Summary
By day, Harry works in a music shop, fighting boredom and the occasional difficult customer. By night, he leaps across rooftops and cracks safes, fighting the occasional owner of the valuables he’s stealing.
One such owner is Tom Riddle, a gangster who is certainly not willing to let Harry just get away with it.
And not because Harry has stolen something important.Or has he?

Summary
Voldemort never rose, with Tom Riddle taking the position of Head of the Wizarding Examinations Authority instead. When Harry Potter’s parents and the rest of the Marauders die in a mysterious magical accident near the end of his fifth year, Harry withdraws from Hogwarts and goes home to become the guardian of his younger siblings—never dreaming that his path and Riddle’s will entwine again years later.

Summary
Orphaned and having no tolerance for Muggles, Harry arrives at Hogwarts a bitter boy. Unusually intelligent, he's recruited by both the Unspeakables and the Death Eaters at a young age. His loyalty, however, is not to the Ministry nor to the Death Eaters, but to the cause of bettering himself and becoming his own force in the Wizarding world.
As he grows older, he constantly has to struggle to keep his footing around a manipulative and bored Dark Lord who fancies mind games and questionable entertainment.

Where Harry is the bastard child Izar who grows into an incredibly intelligent force to be reckoned with.
Can stop reading after book 1 (Hogwarts).

Summary
Harry Potter has always been different, and his strange connection to plants marks him as the freak his Aunt and Uncle always claimed he was. The wizarding world was supposed to be an escape, but even there, he must hide the truth of his abilities. His magic doesn’t fit the rules, and secrets have a way of growing wild.
(If only there was someone who understood...)
A re-telling of the books in which Harry has more than one power the Dark Lord knows not. -

Summary
Harry didn’t understand why Voldemort had suggested their marriage as a solution to the war. He didn’t understand why his friends were supporting the suggestion. But he goes into it, trying to be as numb as possible, trying to retreat into his mind and just let the world play out around him—no matter how difficult that is.
