Summary
What if Harry had been rescued from the Dursleys? What if he grew up loved and knowing about magic? What if his neighbor was Hermione? What if Lily Potter had a best friend who kept her promise to Lily to raise her son? This is what could have been.
Summary is vague, but this is an AU canon rewrite wherein Harry was raised by Amelia Bones, Lily's best friend. There are still large canon elements, but they occur differently based on the new environment. This is part of a larger series that spans from the 1970 to 1997 and covers the Marauder Era (also AU) to the end of the war. Characters may seem OOC, but that is because this is an AU. Darker themes will be present.

Summary
What would happen if Harry Potter decided not to be the hero everyone expects him to be?
Enter a world where magic isn't just about casting spells, but an ancient culture of etiquette, votes in the Wizengamot and forgotten traditions. Harry Potter returns at the age of eleven with the awareness of an adult and a clear plan: to live the life he has always wanted and dismantle the stagnation of the wizarding world in the process.
No Gryffindor. No blind rivalry with Slytherin. Harry creates a “Study Group” that is actually an elite academy: from Sue Li's duelling sports to Daphne Greengrass's politics lessons, to the rediscovery of Neville's talent. Between a football match with the Slytherins and a critical analysis of Dumbledore's decisions, Harry is building the future. But time is running out, and Voldemort's shadow is not the only danger to watch out for.

Summary
When Harry Potter is left on his aunt and uncle’s doorstep as an infant, Albus Dumbledore assumes fate will follow its usual course.
But years pass, and something quietly rewrites the recipe of Harry’s life. Instead of neglect and bitterness, the Dursley household fills with the rhythms of kitchens, the hum of simmering pots, and the influence of chefs, foodies, and magical epicures—including the formidable Aunt Marge, a renowned culinary witch. Harry grows up with guidance, curiosity, and an unexpected appreciation for both magic and flavor.
Then, at eleven, a different kind of letter arrives.
Not Hogwarts.
Hearthstone—the prestigious culinary academy for young witches and wizards.
There, magic isn’t only cast—it’s crafted. In Hearthstone’s kitchens, spells are measured in pinches and pours, in timing and intuition. A flick of the wand can sear, stir, or transform; a well-balanced dish can enchant far more than taste alone.
And somewhere, far away, the wizard who thought he had the story all figured out begins to realize…
This particular dish didn’t follow his recipe at all.

Summary
When Neville Longbottom and Astoria Greengrass are killed in an explosion caused by a terrorist Death Eater cell, 10 years after the Hogwarts Battle, their child, Leo Longbottom, is orphaned.
Hermione Granger, grieving, overworked and still traumatized from the war, takes her godmother role seriously; while she never saw herself as a mother, she will do everything to keep Leo safe and loved.
When Neville's and Astoria's will reveals that Hermione is not Leo's sole legal guardian, Hermione is shocked to learn that Draco Malfoy, Astoria's ex-husband, is Leo's godfather, and that Neville and Astoria wanted them, together, to be Leo's joint guardians.
Hermione hasn't even seen Draco since his Azkaban trial, and the memory of the war lingers on her opinion of Draco; meanwhile, Draco still thinks Hermione a swot, although he can't help but notice just how much she's changed since their Hogwarts rivalry.
Both are very well aware that -- despite what Neville and Astoria claimed -- Gryffindor and Slytherin, Gold and Silver, and Light and Dark, don't mix, and certainly don't co-parent.
But, well, they'll do anything for Leo, including move to Malfoy Manor and pretend to be a family.
