Summary
In the middle of their second year, Draco and Harry discover they're soulmates and do their best to keep it a secret from everyone.
Their best isn't perfect.
~
“Are you trying to get killed, Potter?” Malfoy drawls, stalking forward. Quick as a serpent himself, he reaches out and grabs the snake just below the head. It thrashes in his grip, but is no longer able to bite anyone. “This is a poisonous snake, and I doubt anyone brought a bezoar with them.”
Harry glares. He opens his mouth, and feels the beginning the snake’s language pass his lips, and this isn’t what he wants, what’s the point of insulting Malfoy if he can’t understand him –
Malfoy’s eyes widen. He slaps his hand over Harry’s mouth, “Potter, what the hell–”

Summary
The order meeting had gone well, and James Potter ran over the details in his head as he cleared cups of half-drunk tea from his dining table. He had gathered a tidy stack of cups to deliver to the kitchen when an enormous crack sounded throughout the room, as if an entire army had apparated into his house.
Startled, he set down the teacups, and began to urgently move towards the entrance hall, where his wife was seeing off their guests. He had to make sure that Lily was ok, and if Dumbledore or Moody were still hanging around they might be able to offer an explanation for the sound. If it was some kind of mass-apparation, they could very well be under attack.
He had just reached the doorway when a dark shape materialized from above, and then James was on the floor, staring at a familiar looking, dark-haired boy who had fallen squarely on-top of him.

Just a Few Changes (will Keep you Safe) by Blueseabird2
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
It's been over five years since Voldemort's defeat when Harry Potter gets pushed through a portal and falls into the Great Hall of Hogwarts. This wouldn't be a problem, exactly, except it's his parents' Hogwarts instead of his own. Thankfully, Hermione and Ron aren't about to let him face this newest form of trouble by himself. Even more fortunately, Hermione says they're in a different dimension entirely.
Harry has a castle full of living ghosts, his best friends by his side, and three to six months to make just a few changes. Starting with a snake.

A short one, but probably the most canonically accurate Severitus I’ve read in a while. It leaves you wanting more for them but feels very true to character.

Summary
Dumbledore raises Harry, as his ward. Nothing has changed, except for what Harry and Albus mean to each other, and that changes everything.
The prophecy must still be fulfilled. Voldemort still seeks the enemy he marked for his own. And Albus knows this. He’s always known.

Summary
At the age of four, Harry decides anywhere else is better than life with the Dursleys. Running away in the quiet of night, slipping through loopholes in his magical protection, he finds himself the ward of a nomadic curse breaker. For five years, he sees and learns more than he ever could have dreamed of, gaining a true love of independence.
But when Remus Lupin stumbles upon his best friends’ son in very much the wrong country, he drags Harry back to England, threatening his freedom and forcing them both to change their ideas of home and family.

Summary
After Harry's escape from the Dursleys the summer he turns thirteen, he has a powerful bout of accidental magic.
The good news: he's not expelled from Hogwarts. The bad news: that's because he looks totally different, and can't be sure anymore that he was ever Harry Potter in the first place.
Now he has a whole extended family he doesn't trust, birth parents he refuses to name in public, and more secrets than he ever wanted to carry. But at least he never has to go back to Privet Drive.

1. Harry had fallen asleep in the Eighth years' dormitory.
2. He wasn't even in the right bedroom at Grimmauld Place.
3. Sirius Black was standing right in front of him, looking very much alive.- Language:

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.

Summary
It is 1977, and He Who Must Not Be Named is ascendant. Hoping to lure out a mighty foe, he organizes a theft of Nurmengard. But as others have discovered before him, it is unwise to play with Grindelwald's possessions...
This fic is H/G, and is set in a slightly-altered from canon reality.

Summary
A process is recursive when it defines or contains itself; e.g., the Fibonacci sequence, which determines the next number as the sum of the previous two.
But not all recursive processes are mathematical. Recursion can happen in a temporal context when, for instance, the powerful magical force that is true love drags you back in time so it can create itself, endangering the fate of the Wizarding World—not to mention the very fabric of space and time—along the way.

Summary
"Harry Potter," Voldemort began, and then was surprised yet again when the boy had the audacity to interrupt the dark lord.
"Sorry to disappoint, but Harry's not here right now," Potter said, smirking slightly.

Harry Potter is not an Obscurial.
Harry Potter is an Obscurial.
Both are technically true-- because in a version of reality where his life is just that little bit worse, Harry Potter is not alone in his head. He's not even the original.
Canon Harry Potter is the split personality, and has no idea there's another personality in his head who is both an Obscurial, and very, very done with all of this nonsense.- Language:

Summary
Severus Snape didn't know what was going on with Harry Potter. One minute he was having a seizure and spending the night in the Infirmary, and the next he was gone. Three weeks later, he witnesses the boy miraculously reappear and slay the Dark Lord. Now he's sitting in Albus Dumbledore's office listening to the boy claim that he's from the future and the Master of Death while Voldemort's corpse hovers beside them. Potter has changed and Severus finds himself landed with a boy who isn't the same irritating brat that he once knew.
This was originally titled The Potion Master's Apprentice, written by Athy and abandoned, up for adoption. She has kindly allowed me to take her beautiful idea into my own hands to do with it as I will. It is still here on AO3 and you should go read it. I've used many of her words, her original concept, and then put my own twist on it. Thank you so much for letting me adopt your story.

Harry Potter and the Persistence of Vision by Marzipan77
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
31 Dec 2020

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.
