Summary
What if Snape had agreed to become the Head of Slytherin House, not because Dumbledore wanted him to, but because he wanted to save Slytherin? What if he used his cunning to reform the house right under Dumbledore's nose?
He could save some of the Slytherins from the mistakes he made. He could find the ones who wanted to walk away and help them. And if he created in them a house loyalty deeper than their loyalty to Voldemort, the ones who wouldn’t walk away might be able to save each other in the end. The first step was to keep them from becoming willing slaves while here at Hogwarts.
Severus knew from his own years here that Slytherins were happiest when they were plotting. The problem was that Hogwarts wasn’t structured to give them drama, so they had had to create it. If he could keep them busy with other things, they might learn how to focus their energy. The House Cup had long since lost its allure as it was biased, so he would have to create other challenges for them. After all these bitter years, he had nothing kind left in him, but in the end, the choice was easy. He did it for her. Because it was something she would want him to do if she still lived.

Summary
The trio is: a war orphan in Slytherin who's survival means nothing if it's not with his friends; a muggleborn in Ravenclaw who's shaping up to the brightest wix of her generation; and a sixth son in Hufflepuff who's willing to face his fears for his crew.
And Theo is paranoid and Sue is angry and Susan is Susan, which is to say terrifying.
And of all the people Harry had to pick to help him with this, he had to pick Snape?
Or: Second year means more friends, more enemies, and a gigantic goddamn snake.

Summary
Barty Crouch Jr. had two main career goals.
To be the wizarding world's best actor.
To be the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts.
Luckily, he had a very supportive father (figure) in the Dark Lord.OR
The one where every defense professor after Remus Lupin is actually replaced by Barty Crouch Jr. at some point and pretty much no one notices except Harry Potter.

Summary
Harry Potter has never been normal. Even before he was born, he was a child of prophecy. So no part of his life could be called normal in the slightest. When given the chance to have a 'normal' life, does he even know what that means? No, he's gone through too much to even try, and he's too tired to care. It's too bad everyone expects him to be the upstanding son and heir of the Potter family when he's never had family before in his life though.
Also, the baby is a little difficult to explain. The baby who may eventually turn into Lord Voldemort...no, nature vs. nurture and all, and Harry plans to nurture the hell out of this kid.

Bookmarker's Notes
Hilarious in places. Harry dies, moves to dimension with good TM. HP/BW, SS/Death.
