    Harry was supposed to pick- move on and be with his parents, or go back to finish the battle with Voldemort. But even Dumbledore doesn't know everything, and Harry finds that there are actually a lot more options than those two.

    Harry wants more than what he got. He wants a home. He wants a family. He wants a chance to be happy. He isn't sure he deserves all that, but he's going to try anyway. If only to spite Dumbledore and Voldemort's plans both.

    OR: Harry Potter wakes up ten years old but with all of his memories from age seventeen. He immediately begins to make Mistakes.

    Summary

    It is not true that jockeys don't feel pain. We do. We just don't talk about it, even when our skeletons are torn out; we don't feel the pain until people say something hurtful like "why aren't there any horses," and then we have to take all of that toughness and try not to break down and sob, because we are bastards and bastards don't cry, because if bastards start crying even a little bit then they just end up laying on the floor drinking their full bodyweight in brandy, empty, pitied; not having any horses at all, the horseless men of the horseless world.

    Instead I said, "because when I put the menaces on people it works strangely well, because I'm so much smaller than them, and it makes them go, oh, look, he's so little and menacing, Gladys, give him a biscuit."

    Then I thought about it some more and added, "And then I keep the biscuit."

    Summary

    It takes him seven years, but Severus does eventually learn to stop being alone. All of them do.

    Slytherin would suit you best, I think. You have great ambition. The people you meet there might help you achieve it. Nothing could stand in your way.

    I want to be with my friend.

    Loyalty is a Hufflepuff trait. If you went there, she would not be so far away as all that.

    I want to be with my friend.

    Well, you are a stubborn one. In that case, it had better be,

    “Gryffindor!”
