Summary
Once upon a time, Harry Potter hid for two hours from Dudley in a chemistry classroom, while a nice graduate student explained about the scientific method and interesting facts about acids. A pebble thrown into the water causes ripples.
Contains, in no particular order: magic candymaking, Harry falling in love with a house, evil kitten Draco Malfoy, and Hermione attempting to apply logic to the wizarding world.

Summary
For the last few weeks, Bennett Morrison and his friends have been trapped in the Abyss, an endless expense of nothingness doted with small islands of life. Surrounded on all sides by mystery and danger, they've survived thanks to their connections with Wills--godlike beings whom have granted them incredible power, at the cost of fusing their souls.
Bennett has become keenly aware of this fusion since he arrived in the Abyss. How could he not, when his body continues to change by the day? How could he, when the face he sees in the mirror looks nothing like the one he grew up with, when he has increasingly become her?
It's a confusing, terrifying existence, but its one Bennett has become used to--and, perhaps, even started to enjoy, in part.
But what does he do when, suddenly, it stops? What does it mean when he wakes up back home, like nothing has changed? What does it mean when everyone else returns to normal? No powers, no Wills, no changes...
Except for him.

Summary
Children’s hair sometimes changes color as you grow. When he’s young enough for it not to be unusual, but old enough to know he’ll get in trouble for doing something ‘freakish’ again, Harry's hair goes from his father's dark locks to his mother's bright, most-likely-magical red hair.
It changes everything about who he identifies with, who he wants to grow up to be, and who he thinks he is. Instead of having James Potter as his idol, Lily turns out to be a much better influence.
So instead of seeing a scruffy, most-likely-muggleborn boy standing beside him in Madam Malkin's before their first year, Draco only has eyes for the scarlet-haired, green-eyed creature who just walked into his life. Not that Harry will ever notice, given he's trying to simply survive Hogwarts.Story Discord: https://discord.gg/8b7zt5PBHp
