    Summary

    In a world where Albus Dumbledore dies too soon, a hungry, dark and brilliant Tom Riddle quickly rises to power. There are no Death Eaters—only the Minister of Magic and his network of favours, debts, and silent threats that keep the world obedient.

    Harry Potter grows up in obscurity, with a power he knows not: the ability to stabilize chaos, anchor unstable spells and calm magic. He believes he’s merely good under pressure, and the world believes him even less. But when a high-risk Ministry ritual goes wrong, Harry is marked, and magic itself begins to listen.

    (Or: Tom Riddle doesn’t destroy the world, and Harry Potter doesn’t save it. And yet, some magic refuses to stay contained.)

    Summary

    The Potter family is not known for stopping the war with sacrifice. In this world, the war ended in a treaty with concessions on both sides, and the Potters raised their children in a time of unprecedented peace. Their eldest child is not known for facing down a dark lord, in fact, not much is known about him at all.

    Or: Harry is born unable to speak anything other than parseltongue.

    Summary

    Following the shopping trip to Diagon Alley, after Hagrid returned him to his relatives' home, Harry is faced with a moment of clarity.

    He can leave. There's finally somewhere to go where his family can't touch him.

    Harry makes the journey back to Diagon Alley alone and changes (without even knowing it) the course of the rest of his life. Unfortunately, his life has already been planned out for him beyond what he could have imagined.... Some people might not be happy that he's messing that up.

    Summary

    Harry Potter grew up in a house surrounded by magic hating muggles. There was no love, no care. Just chores and beatings and starving. It's no surprise that all of this meant that Harry wasn't the 'golden boy' that everyone seemed to believe he was supposed to be.

    Armed with knowledge that he shouldn't have and powers he shouldn't have such control over, Harry is going to take the wizarding world by storm.

    Beware the Rise of the Dark.

    Summary

    After the war, Harry became the Master of Death, and also very, very pissed off at the world.

    For one, Dumbledore manipulated him his entire life.

    For two, Dumbledore also manipulated Tom Riddle and created Voldemort all in his manic need to rid the world of dark magic.

    Harry tried to live a happy life for a while, but with being stuck at seventeen, he ended up having to watch as his friends and family grew old and died.

    After a long time, Harry grew numb, and after many, many years and deaths later, Death made an offer to Harry. If he could change things, would he?

    Harry decides that yes, he would. And so, in the year 1941, Hieronymus “Harry” Peverell shows up to start his fourth year at Hogwarts.

    Summary

    The boy's breathing had begun to slow. Finally. Tom's lips twitched and his eyes narrowed maliciously as he crept forward, allowing the charms wrapped around him to dissipate. Anticipation bubbled in his stomach as he imagined fear and shock in those green eyes.

    Eyes that snapped open the instant Tom's hand touched the frame of the hospital bed.

    Eyes that burned gold.

    OR...

    Harry's an enigma and Tom? Well, Tom has always enjoyed a good riddle.

    Summary

    🌜 this is a hard tomarry yall🌛

    After his name comes out of the Goblet of Fire (really?) and Ron once again turns his back on him, Harry snaps.

    He’s had enough of pretending to be the perfect Light Saviour, Dumbledore’s puppet, while it brought him nothing but grief - he will no longer allow anyone to control him. He lets the real bloodthirsty Harry out to play.

     

    How will everyone deal with the new, powerful and dark Harry Potter?

    What will Dumbledore do to gain control of his puppet again?

    Will Voldemort agree to an alliance or continue hunting him down? Especially as he learns of the very close bond his Diary Horcrux and Harry have formed?

     

    ⚡Basically, Harry turns tables, befriends slytherins, slowly but surely climbs to power, while Dumbledore grasps at straws, and is a sexually confused, oblivious idiot. Thank Merlin Tom is there to fix that.⚡

    Summary

    They called it the Maw. A ring of blood and ruin. A place for monsters. A home for children who had none.

    Harry Potter never made it to Hogwarts.

    Brought unconscious to the dark alleys of Knockturn, he should’ve died— cold, angry, and forgotten. Instead, he carved out a place for himself with bloodied hands and stolen wands. He built an empire from an abandoned factory, guarded by outcasts and orphans, where creatures fight for food and every day is a struggle. He’s not a boy anymore. Not a hero. Not a victim. He’s a thunderstorm.

    Then, his name comes out of the Goblet of Fire— a name no one should know— he’s dragged back into the world that left him to starve. The world of robes and rules, where boys live in castles and forget the rest exist. He’s not welcome there. He doesn't want to be.

    And yet, in the middle of all this, stands Lord Voldemort— beautiful, terrifyingly human, and wearing a smile like a knife. He offers Harry an alliance. Harry knows better. But monsters recognize each other, don’t they?

    And this time, Harry Potter isn’t here to play by the rules.

    He’s here to burn the house down.

    Summary

    After a disastrous second year, Harry decides that he no longer wishes to attend Hogwarts. He's been vilified for being a parselmouth, and Dumbledore doesn't seem particularly concerned about the students' safety - and that's not to mention Harry almost dying at the hands (or teeth!) of a basilisk. With neither Hogwarts nor Privet Drive as a safe haven, Harry takes off and disappears. What happens when the Golden Boy is finally found - and he's no longer a naïve, impressionable twelve-year-old seeking love and approval from others?

    Summary

    Harry Potter is Voldemort’s horcrux. This doesn’t really impact his life until the first time he meets Voldemort face-to-face. Well, face-to-back-of-Quirrell’s-head-face.

    Harry learns he can burn Quirrell’s skin with his bare hands. He knows this is his only opportunity to both survive and save the Philosopher’s Stone. What he doesn’t realise is that by willingly placing his hands on Voldemort’s wraith’s host, he opens himself up to possession.

    It isn’t Voldemort’s first choice to possess his fated vanquisher while still weak, but a key magical principle is “like calls to like”. He will do whatever it takes to get his body back… and own Harry Potter afterwards.

    What happens during Harry’s school years while unknowingly pulling Voldemort along as a passenger?

    Summary

    “Not Harry, not Harry, please not Harry!”
    “Stand aside, you silly girl… stand aside, now”.
    And Lily Potter stepped aside.
    Voldemort stared at her.
    “... Is this some sort of trick?” he asked softly.
    “No". Her voice was flat, lifeless. “You already killed James... If you let me live, then you can have Harry”.
    Voldemort’s lip curled - not in amusement, but disgust. His own mother had died for him. Pathetic, yes, sentimental and foolish - but she had chosen to die so that he could live. Lily Potter wasn’t even choosing to care. Surely the child of prophecy deserved a better mother than this! Even he could give the boy to a better family to be raised right!
    Voldemort slowly reached down and picked up the child.
    He was still staring at him. He was still oddly silent. His eyes were still the colour of the Killing curse and brimming with power.
    Yes, Voldemort decided, that was exactly what he’d do.
    "You belong to me now" he whispered.
    And with a crack like thunder, he turned on the spot, vanishing into the night.

    Or, the one where Harry Potter is raised by the Lestranges and it goes more or less how you would expect.

    Summary

    There is nothing to chase in death, nothing to fear either. It will come, as it always has, as it always will. What makes it beautiful is the life that precedes it—the laughter, the ache, the fragile, fleeting pulse.

    And Harry believes that is quite pretty.

    ...

    Necromancy removes that.

    or

    Necromancer Harry has been dealt the worst hand of cards, as fate is seemingly intent on spitting on his life until the very end. Upon meeting Minister Tom Riddle, the man promptly lights the deck on fire and buys Harry an entirely new set. By allowing Harry to draw a new hand, Tom finds his own cards changing as well.

    Summary

    He didn't want to be Harry Potter anymore.

    There was nothing left for him in the wizarding world so he was starting over.

    Harry Peverell, a 17-year-old muggle with too much time on his hands, moves to the only place where he might still have family.

    Forks, Washington, seems like the perfect place to start over and carve out a new place for himself but he's not the only immortal teenager in town and ignoring the problem doesn't seem to be making it go away.

    He didn't need to get involved with every supernatural mystery, and really, was it any of his business if his new cousin's eyes glowed amber sometimes? It certainly wasn't any of his business that a coven of vampires were pretending to be teenagers at his school.

    Harry is determined to ignore what's happening and instead focus on his hatred of Charles Dickens, Chemistry homework and Mike Newton.

    But the supernatural element of his new high school can't seem to leave him alone and Harry has always been really bad at staying out of things.
