Summary
"There was not supposed to be a child in the Black family named Altair. The firstborn was supposed to be Sirius. That fact alone was a glaring, terrifying discrepancy."
———
A modern man wakes up in the body of a three-year-old child and immediately realizes two terrifying facts.
One, magic is real.
Two, he is the newly minted heir to the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black.
Or;-
Armed with the foreknowledge of the impending wizarding wars and a dangerously powerful magical core, he realizes he has a choice: become a casualty of pure-blood fanaticism, or change the timeline from the inside out.

Summary
At the age of four, Harry decides anywhere else is better than life with the Dursleys. Running away in the quiet of night, slipping through loopholes in his magical protection, he finds himself the ward of a nomadic curse breaker. For five years, he sees and learns more than he ever could have dreamed of, gaining a true love of independence.
But when Remus Lupin stumbles upon his best friends’ son in very much the wrong country, he drags Harry back to England, threatening his freedom and forcing them both to change their ideas of home and family.

Summary
"There is no good and evil. There is only power, and those too weak to seek it." A philosophy that could have all too easily been adopted by another gifted child with a harsh childhood. Will following this creed take him down the same path as "the most dangerous Dark Wizard of all time" or will he make his own way?
Inspired by Harry Potter and the Boy Who Lived by The Santi

Summary
Greedy is not a word he would describe himself with. Through perhaps it was not that far removed from the truth. He did desire. He desired to know, to understand, to be able to. Once in possession of a singular little piece he could not help but grab the rest with desperate fingers.
And magic, strange and not at all bound by any human morals only rewarded the hunger festering within his dark eyes.
OR: A very curious and overly ambitious man dies and is reincarnated into the wizarding world.

Summary
Tom Riddle has the bright idea to test if he can split someone else's soul without their consent. You know, just to see if he can. Being a teenager, he tries it on the girl he is obsessed with, reasoning that there are worse people to spend immortality with.
This has unintended consequences.
Irene Prince would like to stress the fact that this is not a love story.
(Or, imagine being trapped inside a diary with your least favourite person for fifty years.)

Summary
Rachel Crowley has always kept her past locked away behind a borrowed name and a sharp smile.
But nothing stays buried forever: Especially not when Death Eater names start echoing again at the Quidditch World Cup.
With danger simmering beneath the surface and friends (especially her best friends Fred and George) looking at her like she’s worth trusting, Rachel finds herself at a crossroads: When your identity is something you've spent your whole life hiding, can anyone ever really say they know you?Chapter 1-52: The Goblet Of Fire
Chapter 53-?: The Order Of The Phoenix-----------
This story has lived in my heart for a long time. I've been working on Rachel's character for years and have written large parts of her journey in German—my native language. But only now do I feel ready to share this story in a language that isn’t my own, and I’m both nervous and excited to finally do so.
I’ll be adding tags and content notes as the chapters progress. My goal is to stay as close to canon as possible while weaving Rachel into the existing timeline.
Feedback, thoughts, or even quiet lurking is deeply appreciated.

Summary
*Reposted and rewritten*
Waking up in a burning field was the easy part.
Camille is seventeen, homeless, and apparently dead — or close enough that she is forced to live in someone else's body, wearing her face and answering to a name that's hers, yet isn't.
It's 1944. London is actively on fire. Something in the dark is looking for her, and the only thing she has to her name is a ring that fits too perfectly and a working knowledge of exactly how bad things are about to get.
She knows this story. She's read it. She knows how it ends.
She just didn't expect to be in it.*tags will be added as fic progresses*

Summary
Alya Black has lived a life before this one in which she read a book series called Harry Potter. Since waking up in the wizarding world, she’s decided the ability to commit arson without matches is fun and her brother cries too much. In that order.
Antares Black has lived a life before one this in which he never read the very popular Harry Potter series. Or watched any of the movies. Or took in any media about them except that really catchy puppet song. Why couldn’t it have been Middle Earth? But hey, at least his sister came with him.
Snape, Snape, Severus Snape. Dumbledore!

Summary
In 1993, Gilderoy Lockhart points a stolen wand at Harry Potter and Ron Weasley with the intent to Obliviate them. The wand doesn't backfire. Gilderoy's "discovery" of the Chamber of Secrets is a short-term success.
Other consequences are not short-term at all.
Archived Author's Notes:
I was watching the Chamber of Secrets movie several years back when the scene in question began to play...and immediately I wanted to know what would happen if the wand had done what it was supposed to do. The answer got very complicated, very, *very* quickly.Blame Edgar Allan Poe for the title.
Beta work by Norcumi and Mrs_Stanley. Brit Spellcheck will be performed...soon.
*I use the first 7 books and the Tales of Beedle the Bard as canon, but there are moments from the films used because they left me with fun things to play with.
I do not consent to my work being reposted or used in any unofficial apps or other websites. This work is not posted for anyone's profit.

Summary
Grimmauld has slumbered since the death of one scion and the theft of the other; has lain still, like predator, like hunter, waiting, with only its most fervent and devoted acolyte in its walls. Grimmauld has had time to think and to ponder and to hunger in a way an ancestral seat should absolutely not be allowed to. Trapped.
And then Albus Dumbledore casts the Fidelius.

Summary
The world does not know it is Antares Black, not William Potter, who survived the killing curse on Halloween 1981. The burden of knowledge rests on their fractured family, which must weather the schemes of Lord Voldemort without letting Wizarding Britain know that the taboo broken that night shattered the prophecy they relied on to save themselves.
But secrets have a way of getting out, and the most unlikely of brothers are not above making enemies of each other.
