Summary
“Cauldron,” she reminded, tapping her quill against the parchment. “We can get that at Potage’s. Telescope—Harry, do you want the brass one or the collapsible one?”
“Collapsible,” Harry answered immediately. “The brass one is too heavy for travel.”
“Agreed. I’ll make sure you get the quality ones—though I’m still not sure why they still included this when the school provides equipment at the Observation Tower. Scales for potion ingredients, a basic crystal phial set, and—oh, your father insists on dragon-hide gloves.”
“Potions accidents are no joke.” Barty shook his head. “I’ve seen third-years lose eyebrows.”
“I’ll be careful, Dad.”
“Famous last words, really.”
Harry rolled his eyes but smiled.
A week before his 11th birthday, Harry Potter spends a day in Diagon Alley with his adoptive parents, Barty Crouch Jr. and Mikaela Starveil. To acquiring school supplies and to meeting new friends, cheers.

Summary
Fred here. If you are reading this, congratulations on either excellent taste or criminal behaviour. This is the documented history of how my twin brother and I accidentally acquired a small feral celebrity, discovered he had been living on spite and crumbs, and responded in the only reasonable manner: emotional attachment, light surveillance, and increasingly reckless loyalty. There will be schemes, deeply intelligent observations (mine), poor decisions (usually also mine), and the ongoing mystery of why adults keep failing children so consistently. If at any point you think we are overreacting about Harry Potter, you are wrong.
George here, writing because Fred can’t be trusted unsupervised with narration. Let me be clear: if Harry Potter so much as sighs in a suspicious manner, I will notice. If someone hurts his feelings, I will know. If someone hurts him, I will become difficult to prosecute. He has the tragic habit of acting like crumbs are feasts and kindness is charity, which is frankly offensive to me personally. So yes, we fuss. Yes, we hover. Yes, we would cheerfully commit several light felonies for his wellbeing. That is called love, and if you’ve got a problem with it, form a queue.

Very good. A lovely look at a different way things could have gone had Harry had a chance to learn more science before hogwarts.

Summary
Harry’s occlumency reveals his disturbing home life which sets off a chain reaction that cannot be undone. Snape finds himself begrudgingly caring about the bespectacled boy, Harry discovers what it's like to have adults who care, and Hermione finds herself becoming an accidental crime lord. Draco Malfoy is very much along for the ride, in all senses of the word.
A ridiculous blend of hilarity and tragedy, Another Mind Game is the multi-faceted fanfiction you didn't know you wanted but will absolutely adore.
Featuring a sassy Harry Potter, good friends, and a great deal of sarcasm.
There are also ridiculous endnotes if you make it far enough. (You can do it!)

Wonderful. Intelligent and contented Harry. Calmed and freed Snape. Even thoughtful and cared for Tom being accompanied to the after by Cedric.
