Summary
Latin; a dead language with no practical applications except perhaps the deciphering of old texts and as a particularly quaint party trick.
Thankfully, as Harry finds out, Latin is not as dead as he was first taught when he decided to learn the language. It wouldn't have mattered anyway, of course; he loved Latin, and would have been proud to know it even had it been as useless as it was pretty. But in the world of Wizards, the world of Magic, Harry realizes his rare talent with words is particularly valuable, and allows him to use magic that no one's ever heard of, that no one's ever seen. But as time goes on, and he becomes more and more entangled in the webs spun by those around him, he starts to realize just how deep the magical rabbit hole goes and how dangerous power like his can be.
All Harry had ever wanted was for the world to make sense.

Harry Evans and the Incompetence of Wizards by hey_hunny

Summary
After a bit of a disastrous introduction to the Wizarding World, Harry Evans is determined that if he is made to stay in a world which hates him, he will find a way to forge a place for himself in it. If that place is under the thumb of one Albus Dumbledore or, far above, out of reach of any other wizard, is still to be seen.
He's only just turned twelve after all and there are still layers of mystery to be unravelled: Where have the Dursley's disappeared to? What are Lady Magic's intentions in showing him these visions? The curse of Soliwo and his moniker as Thanatos' son also weigh on poor Harry Evans' narrow shoulders as he re-enters Hogwarts with a plan to build a strong position to leverage against his many opponents.
For once, his plans are more successful than he could have hoped. His success leads him down a path which only one other Hogwarts student has ever traversed and another which would be unthinkable to any wizard with common sense. But what would common sense do for a young wizard with aspirations to become an untouchable pinnacle of magic?

Summary
Back in the Dursley’s house, Harry learned not to ask questions. But what it he didn’t learn that lesson?
Harry Potter was a curious boy. Often that curiosity led to experiments that blew up. Occasionally, that curiosity led to health, wealth and riches. Yet sometimes, it led to a much darker place…

Summary
Harry was nervous as he got off the Gringotts cart with a bag full of gold. He had a million questions and no one to ask them of- Hagrid had asked him not to, after all.
But Hagrid said he was going to go for a pick-me-up. Maybe, just maybe, there would be someone to ask his questions while he got his robes.OR
That time Malfoy wasn't in Madam Malkin's, and it made all the difference.
