Summary
Summer after the traumatic end of the Triwizard Tournament, instead of Harry Potter getting visions of the latest evil plot from the Dark Lord, it is Voldemort who gets visions of The-Boy-Who-Lived’s childhood.
And they’re not pleasant.
When Newt accepted to become one of Harry Potter's secret guard as a favor to Albus Dumbledore, he hadn't anticipated being faced with a choice concerning the welfare and safety of a child: obey Albus Dumbledore's orders or stay at Voldemort's side to protect Harry.
Though difficult, the right choice was clear.

Summary
James and Lily are dead. Harry is not. And as much as the dynamic duo of Gryffindor have their issues to work through regarding magic, the Old Ways, politics, and heritage, they still love their son, and will do anything to help him on his way...even if they can only do so through dreams. Join James and Lily, their friends, and their enemies as they navigate what it means to be dead and what it means to finally have access to the truth.
Harry Potter is weird. He knows this. He's known this since he was young, since it was all his family would ever say to him. But as much as his family hated him and his weirdness, he loved it, and he loved the dreams of the nice man with bad hair and the pretty woman with green eyes who told him they loved him every night. And he loved what they taught him too. He doesn't say what his weirdness is, because he'd get in trouble and he'd get hurt by his Uncle, but he knows what it is in his heart. And he's biding his time to leave the house behind and find the mystical places the nice people told him about--a Diagonally and a Hoggywart. And he'll take his cousin too, since he's nicer than he pretends to be. Join Harry and Dudley as they navigate the magical world (pre Year 1 - year 1)

Summary
It had started back when Harry was 8, and his aunt, tired of the school calling in and asking about Harry's over-large, ripped shirts and pants, had thrown a sewing kit at his chest and told him to to fix his clothing himself.
Then he finds a magazine titled "Punks Not Dead" on the street. Entranced and intrigued by it, he hides it in his backpack to read during breaktime, when he can be in the school's library without Dudley haunting him. Inspired by the pages within, Harry finds himself in alleyways and close to bars, picking up loose soda tabs and forgotten scraps of fabric and safety pins.
By the time he's 10, he spends more time outside and in school than anywhere close to the Dursely's home. It is then he finds a community of his own; a rag-tag group of teenagers living in a nearby LGTBQ+ shelter who are all too happy to take their youngest, and newest member under their collective wing.
The wizarding world is unprepared for the ball of raging anger and soda tab chains that is 11-year-old Harry Potter. Cynical, unafraid to get into fights, and smarter than people take him for, he's not the boy the wizarding world wants him to be.
Told from the perspective of one of the teenagers.

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.
