Arcturus Black III says the wrong thing (or maybe the right thing) to his house-elf, and this changes the future of his family and the Wizarding World.Bookmarked by avidreader

Once more with feeling by Mei (Ima1)
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling, Marvel Cinematic Universe

Summary
Harry can't say he was exactly thrilled about being thrust into a new world and leaving everything behind, but slowly, sometimes quite so, he carves out his place and makes a new life for himself. That said life somehow includes his long-lost godfather, a team of superheroes, a Norse god for a best friend, and a magical shop that caters to Muggles was not what he was expecting. That he ends up falling in love and getting a new family out of it was even less expected.
He thinks it all might end up being worth it.

Summary
Harry just wants to have a quiet life and get along with everyone. He wants to be normal, and accepted. Being “normal” for the Dursleys yielded great results in improving his standard of living, and as he heads off to Hogwarts he still retains that impulse to keep his head down and blend in. Of course, life isn’t as simple as that, and Harry is a magnet for trouble. And what does "normal" really mean, anyway? The pure-bloods in his group of friends think he should learn more about their culture and religion if he wants to fit in.

Summary
The Elder Wand and its divided loyalties send the final battle back to the last time the Hallows were all united in the same space: Hogwarts, 1946. Alas, temporal displacement doesn't really change much for the prophesied foes. Voldemort still wants to kill Harry; Harry still wants to end the war and go home. Watching avidly from the sidelines of their mis-timed duel, 18 year-old Tom Riddle can't decide whether he wants this mysterious Potter boy to shut up, join his Knights, or snog him senseless.

Summary
‘Emotion was building in Harry’s throat, “This is very interesting Draco,” he admitted, aiming for casual but knowing the shaking of his hands was giving him away, “But how do we get back?”
Draco’s face crumpled, “I’m sorry Harry, there is no way back,” it was like a bell had been struck inside Harry’s head - all he could hear was ringing, “There’s no where to go back to,” Draco moaned, “He wasn’t just trying to travel in time - he was trying to obliterate his own,” Draco choked on his tears, “There’s nothing ahead of this to travel to yet Harry,” he let out a few more hiccuping tears before finally suppressing his noises of pain, “There is no going back,” he whispered.’
—
Harry had known working at the Department of Mysteries came with risks, but he never would have expected it to destroy his entire life. Now, trapped as his 14 year old self just after the resurrection of Voldemort with Draco Malfoy for company, they must try and figure out how to move forward.
