    Summary

    "Him, of all people? Everybody else in the Circus seemingly hated him. He probably wouldn't understand, either. He would probably just find some way to make fun of her. Tell her to stop being stupid, to suck it up like the rest of them, and to go back to her room. It would be a bad idea, Pomni told herself."

    Pomni is frustrated to tears and tired (quite literally) of the sleepless nights after her recent traumatizing entrance into the Circus. In her desperation, she goes searching for comfort, from the one and only person that none of the others would have ever searched for it from.

    Summary

    Jax feels empty and overwhelmed all at the same time after recent events. So he does what he knows best; push it down and out to everyone else. What he didn't expect was for that to backfire in a near deadly way.

    Alternatively,

    It takes almost abstracting and pushing everyone away for Jax to realize that something needs to change.

    Summary

    When he arrives at Hogwarts, Harry Potter is not at all the boy everyone wants him to be. Harry does not speak, he does not make eye contact, he does not cast spells, he makes no magic at all. Not until he explodes in a hurricane of Dark magic, nearly leveling the entire Forbidden Forest with his uncontrollable fury.

    Dumbledore and the professors of Hogwarts are horrified.

    As the parasitic magic continues to consume the shy and skittish Boy Who Lived, it becomes up to his reluctant Head of House, Severus Snape, to determine exactly what’s wrong with the boy he loathes so very much — before it is too late.

    Summary

    The moment the Death Curse struck Harry Potter's forehead and carved a scar into the toddler's skin, something else happened. In that moment, when the line between life and death blurred and time had no name, little Harry saw something he was perhaps never meant to see. He saw his former life. And Salazar Slytherin awoke.

    Summary

    It started with a rat.

    A rat scurrying through the garden, eating Aunt Petunia's prized roses. He did it without thinking, bringing the shovel in his hand to cut the creature clean in half.

    Petunia had screamed.
    Dudley threw up.
    Vernon had dragged him inside before beating him black and blue.

    And Harry...Harry discovered something rather unnerving about himself.

    Because this little rat had been powerless against him. For the first time in his short life, Harry Potter had gained power.
    He felt addicted.

    It started with a rat, and ended with No.4 Privet Drive burning to the ground.
