    Summary

    What if Harry was smarter? What if he already understood exactly what would happen if Voldemort regained a body? What if some people became truly good friends?

    Harry Potter had always known his first mission was to survive the Dursleys and his second was to build a better life once he turned eighteen. That never changed, even when the forgotten magic and knowledge returned to him.

    Summary

    Harry Potter never stood a chance. Severus Snape was straight as a wand, still pining after Lily, and completely unattainable. That was the story - until Death tried to help.

    Now, Harry wakes in another universe… as Hades Potter, twin brother to the so-called Savior. His parents are alive, the Marauders are just as insufferable, and the other Harry is a pompous show-off possibly dating Ginny Weasley. But Hades? He has one mission: win over this world’s Severus Snape.

    Armed with memories from a life of war, a much darker kind of magic, and a dangerous secret prophecy, Hades navigates a fractured Hogwarts, makes unlikely friends, and unearths a future he never dared to imagine - if he can survive long enough to claim it.

    Summary

    Severus Snape wants absolutely nothing to do with the new Muggle Studies professor at Hogwarts. She's bubbly, and gentle, and kind. All of things he hates the most.

    But when she accidentally leaves a journal in the staff room full of salacious ideas for what appear to be for a book she's writing, he suddenly finds himself intrigued.

    Severus returns it to her, but not after discovering that she's been suffering from writer's block. And for some unfathomable reason, he just can't seem to halt the offer that comes out of his mouth. To help her get past it.

    Summary

    ***I encourage those who usually don't read teachers/students to give this a chance. There are no instances in which there are taboo power dynamics, at least of a sexual nature. Heed the slow burn quite literally. A smoldering if you will.

    After catching Y/N breaking the rules, Severus Snape sees the layers of the quiet student's personality peel before his eyes. The more he sees, the more intrigued he becomes as he indulges in the growing connection that exposes him to a world he thought he once knew and the peace he'd always been yearning for.

    ---

    Takes place in the 90's like the movies (I'd like to think 1996 or 1997), but some character time-canon things are tweaked, so it's not strictly canon-compliant (Draco is not at Hogwarts yet/Weasley twins are in their third year). I write her being 20-21 in mind, but feel free to self-insert a different age. Reader is a 7th-year student who transferred in her 5th year. Snape being Draco's godfather fanon trope included. Malfoy family is a little OOC (not blood supremacists.)

    Summary

    Harry Potter really didn’t plan on living past his fated confrontation with Lord Voldemort. When the latent basilisk venom and phoenix tears in his blood started making dramatic changes to his body, he wasn’t that concerned. It’s not like he was going to live long enough for it to be a problem anyway.

    Even if he had planned to live past the final battle, then he could never have guessed the struggle awaiting him on the other side, or that he’d become a magnet for those with nowhere else to go like the snarky house elf, the grumpy phoenix, the injured vampire, or the stray werewolf that showed up on their doorstep…oh, and the egg. You can’t forget the egg; that’s the most important, more than anyone or anything else on the planet. Harry will do whatever it takes…literally whatever, even light the fire and watch the world burn, all for the sake of the egg.
