy that’s far more alluring than Harry would like to admit.

    What happens when Voldemort tries to convince Harry to return to his side willingly? What happens when Harry tries to find some good in Tom Riddle and change him for the better? Who will give in first? Who will change forever? Surely, the Wizarding World will never be the same.

    Summary

    As soon as Voldemort apparated away, Harry could tell. Nagini could too, he knew it in how she began to coil more firmly around his body.

    Remus seemed to steel himself. “Harry, Harry now is our chance, we can-”

    Nagini let out a loud hiss, neck arching into a powerful S-shape as she anchored herself on Harry, and he winced. She was heavy, and her coils were tight. He knew she meant to be protective, but… “Nagini, you’re hurting me,” He told her softly, lifting his hand that wasn’t trapped beneath the heavy snake to run down her back. “I’m not going to go with him, but please-”

    He couldn’t even look at Remus, terrified that the man would have a disgusted expression on his face, shock and horror evolving into hate - he’d seen it hundreds of times before.

    (Harry works on a revolution. Voldemort patches his broken heart.)

    Summary

    He wondered if the Order were watching him, like they had been last year. No letters had arrived, though his bedroom window stood open as far as it could be against the bars and had since the first night. If they were watching him they knew everything.

    Or maybe they had gone to Dumbledore and the man had told them that it was all their imagination and that he was perfectly happy here.
     
    Lupin. The Weasleys. None of them had taken the time to speak to him on the platform, just to stand around looking out-of-place while Moody threatened his uncle with Harry cringing under the man’s ever-angrier eyes.

    Did any of them even care about Harry? Just Harry, not their precious prophesied saviour?
     
    Who knew, really.
     
    Harry stared up at the ceiling and thought about how he was sorry about leaving Hedwig, but nobody else, not really.
     
    They had left him first.

    (The Dursleys kill Harry. Voldemort puts him back together.)

    Summary

    50 years ago, Tom Riddle’s soul was sealed into a diary, helplessly trapped within its pages. For decades, he sought to escape this prison of his own design.

    So when a boy named Harry Potter begins writing to him, Tom seizes the opportunity to achieve his freedom. Harry is shockingly easy to possess, after all. Yet for some reason, Harry can retain consciousness while possessed, and worse, he can take control back. Being possessed by Tom doesn’t even seem to do anything to drain his vitality.

    If Tom didn’t know better, he’d say that Harry’s soul was somehow used to sharing a body with Tom’s own. But that was impossible, wasn’t it?

    Summary

    When Harry Potter fights the basilisk, it seems to think it knows him – that he is another Heir of Slytherin. Also that he's a girl, for some reason. Surely it's mistaken? Well...

    Harry discovers, through a series of letters from his parents, that in fact they're not his parents at all. That he isn't Harry Potter. That, during the war, James and Lily Potter were assigned to kill the infant daughter of Lord Voldemort and Bellatrix Lestrange, and kidnapped her instead. It is unquestionably a relief as Carina Gaunt steps back into the body she was always meant to have. But it also puts her on even more of a high-wire act than her life already was: hiding her secret, finding her godfather/cousin before the dementors do, and making sure that she doesn't get killed – by her father, or by Albus Dumbledore.

    Summary

    Tom can't say that his life as Hogwarts's Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts is perfect, but he's content with it. Then Albus makes a fairly innocuous request of him- to investigate a student who is sneaking off to the Forbidden Forest- and Tom's whole universe changes.

    Summary

    Albus Dumbledore was a manipulative old coot and Harry Potter is just sad he didn't realise it sooner, so he could have hung the man by his beard himself.
    With the Daily Prophet slandering Harry's name once again - calling him the next Dark Lord of all things! - Harry sets out to find a new purpose for his life. He no longer wishes to be an auror and he wishes to go somewhere else, to a place where no one knows the name 'Harry Potter.' He no longer sees himself with Ginny - having messy, red-haired children. Instead, Harry finds himself a new purpose within his old purpose and sets off to 1944. Unfortunately, he may have gotten the timing a little off. No biggie! He'll make new plans as he goes along. Hopefully he keeps his amazing luck to get him out of bad situations!
