    Summary

    Harry Potter has always been different, and his strange connection to plants marks him as the freak his Aunt and Uncle always claimed he was. The wizarding world was supposed to be an escape, but even there, he must hide the truth of his abilities. His magic doesn’t fit the rules, and secrets have a way of growing wild.

    (If only there was someone who understood...)

     
    A re-telling of the books in which Harry has more than one power the Dark Lord knows not.

    Summary

    Tom probably was meant to be a Dark Lord. But this Hufflepuff won't leave him alone and somehow he gets these stupid protective feelings and he ends up saving the world. That's just great. Tom was pretty sure he would have been happier being evil, but luckily for the world, Harry strongly disagrees.

    Summary

    Harry Potter just learned he's a wizard. Instead of returning to the Dursley's he decided to make his own way, learning as much as he can about the world he is about to enter and the family he comes from. Hard work is its own reward and there's nothing quite like having good friends.

    A Hufflepuff Harry reimagining of the Philosopher's Stone.

    Summary

    An incident when Elizabeth Bennet is fifteen forces her removal to her Aunt and Uncle Gardiner of Gracechurch Street, London.

The Matlock's are welcoming to the young displaced woman who they see as being a perfect match for their reserved, prideful, and very eligible nephew/cousin.

    Summary

    Holly Pandora Potter is more morally flexible than the Harry James Potter who exists in other stories. When thinking about Lockhart and his 'Memory Charm', after surviving the events down in the Chamber of Secrets, Holly considers the possibilities.

     

    ‘It isn’t even the best way you could use a spell like that.’ The twelve year old Holly thought to herself. ‘I mean, if you were evil you could commit any number of crimes in front of witnesses and just remove their memories. Even if you’re not particularly bad it would have to be useful, especially against bad people. Ha! I’d love to make the Dursleys forget about me. Forget about magic too, for that matter.’

     

    Things to know:
    - Pottermore states that Memory Charms are in the second year Standard Book of Spells, this is not so in this story (or really any story I write)
    - There will be some ponderings on morality
    - Fem Harry is because I love those stories and want to write one, not because of some greater reason or commentary
    - Not a fan of JK's politics or beliefs, but this world remains stuck in my head

    Summary

    Harry's first primary teacher reported the Dursleys for abuse, so Harry was adopted by a loving couple that were engaged in researching esoteric science. Rather than ignore the accidental magic that Harry had done, Rebecca and Edward Sharp helped their new son control and hone his abilities. By the time Harry's Godfather and Uncle Remus tracked Harry down he was already quite skilled in certain uses of magic, even if he called it 'Fizz'. He was also best friends and brother to Matilda Honey, a girl who could also move things with her mind, but not in the same way he could.

    As such, it is time for a poignant goodbye between Harry and his Family on September 1st, 1991. He has new people to meet, things to learn, and he's been contracted as an agent by his parents' boss to find out how dangerous the magical world might be for humanity as a whole.

     

    This won't be a canon rehash, but there will be some familiar encounters because it wouldn't be as fun otherwise. No House of Potter or Lordship games, even if the Blacks still have a large amount of influence. Dating will happen in the future, but the kids are 11, give them a minute.

    Oh, Harry is eleven and therefore can be rather silly at times.

    Summary

    Harry Potter's first teacher did their job.

    Now Harry is on the road to having a family and friends while coming to terms with being different from most of those around him.

    --------

    I recently heard that this can be considered a 'Harry was raised different' story
    This work is intended to cover up until August 31st, 1991.
    The next work in the series (Harry Potter, Paranormal Agent) will cover Harry's time at school.

    I'm aiming for a bunch of snapshots into events around Harry's life and where this premise diverges from what we are used to seeing. Hopefully I can avoid verbatim retellings of what we have all read before.

    Posting schedule is whatever my brain dictates

    Summary

    The moment the Death Curse struck Harry Potter's forehead and carved a scar into the toddler's skin, something else happened. In that moment, when the line between life and death blurred and time had no name, little Harry saw something he was perhaps never meant to see. He saw his former life. And Salazar Slytherin awoke.

    Summary

    AU. Harry accidentally Apparates to an empty Grimmauld Place when he’s nine instead of to the top of the school roof when he escapes Dudley’s gang. The house is empty except for portraits and sometimes a speaking wooden face, and Harry has to kill his own food, and there’s something nasty in the cellars, and some of the portraits are mad. But this is still a vast improvement over the Dursleys.

    Summary

    Elizabeth tours Pemberley with the Gardiners a year early, while the Darcys are away at Ramsgate. She is intrigued by the housekeeper's glowing praise of a man who is highly respected by his servants and tenants, and a doting guardian to his much younger sister, not to mention so handsome in his portrait. But when she meets him in person two months later in Hertfordshire, he doesn't quite match Mrs Reynolds' description.

    Summary

    Another take on WHAT-IF Harry got rid of Voldemort in fifth year? Oh yeah and WHAT-IF he just so happened to fall in love with certain twins? In disguise. Under a wrong name, that is. Shenanigans ahead.
    Also a take on self-discovery and gender fluidity.

    (Or the one in which Harry gives the headmaster the finger and decides to go exploring the Wizarding World on his own.)
