Summary
Harry is removed from the Dursley family when he is eight years old, and enters the wizarding world a few years younger and a lot wiser. He discovers a surprising dark heritage, and develops goals that do not involve vanquishing a certain Dark Lord or becoming the Chosen One. Adopted into the Black family, Harry will fight against the expectation that he is to defeat the Dark Lord and instead dedicates himself to protecting the dark legacy that has been left to him.
Eventual Harry Potter/Tom Riddle | Voldemort.

Summary
(A/N: This story was until 29.12.2024 called "The Grey World". "The Grey World" will soon be the title of Part II of "The Grey World Series". I hope this dosn't cause confussion, and if it does I apologize, but the name change was deemed necessary.)
The Horcrux hunt was cut short when Ron left. Not long after, Voldemort showed up and took Slytherin's locket from Harry and Hermione. The Wizarding World went into full war. Harry and Hermione stay together through it all, the loss of friends, allies and hope. Still alive and fighting, but their society is collapsing, so when Harry gets a unexpected treaty offer, it's hard to refuse.
This story will begin at the end of the second Wizarding War and will therefore mention a lot of what comes with a war, death, trauma, loss, pain, torture, rape and more. But as of this moment I do not know how explicit I will make it, so just be warned. There will also be foul language and sexual acts, some with dubious consent, at best.
I also post the story at fanfiction.net, under the same nick, WinterMist2.
Do not steal my story and post anywhere else. Do not translate my story.I do not own any of this. This is the world and characters of J. K. Rowling.

Summary
Six years after the fall of Voldemort, the Ministry of Magic introduce a new statute in an attempt to counter the falling birthrate. Unmarried witches and wizards are given six months to find a spouse, or one will be chosen for them.
Hermione’s happily settled into her life as a single witch: her work and her friends keep her busy enough. Arthur’s had six years to get used to being on his own, but when they’re matched by the new law, they’re going to have to overcome their differences and their previous relationship and learn to live with (and maybe even love?) each other.
Currently updating on Tuesdays, but hoping to squeeze in a bonus extra chapter in here and there.

Harry Potter and the Persistence of Vision by Marzipan77

Summary
Albus Dumbledore's magic faded from the world ten days after his funeral. Wards, bindings, traps, controls, glamours - the scope of the wizard's interference in the Wizarding World was greater than anyone realized. Obliviated memories returned. Powerful magic was released from its chains. Geasa were broken. Thankfully, some wizards were ready. Ready to step in. To step up. To offer help and hope to the teenager who had been weighed down with too many expectations and too little information.
His core and mind released from Dumbledore's bindings, Harry Potter would not flee, he wouldn't take off on a hopeless task handed out by a dead wizard. Severus Snape was released from Dumbledore's complete control. And Remus Lupin opened his eyes, embraced his power and oaths, and turned eagerly to protect and train his cub.
Complete re-write of Book 7. AU.

Summary
After the war, Harry suffers from PTSD and depression and even his mind healer can only help him so much. He feels this deep need to remove himself from his usual daily life to be able to breathe again. The public pressure on him has never been so high and he can't find a single calm minute to think about himself. When he unexpectedly inherits several lordship titles, he feels betrayed by all those closest to him and nothing holds him back anymore. Harry decides to leave everything behind and start a new life travelling. He hopes to find peace and solace in solitude.
Accompany Harry on a world trip of self-discovery, healing and learning.AKA: Harry leaves and becomes a badass motherfucker. But before that it's a really dark journey.
Harry not really leaves the wizarding world, but the British wizarding world.
This epos attempts to give a thorough insight into magical theory, wand lore, potions, broom crafting, parselmagic, history of magic, transfiguration, charms, etc. Very heavy on world building and lore. This is my attempt to correct the unrealistic epilogue of canon.- Language:

Ever wonder how Lucy and Tamara were able to sleep at night after discovering the creepy passageway behind the mirror in their bathroom? No? Well, I checked with the Tim Bradford that lives rent-free in my head, and he couldn't believe it either. Get ready for protective Tim, lots of accidental domestic living, and knowing looks from friends who know these two idiots are in love.
Fair warning: As the story develops, things get a little darker. Rosalind's trial begins and the team learns her ability to influence others didn't die with Caleb.... But fret not, I'm all about happy endings!- Language:
