Summary
There is a picture in one of the books of a worn young man, heavily scarred with gentle eyes. Remus Lupin, he is identified as. The man who was watching Charles, and presumably Harry. The man who died defending them. Harry traces his fingertips over the man’s face and wonders.
And then he stops, and reels all those thoughts into a tangled knot and tucks it away.
They didn’t want him; that’s fine. He doesn’t want them either.
xxx
Alternatively; Harry James Evans is Sorted Slytherin, desperate to stay hidden from the family that gave him up so many years ago. Severus Snape owes debts to a child presumed dead and the child's tormented godfather; and now he has a cunning, paranoid snake to charm all without tipping anyone else off to the boy's true identity.

Summary
When Harry Potter received his Hogwarts letter, he found out the terrible truth; his parents abandoned him, the world thought him dead, and he had a younger twin brother who was hailed as a hero. His parents were public figures who would not like to see their dirty secret resurface. His godfather, the only person who might care about his continued existence, had split from the Potters and left Britain soon after. Harry could contact him, but did not want to risk facing another rejection. Fear won out: he entered Hogwarts under an assumed name. He Sorted Ravenclaw and never let himself look at Charlie Potter, the Boy-Who-Lived in Gryffindor. He focused on his studies and his friends. For three years, he didn't make waves.
He entered fourth year expecting much of the same. Then the Triwizard tournament was announced, and the papers claimed that Sirius Black would be accompanying the Durmstrang delegation.

Summary
After dying on the job a month before his 25th birthday, Harry Potter is offered three choices: return, move on, or go Back; back to a time before the Second War, a time where he can change things for the better, where he can protect Magic from the scourge of Voldemort's final grab for power, a time where he can give a younger version of himself love he'd never known.
Harry grabs at the opportunity, more than ready to right the wrongs of the past, but he doesn't think to ask how it'll work or where he'll be dropped. He doesn't think to ask Death where he'd come from or how he'd fit into this new world.
Now, living as Harrison Peverell alongside Theo and Teddy who travelled Back with him, Harrison has to figure out how to move forward in a world where his mere presence has already begun to shift the script, where simply rewriting history won't be quite as simple as it seemed.

Summary
What would happen if Harry Potter decided not to be the hero everyone expects him to be?
Enter a world where magic isn't just about casting spells, but an ancient culture of etiquette, votes in the Wizengamot and forgotten traditions. Harry Potter returns at the age of eleven with the awareness of an adult and a clear plan: to live the life he has always wanted and dismantle the stagnation of the wizarding world in the process.
No Gryffindor. No blind rivalry with Slytherin. Harry creates a “Study Group” that is actually an elite academy: from Sue Li's duelling sports to Daphne Greengrass's politics lessons, to the rediscovery of Neville's talent. Between a football match with the Slytherins and a critical analysis of Dumbledore's decisions, Harry is building the future. But time is running out, and Voldemort's shadow is not the only danger to watch out for.

Summary
The former Death Eaters are dying of a curse. There's no cure, but Draco Malfoy and Theo Nott have a plan. After all, you can't be cursed by a Dark Mark that you never received, and Theo likes playing with time.
This was inspired by a throwaway comment in Chapter Two of Post Owls where Hermione wished for a time turner to save the boys before Draco was marked. Somewhere along the way it turned into a time-travelling Theomione.

Summary
The order meeting had gone well, and James Potter ran over the details in his head as he cleared cups of half-drunk tea from his dining table. He had gathered a tidy stack of cups to deliver to the kitchen when an enormous crack sounded throughout the room, as if an entire army had apparated into his house.
Startled, he set down the teacups, and began to urgently move towards the entrance hall, where his wife was seeing off their guests. He had to make sure that Lily was ok, and if Dumbledore or Moody were still hanging around they might be able to offer an explanation for the sound. If it was some kind of mass-apparation, they could very well be under attack.
He had just reached the doorway when a dark shape materialized from above, and then James was on the floor, staring at a familiar looking, dark-haired boy who had fallen squarely on-top of him.

This Time Everything Will be Different by Beningirl23
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
15 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
“Secondly it is with great sadness I must announce that dear Professor Cuthbert Binns has decided to move on and is no longer here to teach. He has been replaced by our new History of Magic teacher, Professor Evans, whose wife will also be joining our staff. Madam Evans will be joining Madam Pomphrey in the hospital wing as our new healer."
Life at Hogwarts is not what Harry had ever expected. He had wanted fun and adventure and to possibly make a few new friends, but half the students think they know everything about him, the other half do nothing but stare. Each of his professors seem to have wildly different expectations when it comes to his abilities and a slightly bossy hospital matron seems to know every time he so much as sneezes.
Harry and Hermione have endured hell and burly survived. Voldemort may have died but his beliefs certainly didn't and its time they took matters into their own hands.
Will altering their past truly save the future?

Summary
When Severus Snape dies in the Shrieking Shack, he expects it to be the end.
Instead, he wakes in Godric’s Hollow on the night Lily Potter dies—years younger, with full memory of everything that followed. This time, he doesn’t step back. This time, he takes the child.
With Harry Potter in his care, Snape sets out to change a future he knows too well—one shaped by war, manipulation, and a boy raised to die. But protecting Harry means stepping outside both the Dark Lord’s reach and Dumbledore’s design, and into alliances Snape has never trusted.
Gringotts is watching. The past is shifting. And the child in his arms carries far more than a lightning-shaped scar.

Harold Evans Dursley Is Not Prepared [Paused] by Khriskin
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
13 Dec 2023
Tags
Summary
NOTE: Story is currently on hiatus, I will be finishing An Ode to Normal first and then circling back to the side stories.
This is the story of a Harry Potter who grew up as a Dursley and is Perfectly Normal (and also a wizard). He thinks magic is brilliant but that the non-wizarding world is just as cool.
He's got a family that loves him (in their own slightly dysfunctional ways) and is the same little boy-- but not the -same- little boy he's always been.
And he's on the train to Hogwarts.
---
This is Harry's POV of the An Ode to Normal timeline. It is a -much- slower pace than AOtN and attempts to smooth over some of the canon headaches via universe tweaking. All major plot points (other than the Dursleys) remain the same as of now.
This can be read independently of the other works in this collection.

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
The Most Ancient and Noble House of Black has a curse: loveless marriages are doomed. It is an old myth no one truly believes—until Bellatrix Lestrange’s marriage begins its spectacular collapse, dragging the Black name down with it.
To preserve their standing, the Blacks turn to their youngest daughter.
Narcissa Black has no desire to become another pureblood wife traded like property between old families. But duty leaves little room for refusal, and soon her parents arrange a courtship with Lucius Malfoy: the cold, politically feared heir to the House of Malfoy.
Lucius finds Narcissa too sheltered, too young, and far too delicate for the demands of his world.
The House of Malfoy disagrees.
It has been over a century since the Manor welcomed anyone so completely. Doors open for her. The wards bend toward her. Ancient magic stirs in her presence—and every time Lucius attempts to force tradition upon her, the Manor itself turns against him.
The House of Malfoy has chosen its Lady.
Lucius Malfoy, unfortunately, may not survive the experience.
Welcoming: The Lady of House Malfoy.
