Summary
“Harry Potter.”
The cold burrowed into his flesh; the scent of cloying death and molding earth clogged his senses.
“The Boy Who Lived.”
A strange sense of unimaginable loss and disappointment rose inside of Harry. That brilliant, yet cruel boy could’ve been so much more if he’d not stepped down this bloodied path.
Terrible, but great. He pitied this creature.
“Come to die.”
Harry Potter faced the flash of green light with the bravery of a Gryffindor and the broken heart of a Hufflepuff.
When Death gives Harry a third option, one that can save everyone he ever cared about, he takes it unflinchingly. Even when that means doing the impossible: falling in love with the enemy, Tom Riddle.

Draco Malfoy and the Mirror of Ecidyrue by starbrigid
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
31 May 2020
Tags
Summary
All it takes is one look in a mirror and an ill-advised attempt to shatter it, before an embittered Draco Malfoy fresh out of Azkaban is sent back into his body on the day he gets his Hogwarts letter.
Suddenly, Draco has an unwanted second chance, with a Sorting Hat that doesn't know what to do with him, a certain Muggleborn who won't leave his study table alone, and green eyes he just can't get out of his head. And then there's his new wand, whose choice of him could just mark him as every bit as dark a wizard as his name means he should be.

Summary
After uncovering truths that forever change how he sees the war, death, and himself, Harry Potter finds himself standing before a choice that is both impossible—and inevitable.
As the wizarding world burns in battle, an ancient prophecy settles upon his shoulders like a cloak of sacrifice. But just when everything seems sealed by fate, an unexpected encounter with Luna Lovegood rekindles the spark of the unknown.
With cryptic words and an ancestral vow, Luna charts a new path for Harry—one that defies the destiny he thought was his. A silent train, a forgotten spell, and a sacred promise between magical Houses intertwine their fates into something far greater than war: the awakening of a new truth.

Summary
After death Harry expected peace, not a second childhood.
An incident long before his birth has left Death waiting for a suitable master. The world must be balanced, after all, and Harry, unwilling participant that he is, finds himself standing squarely on the scales.
Unfortunately, Death has a flair for the dramatic and seems to enjoy making Harry’s life harder than it needs to be.
or
A classic time-travel fix-it where old enemies become allies, and a meddling old man has sunk his teeth deeper into the wizarding world than anyone ever realized.

Summary
In one universe, Lord Voldemort, the greatest Legilimens in the world, didn't notice that Narcissa Black had lied to him. In another he did.
Getting sent back in time with the mother of the biggest bullying git at Hogwarts was definitely going to make Harry's life interesting. Finding out what some of his so called friends and allies were doing to him and others made him mad.
Perhaps it was time for a new faction in the battle between light and dark. Perhaps it was time for the Grey to rise

Summary
Everyone is curious about the new transfer student and where he came from. James has been loudly proclaiming that he is his and Lily's son and by the way, he and Lily are dating now, for the sake of said son. No one is surprised at the ridiculous declarations, but no one takes them seriously either. It is James Potter afterall. But the attention being given isn't just from the Gryffindors. No, Harry Potter seems to have picked up a few Slytherins after being sorted in with the snakes.
Snape seems to have been tagged as a reluctant acquaintance and Regulus has taken to following him around, curious about where he came from and seemingly smitten as his friends Barty and Evan tag along to see where this is going. Sirius has an issue with that. He isn't about to let the opportunity to get one up on his brother pass him by. So Harry is going to be the reluctant Lily to his James. She gave in eventually, so Harry will too at some point, right? Right? After all, who would prefer little Reggie when the handsome, popular, attractive Sirius Black is giving all his attention out?
Warning: Be prepared for a fluff angst Rollercoaster.

Summary
Harry knew he didn't put his name in the Goblet of Fire, but no one believes him, except for Hermione. Ron abandoned him when he needed him the most and everyone was out to get him for wanting fame, which he never wanted it in the first place. He was done with the wizarding world. He thought he found a place where he belonged, but it turned out the world was against him from the very start. He wanted to leave for good, but how?
Well Harry found a loophole in the Triwizard Tournament. Two actually.
1. A magical guardian can withdraw the unwilling champion.
2. A blood relative - any blood relative, even a distant relative, can take him out of the tournament if they think Harry was put there against his will.
But there is just a couple of problems; It turned out that Dumbledore is his magical guardian and he would wanted Harry to participate in the tournament, which means Dumbledore has control over everything Harry has and is keeping everything tight lip. Also there was no way the Dursley's would help him. They would likely see him die in that death tournament.
If he doesn't participate, he would loose his magic for good.

Summary
When Harry Potter, freshly four-hundred (or so) years old, came to this world, he had not been expecting to fall deeply in love with the dashing gentleman that routinely visited the café from where he drank his tea.
Of course, that was not to imply that Harry would do less than his utmost to woo the object of his sincerest affections.
-
The Bats were in agreement: whoever this "Harry Potter" was, they didn't like him. At all. Who'd this twenty-something year old think he was?! Like hell they'd let their Alfred get stolen away from them by some no-good, seducing little punk.

Summary
“I didn’t expect you to be an Unspeakable,” Zabini said casually, his tone light but curious as he signed the last line. “Everyone was so certain you’d end up as an Auror.”
Harry hummed, glancing up briefly before returning to his form. “I was, actually. Did the full training, served for almost five years… then I got bored.”
Zabini’s laugh broke free this time, rich and surprisingly unrestrained. “Only you, Potter, could find chasing down Dark wizards boring.”
-
His heart dropped like a stone as he took in the familiar walls, the thin mattress he sat atop of, the faint smell of dust and damp wood. His chest tightened as realization dawned.Finally, his gaze dropped to his hands.
Small. Pudgy. Child-like.
“Fuck,” he muttered, his voice trembling as the weight of it all sank in.

Summary
Harry is a child. Why is it his job to save the school? Why is it his job to do anything other than attend classes and do homework?
It’s not his job, but it seems Dumbledore is trying to make it Harry’s job.
And well, after living with the Dursleys so long only to end up under the thumb of a brand new manipulator, can Harry really be blamed for running away?
If no one else sees value in Harry, then it’s Harry’s job to find value in himself. That is a job he can live with.

An eleven-year-old boy goes on a journey of self-discovery and self-love.
Let’s see what happens.(And he also maybe saves the world?)
