Summary
Harry is looking forward to a summer free of Sirius Black. And he gets it—but not without his Defense tutor, who has begun to study esoteric magic, giving Harry the bad news that he’s a Horcrux. The race is on to remove the Horcrux from Harry and defeat Voldemort. Because the one thing Harry’s not going to do is die.
(Note: the rating is for violence).
This is the sixth entry in my “These Creatures” series, following “Creatures of Worth,” “Creatures of Pride,” “Creatures of Strength,” “Creatures of Truth,” and “Creatures of Faith.” Don’t try to read this without reading those first. As well, be advised that this is an extremely dark fic.

Summary
It's Summer and just when Hermione's life is about to begin, it falls apart.
Despite resisting any contact with the outside world since the very public fallout, she is cajoled to go clubbing by her loyal band of friends. She only has a couple of requisites. It must be absolutely muggle and/or completely anonymous.
Ginny Weasley knows just the place.
Meanwhile, Draco has fully embraced the Muggle world and as part of that, he goes to the same club every week. The aim? Go where no one knows his name and/or no one can find him. Especially his parents.
But a city as vast as London is smaller than anyone thinks, even if it feels like you're nothing but a Stranger in a Room.
A Wet Hot Dramione Summer 2025 ficlet.

Harry Potter and the Path of Restraint by Finariona
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
22 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary
Harry, Ron, Hermione, Padma, Neville and Luna form in the Fall of sixth year a secret circle dedicated to magical virtue, restraint, and clarity—taking vows that begin to alter not only themselves, but the very magic around them. And they start seeing a lot of Madam Pince.
Meanwhile, Draco Malfoy—trapped in his own secret obligations--can’t stop noticing that Potter is acting weird. Not explode-a-classroom weird. Worse. Serene. With help from black-market Extendable Ears and a growing suspicion that Harry might actually be doing something important, Draco accidentally overhears more than he bargained for… including a solution to his own problems, if he can only swallow his pride and maybe, just maybe, talk to a Gryffindor without hexing them.
As ancient vows are sworn under the moonlight, and the Circle of Six becomes Hogwarts’ most clandestine self-improvement club, the real battle begins--between what’s easy and what’s right.
There’s exorcism by candlelight, phoenix cries at dusk, and enough awkward honesty to make a Hufflepuff blush.
Power is shifting. So is friendship. And no one—not even Malfoy—is walking away unchanged. Canon compliant up to end of fifth year. -

Summary
Pandemic took away his life but not his spirit. Our Character gets a chance at life again and he promises himself to grab the opportunities like never before but uh-uh where or most importantly when is he? The late 1800s? Victorian Era? Magic? Black family? Hogwarts? What is happening, is he that lucky? Or are there plots and traps hidden at every turn? Let's join our hero or is he a villain in his journey TOWARDS GREATNESS.
This is not a story based on Hogwarts Legacy or in any way related to it right now. I'd inform you if that changes somewhere down the line if Hogwarts legacy's plot is interesting enough.

Summary
What would happen if Harry realized not one of his parent' friends came to check on him? What if he believes the Potter's friends don't care, because his parents were what the Dursleys said they were, or worse, didn't care themselves?
I don't want this to be complete Angst, so yes, Harry has ONE person he trusts, Hermione.

Summary
In the summer after Draco's fourth year, he has a dream: of a better, richer, happier Hogwarts. His guide is an adult Cedric Diggory who tells him it is no mere dream - that Draco is visiting another world, in which Hogwarts is all Draco dreamed of. In that world, Cedric did not die at 17.
Dream Cedric tells him that Draco has been brought there because he has a chance to make his own world into something better.
"Draco, you’re here to see what could happen if you are brave enough to make a choice to be your best self, and then, to go to Harry. To stay even if he rejects you once or twice. To persevere, knowing what could happen if you do. And then, maybe, that changes Hogwarts too. I think it does. As for Hogwarts to pull me and you? That means there is no one else who can do anything to change the path your Hogwarts is on. So. Up to you.”

Summary
“Who did this to you?”
This is the question Sirius Black asks Hermione when she appears, bloodied and battered on his doorstep in the dead of night after she flees her relationship with Ron.
Will Sirius be able to pick up the broken pieces?
T/W for domestic violence. Major Ron bashing. Set seven years after the war.

Summary
Two families decide to go into hiding together, and the decision changes everything. Two children orphaned, a prophecy left open ended. A grandmaster decides to reset the board.
In a world where everyone acted a bit smarter, it wasn't just the events of Halloween 1981 that changed, but the events following Ginevra Weasley's acquisition of Tom Riddle's diary was altered as well. The diary wasn't just a horcrux, it was a fail-safe as well. Tom was said to be one of the smartest minds ever attended Hogwarts after all.
A very different, very vast AU.
