Summary
When Harry returned for his fifth year, still haunted by Voldemort’s return and Cedric’s lifeless face, he never expected the shock awaiting him. A boy far too tall to be a first-year stood to be sorted—broad shoulders, jet-black hair, and a face almost too handsome to be real.
Tom Riddle.
But this wasn’t the Tom Riddle Harry remembered. This boy claiming himself Magnus Thomas Riddle, was so startlingly different from Voldemort. His smile was warm, his kindness genuine, and his actions untainted by darkness. As Harry watches this supposed son of Voldemort forge his own path, he realises that while Magnus may be his father’s reflection, he is unbound by the shadows his father cast.

Summary
When Harry wakes in the past, he’s determined to change everything - to save lives, stop the war before it begins, and rewrite the ending for a boy who was never given a chance. But building trust with a young Severus Snape is more than strategy - it’s friendship, and maybe something Harry never expected to find.
Together, they’ll hunt Horcruxes, challenge destiny, and find healing in a world not yet broken.

The next thing she knows, she's waking up in her cruel and bitter older sister's house -- in her son's body.

Harry Potter and Why Would You Keep That In A School? by AvocadosOnToast
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
09 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
A rewrite of Harry Potter where things make a little more sense. Three eleven-year-old kids aren't enough to take down a magical troll, Harry Potter acts like how a real kid would when he learns magic is real, he thinks for himself and his abuse isn't used as a sad backstory to make him a better hero, not every “good guy” is sorted into Gryffindor, and Harry's going to get to act like a normal teenager. Well, as normal as Harry Potter can be.
(Title and summary are subject to change, just getting things posted for now!)

Summary
When twenty-four-year-old Harry Potter accidentally triggers a dark artifact in Grimmauld Place, he's thrown back to January 1982—into a world where his parents just died and his infant self suffers with the Dursleys. Desperate to adopt young Harry, he strikes a deal with Dumbledore: pose as Harrison Burke, prove his stability as Hogwarts' new DADA professor for one year, and demonstrate he won't vanish back to his timeline.
But proving himself means helping someone unexpected—a young, self-destructive Severus Snape who's barely surviving in the aftermath of Lily Potter's death

Summary
Five years after the war, Auror Harry Potter touches the Mirror of Erised and wakes up in James Potter's body on the Hogwarts Express—eleven years old, first year, 1971.
Sorted into Slytherin instead of Gryffindor, Harry becomes the unlikely protector of young Severus Snape. He doesn't bully. He doesn't follow house divisions. He sits at the Gryffindor table with his mother and refuses to leave Severus alone.
But changing the past is complicated. Older students notice. Lucius Malfoy notices. And as the years pass, Harry realizes the boy who shadows him everywhere—brilliant, loyal, defensive Severus—has become something more than a friend.

Summary
"This is how you know if someone's Black by blood."
The memory of Cygnus putting their cut palms together and showing them that familiar burn flashed before her eyes. The Black family's blood magic.Set in Deathly Hallows. Hermione turned out to be Bellatrix's daughter. How would it affect the war? Would it make their life easier or transform it into a leaving hell? And most importantly, who is the father?
In my humble opinion, the fic gets better at fourth chapter, but it's just me. (Yep, I'm trying to manipulate you into reading till the fourth chapter at least)

Summary
When seven-year-old Harry Potter speaks to a serpent in the London Zoo, he doesn’t just unlock a door; he draws the attention of someone watching. Morticia Addams, matriarch of the famously macabre Addams Family, recognizes the signs of suppressed magic and wounded potential. Upon discovering the boy’s name and the cruelty he’s endured, she makes a decision with all the grace and finality of a guillotine.
Harry Potter is coming home with them.
Raised among poison gardens, swordplay at breakfast, and cousins who play with guillotines instead of toys, Harry finds something in the Addams manor he never knew existed: a family that not only accepts the dark, strange parts of him, but celebrates them. Under the watchful eyes of Morticia and Gomez, alongside Wednesday, Pugsley, Thing, and the rest of the delightfully eerie household, Harry grows into something the wizarding world never expected.
Confident. Unafraid. Powerful.
So when Hogwarts finally comes calling, they are not prepared for this Harry Potter, and he is no longer alone...- Language:

the chronological compilation of all the 'do or do not' snippets and ficlets
Summary:
When Obi-Wan dies by Anakin's hand, he expects that to be the end.
It is not.
When he opens his eyes again, all of thirteen but with forty extra years of experience, not even the dust, dread, and death on Melidaan can stand in his way. Obi-Wan had seen the worst that the galaxy had to offer twice over - he'll be damned if he lets everything happen the same way for the second time.
Enter one Jedi Master Yan Dooku, the lynchpin to so many of the galaxy's darkest turns in the future-that-was. Torn between a Master who doesn't seem to want him and a man wearing the face of the Sith who had once tortured him, Obi-Wan makes a choice.
Everything changes.

Summary
What if Sirius had chosen to put his moping aside and stepped up as Harry’s godfather at the beginning of the fifth book?
What if Harry had been expelled for a moment and therefore had to be sorted again?
What if they were both prepared for him to not return to the house of lions?
Also, if he is a prophesied savior of the wizarding world, he better have some kind of special magical attributes.
This is part of the Rightful Anger series as that is a main theme explored through the story. Harry has a lot of people to be angry at and a lot of things to feel angered by. Not a continuation of A Chill In the Kitchen.

Summary
“Where did your rescuer go?”
“Me'ven? He was just here… I owe him a life debt.”
“Goodluck trying to tell him that.” A nearby foodtender muttered, “He’s of the Old Way. They don’t accept life debts.”
“A Traditionalist?”
“Nyac. The Olden Way.” The Mando shrugged.
The Olden Way held different values from most Resol’nare. Their Creed kept their Ways close, they kept their secrets with their lives. It was difficult to find information on them because they themselves were hard to find. They were ghosts.
The only reason Jaster knew that much was because one of his closer Verde was once of a Covert. His Creed was broken and while he sought Redemption to return in the beginning, he found his soulmate who was not of his Creed.
“Olden Way or not, our tendons have granted him the life debt of my ad and me. One for saving his life, and one because I failed to be there to protect it.” Jaster muttered. “We’ll find him.”
—-Timetravel + Soulmate Au
In which Jaster is a simp for his very pretty, very confused Mandalorian soulmate. Din is just confused why his ship is suddenly considered modern and why fuel is suddenly cheap.Series

"I think I want to take over Britain." Harry said, smiling into the chilled breeze as the sun set. "How about it?" He glanced over at Tom, still sitting by his side.
"We could." Tom replied, "But it would be hard."
"Not if we worked together." Harry said, "Grindelwald was alone. You were alone before. This time, we'll be together." Tom examined him closely, his hazel eyes gazing into Harry's green for a long searching moment.
"Alright." Tom said finally, a smile gracing his face. "Let's do it."

Summary
The chalk piece hovered next to the board and he took a breath before beginning.
"Imagine that Lord Voldemort is still in power now. You don't know who his supporters are, you don't know who is working for him and who isn't: you know that he can control people so that they do terrible things without being able to stop themselves. You're scared for yourself, and your family, and your friends. Every week, news comes of more deaths, more disappearances, more torturing."
His hands had come up, gesturing with each sentence. The students hung on every word.
"The Ministry of Magic is in disarray, they don't know what to do, they're trying to keep everything hidden from the Muggles, but meanwhile, the Muggles are dying too. Terror everywhere... panic... confusion... that's how it used to be."
Lupin paused, hands frozen in the air.
Then he continued, "That is, until the night of October 31st, 1978."
