    Summary

    Petunia wasn't the smart one. Or the pretty one. Or the magical one. But she was cunning, resourceful, and she knew what she wanted from life... and she got it.

    So when her nephew turns up on her doorstep one cold November morning, she sees it as the opportunity that it is.

    ---

    This was an odd little earworm of a plot bunny that wouldn't leave me alone. I'm much more inclined to shorter works, so it's a bit of a patchwork story.

    Note on the tags. Petunia is... Petunia. She is not really 'Nice' or 'Good' but she's not 'Mean' or 'Evil' either. She's a selfish, self-centered woman with a brittle sense of self-esteem and a drive to be recognized as successful in her own right. I tagged it 'Good' because that was the closest I could get to 'not the horrible person from the book, but not really even close to a Molly'.

    Also: I will not be tagging every single person who appears in the fic, only those with reoccurring roles. This is not a bashing fic and I've done as best as possible to give rational(ish) 'good intentions' explanations for the canon shenanigans.

    Summary

    Cedric Diggory’s death shatters Harry Potter and Privet Drive becomes a battleground he cannot survive. Driven to desperation, Harry attempts to end his own life, but the Prophecy and Death Seals react violently, ripping open a dragel inheritance too powerful to contain.

    Now feral and barely conscious, Harry inadvertently summons Maurice Elswood, his dragel mentor.

    What Maurice finds is worse than expected: a tormented child in halfling form, a dead man, two unconscious humans, and a Torvak hunting beacon hidden in the walls of a suburban home.

    Whisked to Nevarah for safety, Harry must recover from forced inheritance and unravel the truth, before those hunting him strike again.

    Summary

    One year after Voldemort killed Lily and James Potter, Severus Snape pays a visit to Number 4 Privet Drive. He has a duty to Lily Evans, the best friend he ever had, and therefore to her son and her sister. He finds himself assuming the role of the child's uncle. As it happens, the friendship between Severus Snape and Petunia Dursley changes both of them, both of their lives, Hogwarts, and their world's future for the better. (It's so much easier to be a good person when you're not clinically depressed, afraid for your family, or stuck in your past trauma).

    This is a lengthy story meandering through Harry's childhood, with eventual plans to see it through his Hogwarts years and a very different resolution to canon. But in the meantime, the goal is cuteness and exploring a world with better-adjusted adults in it.

    Summary

    At age five, Harry Potter discovers that the world has a second layer. A hidden one, made of numbers and windows and things that float in the corners of his vision. He doesn't know what it means yet. He doesn't know a lot of things. But he's always been good at watching, and waiting, and figuring out the rules of a game no one told him he was playing.

    He'll figure this one out too.

    (Or: the one where Harry Potter is not a hero waiting to be discovered. He's something stranger and more deliberate than that. He collects people, and monsters, and truths too sharp to hold safely — and he builds something out of all of it that prophecy never accounted for.)

    Summary

    Harry Potter has always had a presence within him. While others believe it to be Voldemort, and everyone assumes he is the Heir of Slytherin, they are mistaken. Voldemort was not the presence. Instead, Harry possesses ancient memories belonging to Salazar himself. He has realised that allowing the world to believe he is the Heir of Slytherin would be far more beneficial to him than revealing the truth.

    However, the world has changed significantly, and he must do his best to appear normal. Harry Potter is meant to be a normal wizard, after all. He hopes he can simply lead a quiet life.

    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...

    Summary

    We all know how the story is supposed to go. Harry Potter is abused by the Dursleys for years, finds out he's magic, and stumbles his way through years of chaos where things keep trying to kill him.

    Except this time, Harry is rescued from the Dursleys by a certain Russian assassin and raised to kick ass and vanish like a ghost.

    This fic is a wip and might stay that way. Tags will be updated with the fic. Don’t expect a routine posting schedule, the dopamine is in charge and it isn't consistent at all.

    Summary

    In one world, Harry was doused in compulsions and loyalty potions to make him become the Golden Boy-Who-Lived, a puppet of The Great Albus Dumbledore (TM).

    In this world, that never happens. The Dursleys go on a vacation, never to return. It's only when Harry is almost thirteen years old that batty old Sybill Trelawney makes a new prophecy, telling Dumbledore where Harry is.

    What will have happened to Harry in the eight years he was lost? Why does he have a Boomslang for a pet? Why does his cousin wield two goblin-made axes and only speak Silvertongue, the goblin language?

    Be ready for a Grey Alliance that takes on Dumbledore and Voldemort both, Harry taking over the Wizengamot (eventually), and mythical-level magic dealt out by a young man who will do anything to create a safe world for ALL magical beings.

    This is completely self-satisfying Gary-Stu writing that combines like all the tropes - hyphenating names, Wizengamot takeovers, ritual magics, magical holidays, Slytherin politics, the works. Comments with suggestions for improvement are great!

    Summary

    A young Remus Lupin was sent by Albus to try and get the EU Werewolf packs on their side, a futile quest that had totally unexpected consequences for the lonely young Were.

    Or:

    Little Harry Potter is sent to his aunt's house after the attack that killed his parents, supposedly safe behind blood wards, because he is safe as long as he views it as home. But of course that doesn't work, because who are these strangers and where did his actual home go!

    Or:

    You don't turn your back on your pack, yet half his pack are dead, one of them is in Azkaban for their murders, and his cub is missing.

    Oh yeah, Remus is gonna fix the hell out of this right now, or as soon as he fixes a broken potions master and a sick house elf, and oh well, may as well fix a few other things while he's at it.

    Like the world, cause, why not!

    Summary

    An easy rescue goes pear-shaped when the lifeguards of Bondi encounter a kid with some injuries that don't look like they came from the beach. The situation is way outside their training, but they're determined to help.

    OR

    If a fandom has more than 50 fics it has to have a Harry Potter crossover. I do not make the rules.

    Summary

    sirius black was, for want of a better term, spinning out. he'd lost his money, his career, his family, and, most importantly, the love of his life had left him in a banged-up pickup truck on the side of the highway. to say that things weren't going his way was putting it lightly.

    he'd always told remus he'd be more fun to miss, and it seemed that his lover had finally decided to put that to the test.

    Summary

    We've all heard this story before, a young boy hailed as a hero for his mother's deeds and plunged head first into a world of danger and manipulation alone, but what if it was never like that?
    what if he had a twin sister? though not in the way you're imagining, though they are not blood related Harry and Theodosia feel it in their soul's that they are twins, i mean what other explanation would there be? They were born on the same day in the same year and both dumped on the Dursley's doorstep at the same time, they even both had the same freakishness that the Dursley's despised so much.
    or
    Sirius Black has a daughter due to a drunken one night stand and fate is irreversibly altered due to this.

    Summary

    Soon to be eleven year old Harry Potter has his first trip to Diagon Alley, and while it is fun, he spends most of it figuring out how to have a second one, without the encumbrance the ever so nice Hagrid turned out to be!

    Or:

    Severus Snape had a few errands to run and had no idea his entire life was about to be turned upside down, but then again, it wasn't the first time his life was overturned so why fuss.

    Or:

    Harry needs help, Severus has a heart, and maybe together they can forge a brand new life together.

    Worth a try anyway!
