Summary
The world ended in ash, and the Master of Death was its only survivor. Now, Harry Potter has returned to 1995 to ensure that history never repeats itself—but he isn't playing the hero this time.
To the world, he is still the "Stupid Gryffindor": impulsive, loud, and easily led by Dumbledore. In reality, Harry is a cold-blooded strategist building a secret army of the new generation under the noses of his enemies. While Voldemort and Dumbledore waste their strength fighting for an obsolete world, Harry and a recruited Hermione are quietly seizing its foundations.
He’ll play the fool. He’ll play the pawn. But by the time the mask falls, the throne will already be his.
"Dumbledore wants a martyr. Voldemort wants a rival. Death wants a revolution."Bookmarked by lurksinshadows

Heir of Fire and Ice by VerdantGremlin (Riverwitch20)

Summary
Harry Potter was done waiting.
After years of beatings, neglect, and being treated like an inconvenience in his own home, Harry runs away from Privet Drive in the middle of summer—tired of the Dursleys’ cruelty, the silence from those who were supposed to protect him, and the strained, carefully-worded letters from friends who feel increasingly out of reach.
In the heart of Diagon Alley, Harry discovers something that should have been impossible: he is not only the Heir of House Potter, but also the Heir of House Black. Two ancient lines of magic awaken within him—fire and ice, honour and control—binding themselves to him in ways he is only beginning to understand.
When legal magic confirms his emancipation, Harry is offered something he has never truly had before: choice.
Taken in under the protection of a certain Weasley connection—someone far from the Ministry’s reach and far closer to Goblin law than most wizards realize—Harry begins to rebuild his life from the ground up.
And if that so happened to be him resorting himself into a certain green and silver Hogwarts house? So be it.Bookmarked by lurksinshadows
