Summary
“No post on Sundays” Uncle Vernon announced happily, “No damn letters today-”
Something came whizzing down the kitchen chimney as he spoke and caught him sharply on the back of the head. The next moment, thirty or forty letters came pelting out of the fireplace like bullets.
“That does it!” he snapped, his beady little eyes focused solely on Harry, “It’s you that they want. And they won’t stop coming after us until you’re… gone”.
Harry didn't like the sound of that.
“But Vernon, we can’t! You heard what that- that despicable old man told us!”
“Don’t worry, pet” Vernon said, his nasty grin triumphant, “I’ll leave him someplace so far away that those freaks will never trace him back to us. There’s an institute up north, for these- these hopeless cases and whatnot - St Brutus's Secure Centre for Boys. I’ll leave him there, and then we can get back to our nice, normal life”.Or, the one where Harry doesn't attend Hogwarts in first year but finds his way to the wizarding world anyway, and this changes everything.

The Kelpie of the Black Lake by Bomayhanhethongdangnhap

Summary
Beneath the cold and abyssal Black Lake, there exist more than just Merpeople and Giant Squids. There is something older, hungrier, and more beautiful than all of them combined. Harry does not remember when he was born; he only knows he is a Kelpie – a creature destined to drown lost souls. He is solitary, yearning for the warmth of life yet destroying anyone who dares to approach.
Until a Slytherin boy with abyssal black eyes steps to the water's edge. He does not tremble; he does not beg. He looks into the monster's glowing green eyes and sees not death, but power.
Tom Riddle does not want to kill the monster. He wants to possess it.
From crumbled pieces of bread to the corpses of those who stood in his way, Tom sacrifices everything to gain the secrets of ancient magic and the fierce loyalty of the "deity" beneath the lake.

Summary
Harry doesn’t remember how he ended up here.
One moment, he was fighting for his life in the ruins of Hogwarts. The next, he’s waking up in a world that looks like his own—but nothing feels right. He’s wealthy with a sordid reputation, married to Tom Riddle, who is no longer a monster in the shadows but the beloved Minister for Magic.
And as if that isn’t surreal enough, Riddle has a lover in Draco Malfoy and no intention of letting Harry go.
Trapped in a life he never chose, Harry knows only one thing: he has to find a way back home.
