    Summary

    This is my Harry Potter retelling, where Harry is a shy, kind, but traumatized quiet child. Lots of inter-house friendships and poor, underappreciated Hufflepuffs.

    Summary

    Padfoot remains watching, because it’s not fair.

    It’s not fair in the way the boy’s shoulders hunch around him, tense despite the threat being over. In the way his dark and not light green eyes are dim with exhaustion, yet remain alert and calculating at the trunk and broomstick at his feet. The way the boy is but a mirror to another boy who was freshly sorted into Gryffindor and warned not to come home for the holidays. It’s not fair in the way he reminds Padfoot of a boy who left the home which was never a home the day he turned of age. Which wasn’t fair. Because Harry Potter was the son of Lily and James Potter. James Potter, who was Padfoot’s brother and dead solely because of him.

    Amongst many things, Sirius Black was selfish. And a glimpse amongst bushes was not enough.

    Or, Sirius Black decides to intervene when Harry Potter leaves the Dursleys the summer before his third year.

    Summary

    Harry Potter had just turned 40 years old in the year 2020. His kids were off to Hogwarts, with James starting his sixth year, Albus his fourth, and Lily her second. Life had gone on with Harry making his way through the Auror department and becoming head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

    But at 40, life at Hogwarts had proven it wouldn't just stand still. After an incident with his daughter, Harry met with Draco Malfoy after a taxing and grueling month long Board of Governors meeting over the incident that would have seen their sons expelled. Not that Harry would ever let that happen. Still, the incident proved to Harry he couldn't avoid the position that so called to him.

    Naturally, right as he was setting up to accept the DADA position, everything had to go dead wrong when the very reason for his daughter's near death and son's explosion decided to try and ruin Harry's life. In the past. Supposedly...

    He was rather confused by this turn of events, too.

    Summary

    In another universe, the Daily Prophet’s slander might’ve gone unnoticed and used only as lining for an owl cage but in this one, Harry Potter reacts differently to the realisation that he’s once again isolated, neglected, and left to fend for himself. The summer after 4th year, as he’s plagued by nightmares, reality, and everything in between, Harry makes a decision—things will be different. He’ll make it so.

    x

    A story about growing up, realising & utilising one’s power, and loads of godson-godfather bonding. Harry finds out he can do a lot more than he’s been allowed to so far, and takes complete advantage of it.

    Summary

    After Fred, George, and Ron rescue Harry from the Dursley’s his second year, Fred and George are appalled by what they discover.

    The bars on Harry’s window, the cat flap at the bottom of his door, the multiple locks on the outside of said door, and the cupboard under the stairs where Harry’s trunk was locked that had multiple drawings obviously drawn by a child, a small cot, and a sign that read “Harry’s Room”. Then there’s the fact that anytime someone moves too fast or speaks too loudly, Harry flinches.

    The twins knew their parents wouldn’t take them seriously. But they needed to get Harry help.
    Enter Bill Weasley, the twins' eldest brother, curse breaker extraordinaire, and overall badass.

    The twins knew they could tell Bill and that he would do something to help. The week before they leave for Hogwarts, Fred and George set their plans in motion once everyone is asleep. They fire call Bill and tell him everything.

    What they didn’t expect was for Bill to obtain custody of Harry and wreak havoc upon those responsible for the way Harry has been mistreated. Or for ancient magic to be invoked for the judgement of those complicit and/or responsible.
