    Summary

    One summer day, he sees Voldemort on his neighbor's roof. And it all came crashing down.

    Armed with a stabbed diary that oddly brings him comfort and a ring that feels important, Harry is ill-equipped for the summer ahead.

     

    On his neighbour’s roof, staring directly at him, was Voldemort.

    It would be comical if it wasn’t for the struggling muggle teen in his grasp.

    Mockingly, Voldemort held up a scrap of parchment. ‘Surrender yourself, or the muggle perishes.’

    Harry ducked away from the glass and got his writing supplies out. He held the parchment to the wall as he wrote, with a quill this time.

    ‘I don’t negotiate with terrorists. I’m going back to bed.’

    He wiggled it into the corner and left the sight of the window. There was a strangled scream he tried to block out. In bed, he piled his blanket over his ears. Bottom of the line, he needed sleep.

    And who was he to intervene? Every damned time he did, the person ended up dead or injured. Cedric, Sirius, and countless other friends had suffered under his supervision.

    Harry was done playing saviour.

    Summary

    The moment the Goblet of Fire spat Harry's name out, it was second year all over again. Shunned by most of Hogwarts and made out to be an attention-seeking liar, he feels more isolated than ever.

    In the vacuum void of the heart-wrenching realisation that he'll never fit in, his new defense professor and that man's mysterious mentor manage to fill a hole in Harry's soul he hadn't known existed. And just like that, he finds himself... slipping.

    Summary

    There is a picture in one of the books of a worn young man, heavily scarred with gentle eyes. Remus Lupin, he is identified as. The man who was watching Charles, and presumably Harry. The man who died defending them. Harry traces his fingertips over the man’s face and wonders.

    And then he stops, and reels all those thoughts into a tangled knot and tucks it away.

    They didn’t want him; that’s fine. He doesn’t want them either.

    Alternatively; Harry James Evans is Sorted Slytherin, desperate to stay hidden from the family that gave him up so many years ago. Severus Snape owes debts to a child presumed dead and the child's tormented godfather; and now he has a cunning, paranoid snake to charm all without tipping anyone else off to the boy's true identity.

The newspapers were slandering him so much that he couldn't step foot in the Wizarding World without being shouted at. His mind healer kept trying to get him to feel his feelings instead of pushing them down. Granger wouldn't stop bloody annoying him. But he was fine... so why couldn't he stop thinking about dying?

Not only is he stuck with people he very much never wanted anything to do with again, but they keep trying to get him to reveal all his secrets.

    (technically part of a series but you don't have to read the other fics to understand this one. More detailed description in the notes.)

    Summary

    Marcus Flint is a loner.

    That is, until a green-eyed damsel enters his compartment aboard the Hogwarts Express. A muggle-raised saviour, with little knowledge of his heritage, returning to the world after ten years.

    Innocent, and so incredibly naïve. A lamb unknowingly entering into the wolves’ den.

    Marcus never saw himself becoming a protector, but a protector he becomes one.

    Especially, as manipulations unravel and world-shattering revelations are discovered, the damsel known as Harry Potter finds himself at the centre of a race to save magic from the delusions and degeneracy of two zealots fighting for dominance over the other.

    A daunting challenge for the one proclaimed as the Boy-Who-Lived, but one he will not have to fight alone.

    Not with his knight in Slytherin silver and green by his side.

    Summary

    Dying and coming back to life for a second time should have been more surprising. Harry Potter merely sighed in exasperation and moved on.

    Death at thirty was not something he was entirely happy with, but he had lived a lot longer than he could have hoped for at fifteen years old. Waking up after was annoying, but in such a chaotic situation he could only roll with it.

    Having a wizard with a whisper of Destiny about him wondering about Harry's existence in this wild new world was bad enough, but to these people he was considered a child. Nope, he was not going to be staying with them.

    Harry Potter had not been a child in a very long time; he would not start acting like one now.

    OR

    Harry Potter crashes into the Company of Thorin Oakenshield in Goblin Town, finds out he’s now an elf-child, coming back to life after death is a fact of elf-life, Music equals Magic, and dark lords are a universal constant whenever and wherever magic is involved.

    Summary

    In the summer preceding his 5th year, Harry’s forced into a trip with the Dursleys to Spinner’s End to meet one of Petunia’s old friends, and while he’s there, he gets hit by a car.

    The author wants you to consider Harry’s luck. No, seriously, ruminate on it for a second. Now, the author wants you to guess who might’ve just run him over.

    Yeah. That’s right. Severus Snappy himself.

    Oh man. Sure do wonder what’ll happen next.

    Summary

    Harry has always known that there's something wrong with him.

    He's contaminated. Broken. Tainted.

    A long time ago You-Know-Who broke into his house to try to kill him and his twin brother, and while Charles Potter saved the day and vanquished He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, Harry got corrupted by Dark soul magic.

    It is too dangerous for him to live with his family, to risk contaminating The Boy Who Lived before Charles has the chance to destroy Voldemort once and for all.

    Because Harry Potter is dangerous.

    He infects everyone around them, turning them evil.

    That's why he must be kept away.

    That's why Sirius drinks too much, knocks him around, and sneaks into his room at night.

    He doesn't want to be, but Harry knows that he's bad.

    He knows that, but it still hurts to be pushed away.

    Maybe Hogwarts will be better...

    Maybe Charles can save him before it's too late.

    Summary

    It's not until the cupboard door swings open that Harry realizes he's not in his four-poster bed at Grimmauld sleeping off a hangover next to a naked and gratuitously busty Pansy Parkinson.

    He's back in his cupboard with an incredibly irate Aunt Petunia staring down at him swinging a frying pan at his head.

    He ducks, on instinct, and pulls the covers back over his head.

    His hands are—he can't remember the last time they were that small.

    What the fuck is going on?

    *

    It’s 12 years after the war has ended that Death sends Harry back in time to fix the timeline and save his soulmate.

    Except there's one catch.

    Harry has to start over again from his first year.
