Summary
Sirius Black is called to fulfill an ancient duty of House Black assigned by Magic itself, and Harry Potter makes a startling discovery on a visit to Gringotts in the summer before his third year.
Re-write of HP starting from a week after Harry arrives in Diagon Alley in Book 3. Canon is treated very loosey-goosey at best and completely and utterly discarded at worst. Don't read this if you're a big stickler for canon. Not particularly relationship-focused, no pairings have been decided yet but I will tag them once they appear. Heavily dives into my own interpretation of Wizarding nobility and the function of the Ancient and Noble Houses, with some elements borrowed from other fics/fanon elements but nothing is explicitly copied, these are my own ideas that carry influences from the rest of fanon.
Features a Harry that slowly grows into his own role as a powerful wizard and a Sirius that learns to grow up and process his life. I'm going to try and stay away from making characters overpowered, so this isn't quite OP!Harry but it's definitely Powerful!Harry who, by the end of the story, will convincingly be going toe-to-toe with the other powerhouses in the setting.

Summary
After a bout of accidental magic when Harry is six, Vernon goes too far. When Harry wakes up, he is gravely wounded and more than fifty years in the past in another world. After some shuffling, Harry ends up at Wool's. There, he meets Tom Riddle, his mysterious roommate, eventual best friend, and the love of his life.
Inspired by a doctor he meets in the past, Harry is determined to go into medicine and protect other children like himself and Tom. Tom has his own dream of becoming Prime Minister. The boys quickly become inseparable and are determined to help each other down their paths to build a life together.
He wanted Harry. He had never coveted anyone this much.
Tom understood now that some part of him had never given up on having a… friend. Someone who understood him more than anyone else. Someone who would always take his side.
In a flash, he knew he would do anything to have Harry Faye’s loyalty.

Summary
In fourth year, Barty Crouch Jr made a different decision. A decision that would change the Wizarding World forever.
From the time Harry Potter was 11 years old, he became what people expected of him; Gryffindor Golden Boy, Saviour, Boy-Who-Lived, so like his father but with his mother's eyes. But that wasn’t the real Harry Potter. Ten years spent in a cupboard with abusive relatives changes a person. It’s just a shame that Dumbledore didn’t realise this until it was far too late.

Summary
Badly injured in the battle at Ashford, Robert Baratheon is forced to marry Cersei Lannister at Casterly Rock to secure the allegiance, and forces, of the Westerlands during the early stages of the rebellion, against the Targaryen rule. The ensuing pregnancy, and birth, of Harian Baratheon, will forever change the history of Westeros.
In another reality, Harry James Potter takes matters into his own hands. Desperately lonely and fed up of a broken, post-war world, he completes a sacrificial ritual to send him to a new world. His interference changes the direction of Westeros, and its fate, as the dark night closes in and yet another war threatens. His presence in Westeros will change history...and the people around him as he once again stands up as a hero to the world.
A life lived twice, for better or for worse, it matters not, for the price of cheating death is always a high price to pay.

Summary
Tom Riddle isn’t usually intrigued by his classmates. Not unless they have valuable skills or exploitable weaknesses.
Harrison Evans is the exception to that.
(Or: A rather oblivious Tom Riddle’s borderline-obsessive curiosity and impending sexuality crisis over Slytherin house’s newest fifth year)

Rise of the Good Bad Dark Lord (Revamped) by Bokbok3
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
When Lord Voldemort cast the Killing Curse on Lily Potter, he expected victory. Instead, he awoke inside a dark cupboard, staring at a crying child on a small bed. Green eyes met his own. Voldemort stilled. Harry Potter.
But something was… different. He was different. No longer the Dark Lord, but a mere fragment of a soul—a shadow bound to the boy who was destined to be his downfall. And yet, as time passed, as he observed, taught, and guided the child, something unthinkable happened. Affection. Pride. A fierce, undeniable urge to protect, to nurture.
Then, the truth struck like lightning. He was not the true Voldemort. The original still lurked out there, waiting, hunting… for his boy.
No.
Tom would not allow it. He would rise again—as a Dark Lord, or as something far more dangerous.
For the first time in his existence, Lord Voldemort had something he placed above himself. And he would burn the world itself before letting anyone take Harry from him.
In the process of revamping (12/56)
