Summary
The past remembers every cowardice and every chance not taken.
Haunted by the ruin his cowardice helped unleash, Cornelius Fudge is thrust back to the night Cedric Diggory dies and Lord Voldemort returns. At first, he can make no sense of it - whether it is dream, punishment, afterlife, or impossible mercy - but as the past begins to bend beneath his choices, confusion gives way to a fragile, dangerous hope. For the first time, Cornelius is forced to confront not only the truth he once denied, but the possibility that history has offered him one last chance to be braver than he was before.
Cornelius must decide whether this second chance is truly redemption - or simply another, crueller way to fail.
Because this time, if he fails, he will do so knowing exactly who is going to die.Bookmarked by xchng

Gimlili - Harry Potter and the Hunt for Happiness
Really well written and great attention to detail, subscribing and will definitely read again in full when finished. Love Slytherin-Hufflepuff Harry, his foster parents Andromeda and Ted, and the building influence of Arcturus Black in the background. My only worry is that this great story might never be finished.

Summary
Draco couldn’t handle it anymore. During the summer before his eighth year, his father banished him from Malfoy Manor and the Malfoy family, and Draco had no choice but to go live with the only person he knew who lived in Muggle London. Hermione Granger.
Or: Draco in the Muggle World being forced to do things the Muggle way and being incredibly confused by it, but it’s okay; Harry finds him adorable. But Harry is also confused by Draco’s lack of knowledge of Muggle things, and is pretty on the nose about the wizarding world when poking fun at Hermione :) Oh, and Hermione ships it <3

This short story series with a Muggle Alpha Harry/Omega Draco pairing deserves to be a favorite on premise alone. I wish this was 200k words long.

Great premise with a confident and powerful Harry who refuses to play by the rules anymore. Brutal. However, some storylines are a bit wild or unnecessary for me (Ron conflict). Still makes it to the favorites.

Summary (Spoilers!):
Blood Feud by Thek1llerRabb1t
After thwarting an assassination attempt by his Slytherin dorm mates, Harry utilizes his status as the newly emancipated Lord Potter-Black to declare the forbidden ancient law of Blood Feud against five prominent Pureblood families, leading to duels where he systematically eliminates the Death Eater patriarchs and their sons, culminating in the unique resolution of the long-standing Weasley-Malfoy feud by granting Arthur Weasley the honor of executing Lucius Malfoy, which consequently elevates the Weasley family back into the prestigious Sacred 28 families.
Dumbledore has failed the uncontrollable Harry, now tries to build trust with him, and introduces him to Gellert Grindelwald. Harry learns that Dumbledore is terminally ill from a Withering Curse contracted while destroying a Horcrux, and together they hunt the final soul anchors, leading Harry to retrieve and eventually unite all three Deathly Hallows (the Cloak, Resurrection Stone, and Elder Wand), surrendering them directly to Death (personified as the teenage girl "Dee") after realizing their corrupting influence.
Following Voldemort's demise and a deal with Fate, Harry enforces several drastic, unique resolutions: he burns Malfoy Manor to the ground to deny the Dark Lord a base, captures Bellatrix Lestrange, subjects her to a complete mind-wipe, and places her in a muggle asylum, and most strikingly, kidnaps her newborn daughter (Voldemort's heir) to perform a blood ritual naming her Delphine Peverell and ensures Narcissa adopts her, before Harry ultimately accepts a new, lonely destiny as Death's "ferryman," traveling the world to eliminate those who attempt to cheat the final destination, wielding the Hallows which Dee returned to him as part of their pact.

Bookmarker's Notes
This probably is the best 'reading Harry Potter' fic I read so far. The shock about Harry's abuse by the Dursleys is not a main focus (which makes other fics seem like a "poor Harry" reaction story). The reading has real world consequences before it is even finished (Fudge gets murdered for example). There is also the interesting mystery of how the books came into existence: Rowling exist as a Muggle in these books from the future and Voldemort tries to take her out.
The third book became less interesting and I only skimmed over it because the pacing could be better, but I will definitely revisit this fic when it's finished!

Summary (Spoilers!):
Book 1:
When Dolores Umbridge discovers a set of seven prophetic books about Harry Potter in the Room of Requirement and reads Philosopher’s Stone aloud to the school, the revelations—including Harry’s abuse by the Dursleys, Dumbledore’s role in abandoning him there, and Quirrell’s possession by Voldemort—spark a political firestorm, leading to Dumbledore’s flight from arrest and Umbridge’s own downfall when Amelia Bones intervenes to grant Harry and his allies legal immunity.The books’ accuracy forces the staff to confront their past failures, with McGonagall and Snape deducing they originate from a future closed time loop (possibly involving Harry himself), while Harry strategically embraces the readings to preemptively expose Voldemort’s return and clear Sirius Black’s name. The climax reveals the Ministry’s corruption under Fudge, as Umbridge’s attempt to suppress the truth backfires when Harry produces his own copy of the book, forcing Bones to dismantle the charges against Dumbledore and Hagrid—while also exposing the staff’s incompetence (like Quirrell’s unchecked possession) and setting the stage for future readings to be weaponized as both a political and wartime tool.
Book 2:
Harry actively pushes for the public reading of Chamber of Secrets to expose Lucius Malfoy’s crimes, and the revelations (including Dobby’s warnings, Malfoy slipping Riddle’s diary to Ginny, and the Basilisk attacks) force McGonagall (now interim headmistress) to fire Filch for child endangerment and admit Dumbledore’s desperate hiring of Lockhart, while the staff grapple with their past negligence in the original timeline.The book’s details about Polyjuice Potion, Hermione’s research, and Harry’s duel with the Basilisk (and destruction of the Horcrux-diary) not only vindicate the trio’s actions but also lead to the suspension of their Occlumency lessons, as the staff now believe the books will accelerate the war’s end. Lucius Malfoy’s legal jeopardy grows as the public reading provides circumstantial evidence of his involvement, though his political connections delay his arrest—while the staff privately realize the books’ strategic value, using them to preempt future threats like the D.A.’s exposure or Kreacher’s betrayal before they occur.
