    Summary

    On a dark night long ago, Sirius Black took a wrong turn and never found Peter Pettigrew. Instead of Azkaban, Sirius settled down in Little Whinging to keep an eye on his godson, and hired Remus Lupin to run his bookshop for him. Then one day when Harry was eight, Sirius found out how the Dursleys treated him, and stole him away.

    Stealing Harry is an alternate universe version of Harry Potter's life before his time at Hogwarts. It is the story of Harry's family: Sirius and Remus, Ted and Andromeda, Nymphadora, Neville Longbottom, and even Severus Snape, all banded together against a newly powerful Peter Pettigrew who is still searching for a way to resurrect Voldemort.

    Laocoon's Children follows Harry through his time at Hogwarts as he develops a very different group of friends: Hufflepuff Draco Malfoy, Ravenclaw Padma Patil, and Gryffindor Neville Longbottom, strange companions for a Harry who was sorted into Slytherin -- the house of his beloved Professor Snape.

    This universe ends in Harry's third year, and is partially incomplete. As it is not likely to be finished, the last story in the series is a group of notes I made on where the story would have gone and how it would have ended.

    Summary

    A letter from home? A letter from family? Well, Harry Potter knows he has neither, but all the same, it starts with a letter from Surrey. Whatever the Dursleys have to say, it can't be anything good, so Harry's determined to ignore it. But when the Potions Master forces him to read his letter, Harry gets sent down a path he'd never have walked on his own.

    It will be a year of big changes, a year of great pain, and a year of Harry confronting his worst fears.
    But from the most unexpected of sources, Harry Potter will finally get a chance to have that which he has never known: a family.

    A sixth year fic, this story follows Order of the Phoenix and disregards any canon events that occur after Book 5.

    Summary

    Harry's been back with the Dursleys for a few days but life is already worse than ever before. On a fateful day, a week or so before his birthday, Uncle Vernon has had enough of his nightmares - and the screaming that comes with them. Beatings are nothing new. Snape appearing to rescue him afterwards is.
    What follows is something that Harry never dared imagine. Stories of families, various branches of magic, new allies and new enemies. After all, "you can start a family or you can start a war".

    Summary

    Theodore Nott did not believe the hype about Harry Potter.
    And then Potter summoned a corporeal stag the size of his trust issues.

    Now the stag won’t leave, Potter won’t stop rambling, and Theo might be developing a completely manageable, definitely-not-deranged fascination.

    It’s fine.
    He’s fine.
    Everyone is lying.
