    Summary

    In a world that is similar yet different, a young Harry Potter finds himself discovering magic in new and incredible ways. Nobility, Schools, and Secrets abound in this story of adventure, deception, and mysteries. AU, Eventual Powerful!Harry, Manipulative!Dumbledore. No outright bashing, but some are not as they are in canon. Rated M for eventual graphic scenes, but no slash.

    Summary

    A war-torn and weary Harry Potter manages to find his way back in time. Unlike what he's expecting, he finds a world without the war-monger Voldemort and no real place for him to fit in. Stuck where he is, he decides to make the best of it and carve out a life for himself with the preparations he'd made, no matter what he has to carve through to get that.

    Summary

    How did everyone miss it? That dark look in Potter's eyes? They were all too happy to gloss over his insistence that the Dark Lord had returned, acting as if the wild claims were endearing and not signs of a manic break. ... Hadn't Draco also grown up with the Dark Lord? Hiding from him within his own home, terrified of a man that no one seemed to realize was obviously a sociopath? Yet he was not raving, demanding that everyone accept that the Dark Lord was sure to return.

    "I have been tasked with befriending you and bringing you to the Dark Lord this summer, to make up for my... inconsistent support as of late." Draco said the words before he could think better of it. "So associating yourself with me is not only mad, but dangerous. For both of us, but mostly you."

    He could admit that was the case, because while his life and mum would certainly be at risk, Potter would be killed, there was no debate.

    Draco never could have predicted Potter's particularly daft and entirely sincere response, especially considering that Potter did not even take a breath before saying it. "Let's do it. Take me to Voldemort."
