Before making his final attempt to get the Horcrux memory from Slughorn, Harry drinks the entire bottle of Felix Felicis. Later that night, when he and Dumbledore view the memory, the potion is still in effect.
His luck persists just long enough for everything to change.

King's Cross Station looks a little different, the second time.
So does the riverbank. So does Sirius, so do the dementors - Hell, even his patronus is different.
Snape, however, is infuriatingly unchanged.- Language:

Summary
Lost in the throes of a post-divorce midlife crisis, Harry signs up to be the new Hogwarts Defence professor. Unfortunately the post is still destroying perfectly decent professors left and right, and Harry can’t break the curse without special help.
Which is how he ends up with the Resurrection Stone on his finger and with the shade of Lord Voldemort as his co-teacher.

Summary
All Harry Potter ever wanted was to finally be accepted as someone other than an incurably criminal boy. A fresh start in Slytherin - which, admittedly, does seem to have a worrying proportion of goons - seems to be just what he needs to make some lifelong friendships. And if that life happens to be an immortal one, all the better.
It's too bad that the high-pitched voice in his head has other ideas.

Summary
It was a bone-deep almost-ache when he opened his eyes and spotted the light flitting through the slats of his cupboard, both a familiar sight and at the same time distant like an old memory. It was a twist in his chest when he sat up, expecting—strangely—to hit his head on the sloped ceiling only to pause when he realized, of course, that he was far too short for that to happen.
Harry was struck with a strong sensation—which had no apparent reason at all—that he should not be here.
---
In which Harry Potter returns to his 11 year-old body after “dying” in the Forbidden Forest, given a second chance to change the ending of his story and the fate of the wizarding world. Except with the memories of his previous life buried deep in his subconscious, Harry must rely on his ever-present sense of deja-vu to guide him down a different path.Series

Summary
Albus Dumbledore watched two visionaries start as driven, powerful, brilliant young men, and become monsters. He has no heir, no protege of equal power to step in should another one rise, and he is old. So when he hears of a Chosen One with power the Dark Lord knows not, he thinks maybe he doesn't want this boy prophesied to defeat Lord Voldemort to grow up in the Wizarding world. He thinks of the bonds of family, and the opportunity he has to shape his world's politics, and of a corrupt magical elite who've signed on with two Dark Lords over hatred of Muggles. He thinks Harry Potter should grow up loved by his family, and Voldemort be destroyed so there is no need for Harry to ever realize his power, and he acts to make both of those things happen. Because he's Dumbledore and what he wants, he gets.
Usually.
When you dabble with improvised ritual magic, you should be aware there might be unforeseen consequences. For example: souls touch.

Summary
Harry dies. And then he wakes back up- only, he's eleven again, and waiting to be sorted.
Except, it's not his sorting. He's found himself in 1971, and he has absolutely no idea what to do. He's friendless and wandless and the constant sight of his eleven-year-old parents and his parents' eleven-year-old friends walking around and laughing and being alive is not helping him feel any less alone.
But he's not alone. Because as it turns out, he's not the only one that's come back.
Far from it.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Snake by gonzoclock

Summary
What I wanted to write was a quick one-shot that explored the idea of Harry being the biological son of Voldemort, only Voldemort doesn't know he has a son and is also as evil as ever. Meanwhile, Harry is just a charismatic kid with a snake and ridiculously powerful magic.
It turned into a series rewrite.
Here's book one, I guess.
Features Harry Potter trying to keep his friends from doing crimes, a tired Remus Lupin spontaneously adopting a traumatized child with absurd magical capabilities, Severus Snape doing the bare minimum which is still somehow more than what Dumbledore is capable of, and Harry's friends' growing exasperation with Harry's terrible decision-making skills.

Local Preteens Entrap Murderous Wraith (You Won’t Believe What Happens Next) by asterismal (asterisms)

Summary
“It was you, wasn’t it? The snake…”
“And that pathetic wretch of a man who visited you at your family’s home.” He forces Harry to turn his head, to meet his gleeful gaze. “And the shadow out of the corner of your eye when you thought yourself alone. Yes, Harry, I was there.”
“How?” he demands, bravado not quite masking fear.
And Voldemort laughs again, an edge of madness to the sound. “Oh, you lucky little idiot. You have no idea what you’ve done.”
Harry, Ron, and Hermione discover a spell. They decide to perform it, and no one is pleased with the result.

Summary
“Hello dickhead,” hisses Nagini. "I am here to report your location and abysmally boring daily life back to Tom so he can find a way to kill you faster and more painfully. At least then he’ll give me more rabbits, because hunting is a pain in the arse and those nimble little pieces of shit are bloody tiring to catch.”
Harry stops weeding Aunt Petunia’s lawn in favour of staring at the giant python in the garden hedge next to him.
It’s the holidays after the Triwizard Tournament, Nagini hates this whole spy business, and Harry makes an unexpected friend.

Bookmarker's Notes
This is the cutest Voldemort wins fic that I have ever read! Thank you for writing.

Summary
Harry finds a better life with the basilisk, but that doesn't mean it's easy. From inter-being feuds, to bloody prophecies, to elven unrest, Harry is in the eye of a hurricane that will change the wizarding world forever.
Involving thestrals, merfolk, house elves, centaurs, acromantulae, and various other friends, denizens, and allies.
This series is: Queer in a multitude of ways. Morally complex. A massively canon-divergent AU. Filled with oc's and non-oc's. A story about relationships, love, trust, friendship, healing ... and revolution.
There are seven novel-length fics, plus a prologue (to leap and love the fall) and two longer stories (with courage unyielding and the gentle sunlight). The short story collection to journey on contains shorter stories set within the main timeline. All are posted in the correct reading order.

Summary
It’s May 1979 and the Order has just apprehended a pair of mysterious wizards who look remarkably like a Potter and a Malfoy. Naturally, James Potter and Sirius Black are called in to identify the strangely familiar strangers and determine their backgrounds and loyalties.
(This would be a lot easier if their captives weren’t convinced everyone they talk to is dead. It would also be easier if they didn’t spend half their bloody time bickering.)
**
“Just ask them questions only they would know the answer to,” Malfoy suggests.
“There’s not a single thing that I know about either of them from the first war that any old Death Eater couldn’t find out.”
“How is that possible?” Malfoy huffs. “He’s your father!”
“Am I or am I not famously an orphan?” Potter snarls.

Summary
In another world, Harry Potter was spared. Raised by a Pureblood guardian in Lord Voldemort's Britain, he isn't special and enters his seventh year wanting nothing more than to be allowed to go into Arithmancy research and keep his head down.
But after a chance encounter with a man who later arrives at Hogwarts on behalf of the Ministry, to evaluate the seventh-year students for potential, it looks like it may not be so simple.
Marvolo Gaunt seems to have his eye on Harry. The trouble is, Harry has no idea why.

Summary
Severus had always known that he would die in a painful, most horrifying way ever since back when he was almost beaten to death by his father, then mauled by a werewolf, then thrashed around by a maniac overlord. His miserable, luckless life only seemed to lead to that one day when he would be struck down by a bloody snake, of all things.
Bleeding out in front of Harry Potter was just the last humiliation Lady Destiny had in store for him.
Suddenly staring into Potter senior’s eyes again while being levicorpused was just the icing on the cake.- Language:
