Summary
After ten years of the Dursleys' toxic "family loyalty," Harry Potter arrives at Hogwarts with different priorities. When he meets a lonely boy searching for his lost toad and watches Draco dismiss his "followers" like furniture, Harry makes a choice that changes everything.
Instead of chasing adventure, Harry builds something he's never had: a real family. His circle includes Neville Longbottom, Justin Finch-Fletchley, and surprisingly, Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle—who discover what it means to be valued beyond their muscle.
But Draco won't let his former followers slip away without a fight. As Harry's chosen family grows stronger, Draco's attempts to reassert control grow desperate and dangerous.
Family isn't about blood. It's about who you choose to protect—and who you'd learn Dark Arts for to keep them safe.

Summary
After the war, Draco makes the decision to come back to school for his eighth year, desperate to escape the walls of his home. Turns out, Hogwarts is just as tormented by the things he’d done. Overwhelmed with the memories, he tries to clean up the areas he’s ruined before he gives up the fight—only to be stalked, once again, by Harry Potter. The prick. If he only minded his business, they wouldn’t be in this mess.
Harry didn’t come back to school for any reason other than to desperately cling to the only home he’d ever known. Only to realize it doesn’t feel the same anymore. Maybe he no longer has a home. Needing to find a distraction from the walls that hurt to walk in, Harry finds himself following Draco Malfoy, who’s up to something, back to the Room of Requirement.
Only to break a Time Turner in a stupid fight. And get stuck in 1977.
Sorted into the wrong houses and forced to pretend to be friends, Draco and Harry have to confront the dead, the ghosts that haunt them, and their growing feelings for each other.

Summary
“A Name Reclaimed” picks up where “A Name in the Ashes" left off.
Harry Potter is alive… and no longer entirely hidden.As whispers stir and secrets rise, the quiet life Harry built with Sirius and Remus begins to fracture. The truth of his survival cannot stay buried forever, and when it surfaces, it draws both allies and enemies out of the shadows. Sirius faces the weight of the past, and Harry must step into a world that thought him dead.
At Hogwarts, Harry enters a castle filled with wonder, rivalry, and strange magic. But beneath the feasts and spells, something darker stirs. Voldemort is not gone, only waiting. And far from the school’s safe walls, Death Eaters plot in hushed meetings, chasing power, legacy, and the favour of a master they believe will rise again.
Book Two of “The Seven Names of Harry Potter.”
Spans from autumn 1990 to the end of Harry’s first year at Hogwarts.
A story of discovery, reckoning, and the slow unravelling of the past.

Summary
What if Voldemort attacked both Neville and Harry that Halloween night?
The world crowns Neville as the Boy Who Lived. Harry is presumed dead, lost in fire and legend.But far from magic, a boy with strange powers grows up unseen, unnamed, and forgotten. And in the shadows, a fugitive godfather risks everything: prison, death, and worse; for one impossible goal; to give Harry a name, a future, and a home.
A Name in the Ashes is a canon-divergent take on the “Wrong Boy Who Lived” trope, told with a focus on emotional realism, character depth, and slow-burning tension. It avoids character bashing in favour of layered perspectives; people may clash or fail each other, but no one is villainised for the sake of plot. Though not a crack fic, the series carries a thread of humour, especially through character dynamics and interactions.
Part One of “The Seven Names of Harry Potter.”
Spans from Halloween 1981 to just after Harry's tenth birthday.
A quiet beginning to a larger story of identity, memory, and found family.
No pairings.

Summary
Harry wasn’t supposed to disappear. But he did.
And he didn’t go alone.Now three runaways are rebuilding something old and powerful, tucked behind ancient wards and crumbling stone of a much too sentient manor.
There is hope in the walls, truths in the shadows, and a war still waiting for them just beyond the gates. But here, in this half-ruined corner of the world, they are choosing something different. Peace, power, and each other.This is a story about found family, quiet healing, unexpected love, and what it means to stop surviving and start living. Even if the cost is everything they left behind.

Summary
At the pub, the walls were painted a pine shade of green, the white of the ceiling exhausted by an old leak, frames dangling off nails, slightly tilted. John F. Kennedy having a pint, Ollie Campbell in dirty shorts and an Irish jersey, the tricolour flag hanging from behind the bar and a fading print of Poblacht Na hEireann by the door.
On game days, drunk and rowdy middle-aged men would congregate to watch Mayo lose every GAA final since 1951. They called it the ‘Mayo curse’ and the legend had it that after the team’s last triumph, the bus escorting the heap of victorious players had passed a funeral cortege on the road, and failed to pay proper respects. A catholic priest had placed a curse as punishment, and the county never won a final again.
So, come to think of it, maybe that’s why Dad never minded Mam’s post-wedding revelations much. In Ireland, even the Muggles believed in magic.
