    Summary

    “At least tell me your name?”

    Harry threw his head back over his shoulder, looking the man up and down once more. He seemed innocent enough. It was just his name, after all. They were neighbors. No harm in it.

    “It’s Harry,” he said finally. “Harry Potter.”

    OR

    Neglect can be one of the most painful forms of abuse, being ignored by your guardians when all you want is love hurts. No one seems to care if Harry lives or dies so he spends a lot of time wandering around Little Whinging on his own. His friendly neighbor seems to think that this is dangerous. If only someone paid enough attention to Harry to tell him that his neighbor is a little too friendly...

    OR

    “This smells fishy,” Severus muttered out loud.

    “Fishy?” Harry questioned, wrinkling his nose as if sniffing the air. “It doesn’t smell fishy to me.”

    Oh, sweet Merlin, the first years could still be so sweet and precious and Severus was going to kill the son of a bitch who had stolen the innocence from this one.

    Summary

    While trying to escape from Dudley and his gang, nine-year-old Harry Apparates himself to Hogwarts instead of the roof of his school. Thrilled by his magical surroundings and the lack of vindictive Dursleys, Harry decides to blend in amongst the students so he can stay in the castle forever.

    Meanwhile, Severus tries to make sense of a new, tiny first-year whose name he can't quite place.

    Summary

    There was another student here.

    Tom recognized him vaguely—while transfer students were not necessarily uncommon due to the war, they were rare enough to at least make an impression. This particular transfer student was in his year, sorted into Ravenclaw after an impressively long hat stall. He looked like he might be descended from the Potter line, but he did not share the surname so his lineage was of no particular interest to Tom. Nothing about him was of particular interest to Tom, in fact, and yet here he stood, holding the book that Tom had come here to find.

    It would be a good time to turn away. The Restricted Section was restricted for a reason—only books documenting extremely dangerous or extremely advanced magic were stored here.

    Tom’s feet, however, suddenly felt as if they were made of lead. It wasn’t magic keeping him tied down, but something far more mysterious like curiosity or even fate. In any case, the delay was all it took for the Ravenclaw to lift his chin and meet Tom’s eyes.

    This Ravenclaw, Tom realized, had eyes as blindingly green as the Killing Curse.

    Summary

    Tom has never needed anyone. Why would he? He has himself, his magic, his intellect. He can defeat anything. He can defeat death. Or so he believes, right up until the night of his eighteenth birthday when he murders his family and creates his second horcrux and, somehow, finds himself dead. Then, fifty years later, he wakes up.

    Harry's having a crap time of it. Voldemort's back, Dumbledore's ignoring him, the Order won't let him in on their secrets, and according to the papers, Harry's a liar. The nightmares, the pain peppering his scar, the floods of anger - they're not helping. What he really needs is a distraction.

    Good thing Harry and Tom are on a collision course.

    (In which Ringcrux Tom is dropped into 5th year canon - part one!)
