    Summary

    Unobserved and unknown to most, a bright star fell over the night sky to meet its end. Whilst in Hogwarts, Trelawney trembled with the force of a new prophecy:

    "The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord is risen, born in a slaughter of souls, born as he thrice defies death...carnage will be his companion, as darkness will be his bride...a time shall come when the Serpent takes the world between Its jaws, demanding sacrifices promised...and none shall live as long as It prevails ...The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord is risen..."

    In which a war between magic and the rest of the world destroyed everything Harry had ever known and loved. Traveling back in time, he will stop at nothing to carry out his vengeance.

    Summary

    “No post on Sundays” Uncle Vernon announced happily, “No damn letters today-”
    Something came whizzing down the kitchen chimney as he spoke and caught him sharply on the back of the head. The next moment, thirty or forty letters came pelting out of the fireplace like bullets.
    “That does it!” he snapped, his beady little eyes focused solely on Harry, “It’s you that they want. And they won’t stop coming after us until you’re… gone”.
    Harry didn't like the sound of that.
    “But Vernon, we can’t! You heard what that- that despicable old man told us!”
    “Don’t worry, pet” Vernon said, his nasty grin triumphant, “I’ll leave him someplace so far away that those freaks will never trace him back to us. There’s an institute up north, for these- these hopeless cases and whatnot - St Brutus's Secure Centre for Boys. I’ll leave him there, and then we can get back to our nice, normal life”.

    Or, the one where Harry doesn't attend Hogwarts in first year but finds his way to the wizarding world anyway, and this changes everything.

    Summary

    It's summer, 1996, and Harry is angry.

    He lets go of his anger, though! At the same moment the last of the Dursleys falls dead to the ground.

    "Dobby is free," he giggles.

    The aftermath proves more interesting than anyone could have expected.

    (Things escalate quickly, from there.)

    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.

    Summary

    Harry had always disliked the titles that were thrust upon him. First he was a freak, then he became the-boy-who-lived, and before he knew it he had been a liar, a traitor and the undesirable number one.

    The point was, his names were numerous and they were all a pain in his ass. His newest one was no better, of course. Even in his wildest dreams he wouldn’t imagine Voldemort calling him his soulmate.
