Summary
Harry Potter has always been different, and his strange connection to plants marks him as the freak his Aunt and Uncle always claimed he was. The wizarding world was supposed to be an escape, but even there, he must hide the truth of his abilities. His magic doesn’t fit the rules, and secrets have a way of growing wild.
(If only there was someone who understood...)
A re-telling of the books in which Harry has more than one power the Dark Lord knows not.- Language:

Summary
Tom Riddle doesn’t believe in love at first sight—but he does believe in obsession.
He’s been fixated on Harry Potter since he first saw him play: dark hair curling over the tips of his ears, violin tucked neatly under his chin.
In the competitive world of the Conservatory, their final year brings them an unexpected twist. What happens when Harry gets too close to uncovering the depth of Tom’s affection?
(Harry believes they’re rivals.
Tom knows the truth is far worse than that.)

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Snake by gonzoclock
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
13 Jan 2023
Tags
Summary
What I wanted to write was a quick one-shot that explored the idea of Harry being the biological son of Voldemort, only Voldemort doesn't know he has a son and is also as evil as ever. Meanwhile, Harry is just a charismatic kid with a snake and ridiculously powerful magic.
It turned into a series rewrite.
Here's book one, I guess.
Features Harry Potter trying to keep his friends from doing crimes, a tired Remus Lupin spontaneously adopting a traumatized child with absurd magical capabilities, Severus Snape doing the bare minimum which is still somehow more than what Dumbledore is capable of, and Harry's friends' growing exasperation with Harry's terrible decision-making skills.

Summary
Some truths refuse to stay buried.
***
What starts as a simple “Harry is a Malfoy” twist explodes into the story of Castor Malfoy—a creature-loving, rule-defying wizard making waves in the Triwizard Tournament and beyond. With a family he’s only just met, friends both human and not, a stack of jobs, and more secrets than he knows what to do with, Castor’s life is anything but ordinary. But in a world where lies travel faster than the truth and even a Dark Lord can’t decide whether to fear him or use him, one thing is certain: history will remember both his names.
***
Mostly canon until the Goblet of Fire, aside from the whole kidnapping thing.

Summary
It took two weeks for the new pope to reinstate Janusz Wožniak as his chief of staff. In fact, Sister Agnes had to tell him about it ahead of time - hoping, presumably, that if he knew his position was safe maybe he'd stop sweating about it so much.

Summary
Before his third year of Hogwarts has even begun, Harry faces three whole weeks of unsupervised time in Diagon Alley. In that time he takes a trip to Gringotts - and that changes everything.
Burdened with the knowledge that Dumbledore has been blocking his family magic, and manipulating far more than he ever thought possible, Harry doesn't know who he can trust; but he knows he can't keep going that way. There's a whole world of lore and politics and history to catch up on, and the more he learns, the more Harry realises his true place in the world, and how much is being kept hidden from him. All the while, Dumbledore's twinkling eyes are constantly watching, and Harry can't let on how much he knows.
With help from unexpected places, Harry starts on a journey to end the war, and reshape the wizarding world. With how much he looks like James Potter, people have forgotten one important thing about him - he is Lily Evans' son, and she was one hell of a witch.

Summary
After dying in the forbidden forest at Voldemort's hand--after going to the Kings Cross of his afterlife--Harry is returned to his 11-year-old self with no memories of his life before, just a vague sense of doom and weird knowledge of the wizarding world (and its inhabitants) that he can't quite explain. With only his ever-present sense of deja-vu to guide him into making better choices than last time, Harry embarks on a journey to save the wizarding world once again, and this time save himself as well.
